How EverFab Manufactures the Best Bath Tub-Showers

Written by EverFab | Feb 2, 2021 7:13:22 PM

At EverFab, we take quality seriously. Our team of professional bathroom artisans brings years of industry experience to the table with every handcrafted, one-piece fiberglass shower that we produce. We truly believe we manufacture the most durable, most reliable, and overall best bath tub-showers (such as our tub shower model TS6032A) at an incredible value to our customers. How do we do it? It all starts with our hands-on approach.

Hand-Rolled Fiberglass For the Best Bath & Shower Units

Architects, designers, and consumers all understand the incredible value and quality of a handcrafted piece of furniture when compared to mass-produced alternatives. The best bath fixtures and shower units are no different.  What you might not know, however, is that not all fiberglass showers are pumped out by robots in an automated factory. It’s possible to purchase handmade fiberglass showers at a cost-efficient price, with all the benefits of artisanal craftsmanship.

Every fiberglass shower and tub-shower at EverFab is made from a custom multi-layer blend of hand-rolled fiberglass, a high-strength spray core, and a resilient gel coat finish. This meticulous manufacturing process—handled by real people—creates  the best bath-tub showers in the business. They’re lighter and stronger than competing showers, with higher glass percentage and the durability to persevere through shipping and installation without cracks or damage.

Our Five-Step Manufacturing Process

  1. Our technicians start by applying a thick polyester gel coat to an open shower mold, which is custom-selected to fit the precise shape and dimensions specified by the customer. This gel coat cures into a UV resistant, bacteria-inhibiting shell that will protect the shower’s surface.
  2. EverFab’s expert craftsmen will spray an initial fiberglass layer onto the unit next, and roll it out by hand for smoothness and consistency.
  3. A coating of spray core follows, to fill any remaining air gaps and enhance the structural strength of the unit.
  4. Our proprietary EverFab Core Material makes up the next layer.  Whereas the plywood or cardboard used by other brands would inhibit the proper bonding of fiberglass resin layers at best (and create peeling, swelling, and separation at worst), EverFab Core Material actually helps every layer in the composite to chemically bond. It’s also more rigid, more durable, and 50% lighter, preventing warping or waving while making the whole unit easier to transport and install.
  5. Finally, an additional layer of fiberglass is rolled on by hand (as with the first layer) for a final boost in the shower unit’s strength and quality.

The Best Bath Tub-Showers Guarantee Quality

We’re so confident in our unique, handcrafted manufacturing process and high-quality materials that we offer a 30-year warranty on every one of our EverFab shower units. The higher glass percentage (and lower calcium sulfite percentage) of our fiberglass, compared to many of our competitors, can be counted on to provide long-lasting durability.

Since all of our showers are handmade, we also have the freedom to customize our manufacturing process as necessary to suit stringent specifications for size, shape, and durability. You can rest assured that every unit already complies with ADA requirements for maximum weight on our fully reinforced bottom plates, as well as installation of ADA compliant accessories, such as grab bars and seats, wherever you may need them.

We’ve said it before, but we’ll say it again: our flexible, resilient portfolio of fiberglass products and ADA compliant add-ons stand among the best bath showers and accessories in the industry. Get in touch with EverFab today to learn more about the unparalleled quality of our products.
