Quartz-look Shower Walls From Brandt Molded Marble
As a builder or remodeler, you know that your choice of materials matters. In bathroom design, the shower material can make or break the look and feel of the whole space. Blending the beauty and elegance of quartz-look with the durability and affordability of composite materials, our Bella wall panels are a standout option for bathroom showers.
Whether you’re a commercial builder working on high-volume projects or a homeowner looking to create a personal oasis, our Bella Walls can meet your needs. This blog will explore why engineered stone is an excellent choice (especially for commercial projects), outline the benefits it offers, and highlight the stunning options available for your next bathroom project.
Why Choose Engineered Stone
Engineered stone has long been a favorite material for homeowners and builders alike, thanks to its timeless appeal and exceptional durability. It is versatile and fits seamlessly into a variety of home designs, offering both beauty and functionality.
With a perennially classic look, it should come as no surprise that engineered stone aligns with some of 2024’s top bathroom design trends, including these two described in our blog Simple Bathroom Designs to Try in 2024:
Solid Surface
Renters and homeowners alike are looking for lower-maintenance, yet stylish surfaces. One of its biggest advantages is that it eliminates grout lines and the maintenance that comes with grout. Solid surface showers have the dual benefit of enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the bathroom and making cleaning and maintenance a breeze.
Nature-Inspired Colors and Tones
All-white bathrooms and their clinical feel are out; nature-inspired colors and tones are in. We offer a wide range of colors and natural stone-like appearances to perfectly complement this trend and bring a touch of the outdoors inside.
Why Engineered Stone is a Smart Option for Contractors
First, let’s distinguish quartzite from engineered stone. Quartzite is a hard, durable natural rock that with varied appearance and veining and patterns similar to marble. Slabs of quartzite are sometimes used as a material in kitchens and bathrooms. Engineered stone is made from crushed quartz crystals, resins, and pigments to produce a nonporous composite material that mimics natural quartz for use in kitchens, bathrooms, and more.

For commercial builders, especially those with high-volume projects, quartzite may not be the best option. Like marble and granite, which are also popular materials for home design, quartzite has to be mined. The time and labor required to extract quartzite increase the overall material cost. Naturally occurring color and pattern variations mean slabs will have inconsistent looks; trying to cut quartzite for consistency raises the cost even more.
But thanks to engineered stone, commercial builders have a look-alike product that gives bathroom showers a luxurious look that can be consistent for those high-volume projects without breaking the bank.
Here are our top 7 reasons why engineered quartz is an excellent material choice for bathroom showers on your commercial projects.
1. Affordable
Engineered stone provides the luxurious look of natural quartz at a fraction of the cost. And because it can be manufactured for volume, it’s a cost-effective option for high-end or high-volume projects.
2. Custom Sizing
Engineered stone can be cut to fit any dimensions, ensuring a perfect fit for every project.
3. Maintenance-Free
Unlike natural stone, engineered stone is non-porous and resistant to staining, meaning it requires minimal upkeep.
4. Eco-Friendly
Mining natural quartz can destroy habitats and cause soil erosion and pollution. Manufacturing engineered stone does require energy; however, those production processes are typically more efficient. In addition, the manufacturing process makes engineered stone more durable. A longer lifespan makes it more sustainable.
5. Versatile in Design
The wide range of pigment and pattern options available means engineered stone can complement any design aesthetic.
6. Heat & Impact Resistance
Unlike natural quartz, which can have imperfections that can affect performance, engineered stone is designed and manufactured to be highly durable, and resistant to stains, scratches, and heat. These characteristics allow it to maintain its beauty and integrity over time.
