#Onyx shower free#

I saw the samples at Lowes, the samples at another co, and the samples sent to my home. In my color research with Onyx, I, too, had an initial concern regarding yellowing. and are harder to clean (even when 'waterproofed'). I find that grout lines in particular hold mold, etc. One top will be about 80' and one top will be about 70'. I realize I'm now talking vanities instead of showers, but the expanse is similar. Slightly different, but I thought I'd share that we are choosing Onyx for our bathroom vanities. I love that my local fabricator will customize the size of the lip that my walls will sit on so the walls are flush with the visible sides of the pan happy dance!! Do you have a thermoforming machine in-house? Do you use 1/2' Corian? Is the pan presloped? What is the supportive base under the corian? How tall is the tile flange? How tall / wide is the curb? What is the preferred installation method? I was able to talk with the manager of Keystone to get all of these questions answered to my satisfaction.

I am so glad to finally be finished with this research: For those not familiar with what to ask of your fabricator, here's my short list (I'm just a homeowner, so others feel free to chime in). Keystone Granite: $1,050 including installation (Willamette Valley, OR shipping unknown)

Palmetto Surfacing: $1225 (ships from South Carolina) So, here are some price estimates for my 38' x 42' Corian shower pan: Locally, I asked at all of the marble/granite yards and found one that does Corian! Keystone Granite ( ) which is the company I will use. The owner, Andy Graves has many Corian fabrication videos on YouTube For those in Southern California, seems to be a great choice they don't ship. Shipping a pan across the country was just $300. They make a take tile-ready shower base and use it as their base for their Corian shower pans. I don't want lighter because the lighter clashed with my shower wall tile.Ĭorian Shower Fabricators: For those looking for a Corian shower pan fabricator and find too pricey, this is what I have found. This first pic shows my tile floor and you can see the onyx color is pretty close. If I go with onyx the only color I like comes in gloss (no matte) so I'm wondering if it will work. I'm doing dark charcoal tile in the bathroom and I found the same little matching tiles for the shower base. I feel like its superior in the sense of not having to work about grout on the shower floor but grout doesn't really bother me.ĭoes anyone love or dislike onyx or reg tile floors in showers? Please share any thoughts or comments. Although cost is only about a 25% factor, I just don't know if I like the looks of onyx. Contractor says tile shower floor will be about $600-$800 more. I'm getting quotes around $600 for the onyx base.

I didn't know you could order just the base so I never thought I would use it. I just assumed I would get matching shower tile for the shower floor but then my contractor mentioned getting an onyx shower base. I already bought shower tile for the walls. I'm getting ready to redo my master bath.
