How to Protect Your Shower From Mold & Water Damage

Day after day, you notice that corner in your shower. THAT CORNER. Maybe it’s CORNERS. Multiple corners. They’re getting worse. You’ve scrubbed and scrubbed and nothing works. You’ve spent countless dollars at the store buying a different chemical to clean your shower and it isn’t working. The place you spend every day is now becoming an eye sore. Maybe you just close your eyes and forget it’s there. But it’s there. The mold in your shower. We don’t want to talk about it, but I’ll be the elephant in the room and say…you have a problem that needs fixed because…it’s mold. How did that even happen? You’re super clean and stay on top of cleaning, but this. THIS. It’s just too much. You just had this bathroom installed not too long ago, and that bathroom remodeling company said there wouldn’t be issues, but there are issues. It’s too late and you can’t get your money back. Why is your shower leaking and collecting mold? Sit down, let’s talk.

The most IMPORTANT part of your shower is your backer board. That layer in between your shower wall and the studs. Of course, water is in your shower and the last thing you want is for water to get through the cracks, through to the backer board, and then to the studs. Then you have a bigger problem than a hard to clean shower. You have…water damage. You never want that to get to the studs and you don’t want the backer board to absorb water. That will collect mold and eventually seep through the shower walls. When you see mold, it’s already a growing problem.

How do you keep that from happening and WHY would a shower installation be done with products of low quality? You might have paid a lot of money for it too!

A water-resistant backer board, layered with a water-resistant shower wall surface will double up on protection against issues in your shower. Fiberglass, acrylic, tile, and some stone shower walls surfaces are not water resistant like other quality products. It’s important that your have the right backer board material to protect your studs and shower walls, and you’d be surprised how OSB (oriented strand board) and Greenboard absorb water and collect mold.

The solution is a water-resistant backer board called Shower Shield, exclusive to Five Star Bath Solutions, your trusted experts in full bathroom remodeling, bathroom remodel bathtub, and bathroom reconstruction. We are so sure of it, we give it a lifetime warranty along with the shower walls that we install, which are a composite material with higher quality than the average acrylic shower walls.
