Eight Reasons to Install an Onyx Shower System

Installing an Onyx shower system in your Iron Range home or cabin offers several compelling benefits that can enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of your bathroom.

1.) Exceptional Durability: Onyx shower systems are crafted from high-quality materials like engineered stone and resin, designed to withstand daily use. They resist cracks, chips, and fading, ensuring long-lasting elegance and adding value to your Iron Range, Lake Vermilion, Ely or Side Lake, MN-area home. Onyx products are known for coming standard with a “Yes, Guaranteed Forever” warranty, underscoring their durability.

2.) Customizable Design: Onyx showers offer a wide range of colors, patterns, and finishes, allowing you to tailor the look to match your home’s style. They can be custom-made to fit unique spaces — with options for sizes, shapes, and accessories like niches, benches, or corner caddies, making them ideal for both compact and spacious bathrooms.

3.) Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional tile showers that require grout cleaning, Onyx systems are groutless – making them easier to clean. A simple wipe-down with mild cleanser and water keeps them looking pristine and their non-porous surface resists stains and bacteria buildup.

4.) Seamless and Quick Installation: Onyx shower systems feature pre-fabricated components and precise measurements — enabling a faster installation compared to more-complex tile showers. This can save time and reduce renovation hassles. Need help installing your new Onyx shower system?

5.) Accessibility Features: Onyx showers can be customized for accessibility, with options like low-profile bases, add-on ramps, grab bars, and built-in seating. These features make them suitable for aging-in-place or individuals with mobility challenges, enhancing safety and comfort.

6.) Versatility for Various Applications: Beyond shower bases and wall panels, Onyx systems include accessories like lavatories, trim, and seats, allowing for a cohesive bathroom design. They can be tailored for standard or custom applications — including handicap-accessible setups or steam showers. (Who DOESN’T want a steam shower?)

7.) Cost-Effective: While costs vary, Onyx shower bases can be more affordable than custom tile floors. The reduced installation time and lack of grout maintenance can also lower long-term costs.

8.) Aesthetic Appeal: Onyx systems provide a sleek, modern look that can transform your bathroom into a spa-like oasis. Solid panel designs offer a clean, seamless appearance compared to tiled showers.
