What Is Wetwall?
Built to replace tile, without tile's biggest problem: grout.
Wetwall is a shower wall panel system made by Wilsonart, one of the best-known names in surfaces. We use it because it gives you the look of stone with none of the upkeep.
No grout, ever
Panels lock together with tongue-and-groove joints. No grout lines to stain, seal, or scrub.
Mold-resistant
Built-in antimicrobial protection inhibits stain- and odor-causing mold and mildew.
Looks like stone
Marble, stone, and tile-look designs with a scratch- and scuff-resistant surface.
Fast install
No tile to set and no grout to cure. Most showers are done in 2–4 days.
Tub-to-shower ready
Turn a tub you never use into a safe, low-step walk-in shower.
Wetwall vs. Tile
An honest comparison.
We install both. Here's how they compare for a typical shower.
| Wetwall panels | Tile | |
|---|---|---|
| Grout lines | None | Dozens to hundreds |
| Waterproofing | Waterproof panel core | Relies on a membrane behind the tile; grout is porous |
| Mold & mildew | Antimicrobial surface, nothing to soak in | Grout stains and can harbor mold |
| Cleaning | Wipe down | Scrub grout, reseal periodically |
| Install time | 2–4 days | 1–2+ weeks |
| Design options | Curated stone & tile-look designs | Nearly unlimited: patterns, mosaics, niches |

Questions
Wetwall shower questions.
What is Wetwall?+−
Wetwall is a waterproof wall panel system made by Wilsonart for showers and tub surrounds. Each panel has a waterproof composite core, a decorative stone- or tile-look surface, and antimicrobial protection. Panels lock together with tongue-and-groove joints, so there's no grout.
How long does a Wetwall shower installation take?+−
Most of our Wetwall shower projects take 2–4 days from demolition to finished shower, compared with one to two weeks or more for a traditional tile shower.
How much does a Wetwall shower cost?+−
Walk-in showers with Wetwall start at $6,000 installed. Your final price depends on shower size, plumbing changes, glass, and fixtures. You'll get a written, itemized quote after a free in-home visit.
Is Wetwall better than tile?+−
For most showers, it's easier to live with: no grout to stain or grow mold, faster installation, and wipe-clean maintenance. Tile gives you more custom design options for showpiece bathrooms. We install both and will help you choose.
Can you convert my bathtub into a walk-in shower?+−
Yes. We remove the tub, rework the drain, install a low-threshold shower base, and finish the walls with Wetwall. Grab bars and a handheld shower are easy to add.
Can Wetwall go over my existing tile?+−
Sometimes, but we usually recommend removing old tile so we can check for hidden water damage and give you a sound, flat wall. We'll tell you what we find during your design visit.
