Wish I lived in Oregon now! Griffiorm sounds just what I am looking for. But it would be way too expensive. Thanks. Did you use them for your pan?

No. The shipping made it too expensive. I also wrote directly to Corian to inquire about prefabricated shower pans that I saw online. Unfortunately, they’re not available in the U.S. I think I saw them on a website in the UK. I‘ve never understood the unavailability of so many products that are common in Europe and Asia.

I’ve decided to convert my tub/shower to a walk-in shower and will probably buy a Koehler cast iron pan or a high-quality acrylic shower pan by MTI Baths,

FWIW, we are very happy with the Kohler cast iron shower receptor (pan) that we had installed in our guest bathroom. Much sturdier than the acrylic pan we’d initially bought but returned before installing, when we realized it did not have no-slip grips.

Cat_mom...I love Kohler‘s cast iron receptor and would buy one in a heartbeat, but my 120-year old house (a converted schoolhouse) is built over a mostly inaccessible crawl space with dirt floor and my cast iron bathtub is always ice cold. That’s why I’m considering the MTI acrylic pan. It’s heavier than other brands and has some custom options, such as a foam base that provides a sturdy surface (no flexing) and radiant heat built into the floor. Pricewise, it’s similar to cast iron. The radiant heat option adds $800 to the cost, so I’m forgoing it. The no-slip surface is very important.

beaniebakes, I found a showroom near me today that sells the MTI shower bases. They had a sample of the SculptureStone from their Boutique Collection. It felt so smooth, like silk!! And you can get it in a matte finish. Thanks for mentioning it; I had never heard of it. They also had a cast iron Kohler pan and a Kohler Choreograph pan. I liked the MTI the best.

Susan...good to know. I’ve never seen the SculptureStone; good thing because the retail price point is higher than my budget will allow. If I’m not mistaken, the Boutique Collection pans do not have factory installed tile flanges. They come with a separate flange that must be installed on site. The Designer Collection acrylic pans have thresholds molded onto the pans at the factory. Threshold locations are specified when placing an order. I would love to see the SculptureStone in person, though.

Yes it is pricey. I’m just dreaming right now
