Based on the websites (kohlershowers.com and us.kohler.com) the Choreograph and LuxStone appear to be for different markets. The Choreograph products are like any other Kohler plumbing product: you buy them and install them yourself, or get your dad to do it, or hire someone. LuxStone is a package. You don't buy LuxStone products rather you buy the design + materials + installation from a reseller. The LuxStone "process" is described here.

Are Choreograph shower walls and LuxStone shower walls different? Hard to tell. The Choreograph walls are made of Serica, a "proprietary composite material". LuxStone is made of a "proprietary material featuring natural marble and durable fiber strands". Are those the same? Dunno.

Just for fun I checked Home Depot for a random Choreograph wall. It was deliverable in 5 days.

I replied to your comment on the other thread--production is changing, it's not discontinued. But yes--this means a HUGE wait. I went to Home Depot and got it instead where they still have a few colors to select from.

Lawrence, Heather, THANK YOU. I have been puzzled by this, and I suspected Lawrences's answer. Maybe the LuxStone is going to be more like a high end Bath Fitter's process, where they install the material. My contractor is a great guy, but a one man show and I don't think he's done this before.

I have also noticed the Coreograph "kits" available on Wayfair of all places. Return if the sheets are damaged or the design is flawed seems complicated though.

Again, thank you.

ugh ... just got contacted by my design/build firm that my kohler choreograph walls that were 'in transit' are lost .. how can that be? and that the reorder time is 120 days .... my bathroom remodel (full gut) is almost done .. I also see some on Home Depot. I will probably never order a Kohler product again, in fact I am going to see if I can change my bathroom faucet, etc. that is Kohler.

Bad news!
I used a different solid surface shower. I had it in a week. Go look at Bath1.com an see if any of the showers there appeal to you. I used Transolid. They made a few goofs in sending me trim and they sold me an extra loose panel that I did not need, but they worked well with me to get what I needed. I only had the trouble with the trim because I was covering my ceiling, which was not part of the shower package. They had not done it before and did not think through how the trim would match up with the wall-to-celing transition.

Since you are gutting, you can consider the Transolid New Construction type showers and get the dome with lights in it. You have to stick to their holes for fixtures, though. But the new construction Transolid showers have an aluminum mesh attached to the solid surface panels and because of this, they do not require that drywall be put up behind it. The Remodel type goes up over drywall and you can put whatever holes in it that you need. Fitting walls together is a matter of scribing the panels to your often unplumb walls. If your guy can scribe for doing drywall, it is the same skill. Transolid showers use a corner trim molding, too, so the corners are not even visible. If your guy has not done it before, then this style is more forgiving. Here is a picture of mine. There are a lot of other colors.

Luxstone and Choreograph are the same product. Luxstone is just branded to create differentiation for their installing dealers. Our company used to offer this product, but the deliveries were so problematic we 'hid' the web page we developed for it. Delivery challenges have existed for the entire life of this product - and I'm not sure why. I have also heard people complain about broken panels in shipment.

It's for these reasons we carry in stock a line of laminate wall panels (see the picture below for an example) with a proven fabrication process developed 40 years ago. I'll include a link to an article which looks at the advantages and disadvantages of the Kohler Choreograph (or you can say Luxstone also) to these laminate walls

.

I just learned this morning that while Kohler has discontinued Choreograph, the Luxstone dealers will continue to offer this wall panel line.

Well ain't that dandy. Wonder if it has to do with having to warrant the product and untrained installers.

JuneKnow not clear on what you are talking about.

I did manage to get the last shower kit from the kohler dealer, pure white. He "found one" in their small warehouse, whatever that means. While the other colors patterns were catchy and pure white was not my first choice, It looks fantastic and now i wouldn't choose any other color. It helps keep the room brings on our cloudy winter days.

I had the tile guy tile the ceiling in white tile. The contractor wasn't into the idea of attaching it only to studs, so he built a box using that highly water resistant plywood, and then used the adhesive on that. The bonus being that if we ever need to attach anything, bars for balance and mobility, we can place them anywhere they need to go.

He'd never used the material before, but he was able to cut and place it without much difficulty considering the size of the space. He had his son come and help him on the day of installation, as at the size of the back sheet was a bit unwieldy. It cleans easily, still looks great, no leaks and no gross grout.

I'm happy we wound up with this after several orders of other product that were never delivered or unavailable.

Innovae Building Solutions, I appreciate the link, as I have one more bathroom to go!

June Know, if this is what a gas station restroom looks like, I'd use it in a snap without a second thought. It's much better than tile in terms of practicality, tile may look amazing, but the upkeep is considerable.

Sounds good lkihlk hiffmpequt - I'm glad you found one to do your first project. We can certainly help you with another project
