Three Bathroom Questions Everyone Asks at the Texas State Fair

Each year, the Expo Home Improvement team eagerly looks forward to the hustle and bustle of the Texas State Fair. It's not just the corn dogs and Big Tex that we'll miss this year, but also saying "howdy" to the thousands of people who stop by our exhibit at the fair. We always look forward to chatting with fair attendees about their homes and helping them find ways to make their bathrooms better.

Not only do we get to chat with thousands of Texas homeowners, but we relish allowing people to see, touch, and feel our sample shower and bathtub installations. Each year, we feature our most popular products so that fair attendees can dream up the possibilities.

It's also usually the perfect time to answer all of the burning questions you may have about replacing your old bathtub or shower. Since we can't all be together this year, we thought we'd take some time out to answer the questions we get most often when we exhibit at the fair:

"What is this made of?"

We get a ton of questions about our solid surface acrylic offerings because it is available in a wide array of colors, textures, and finishes. Visitors to our Texas State Fair exhibit can't believe that acrylic can perfectly mimic the appearance of other materials like granite or stone but with so many more benefits. These surfaces are 100% non-porous, easy to clean, and will never stain, chip, mildew, or crack.

"Wait, is there really no grout?"

Subway tile is all the rage in bathrooms, but it requires grout, which can be a pain to maintain. Solid-surface acrylic can simulate the appearance of tile without the annoying upkeep of grout. You'll never spend another minute scrubbing and scraping grout. Even better, our subway tile products are made from 100% virgin acrylic infused with Silver Shield™ Technology, which makes them inherently anti-microbial.

"How fast can you replace my bathroom?"

We carry tons of products in stock, so if time is of the essence, we can help you get a new bathtub or shower installed incredibly fast. Whether safety and accessibility are your top priority or you're simply eager to get a new bathroom, we can get it done. When you choose our most popular in-stock products, we can typically get your installation date scheduled within a week and completed within a single day. During your initial consultation, we'll make certain to point out products that are in stock and ready to go.
