Why Quartz is the Best Material for Shower Surrounds

If you're renovating your bathroom, selecting the right shower wall material is essential. From affordable options like fiberglass to traditional ceramic tile and luxurious but high-maintenance marble, the choices can be overwhelming. However, quartz shower surrounds offer a unique blend of durability, style, and low-maintenance performance that make them a superior long-term investment.

At Select Surfaces, we specialize in helping Minneapolis homeowners upgrade their bathrooms with high-quality quartz materials. Here's why quartz continues to stand out as the ideal choice for modern, beautiful, and functional shower enclosures.

The Benefits of Quartz for Shower Surrounds

Exceptional Durability for Daily Use

Quartz is engineered for strength. Unlike natural stone, it is non-porous and highly resistant to water damage, stains, and scratches, making it ideal for high-moisture areas like showers. While other surfaces require regular sealing, quartz shower walls maintain their integrity without the extra upkeep.

Low-Maintenance Surface

One of the key reasons homeowners prefer quartz is its hassle-free maintenance. Without grout lines to attract dirt and soap scum, quartz panels are easy to clean. A mild soap and water solution is all it takes to restore your shower walls to like-new condition: no harsh chemicals or intensive scrubbing needed.

Hygienic and Mold-Resistant

The non-porous surface of quartz also prevents the buildup of mold, mildew, and bacteria. In bathrooms where cleanliness is critical, quartz offers a sanitary, moisture-resistant surface that supports a healthier home environment.

Versatile Aesthetics for Any Bathroom Design

Whether you're envisioning a modern minimalist space or a classic, timeless retreat, quartz shower surrounds come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and finishes. You can replicate the look of marble without its maintenance, or create a seamless contemporary finish that enhances your bathroom’s design.
