Why More Dallas Remodelers Are Switching to SMC Shower Systems

Faster Installs. Fewer Callbacks. More Predictable Margins.

In Dallas, bathroom remodeling is getting more competitive every year.

Homeowners expect shorter timelines, investors want reliable quality, and remodelers are dealing with rising labor costs and tighter schedules.

That’s why more local contractors are moving away from traditional tile and toward SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) shower systems.

At Kostone, we work closely with Dallas-based remodelers to turn bathroom renovations from high-risk, labor-heavy jobs into repeatable, scalable projects.

The Real Problem With Traditional Tile Showers

Tile isn’t bad—but it’s unpredictable.

Most remodelers in Dallas have experienced:

• Multiple waterproofing steps with zero room for error

• Quality that depends heavily on installer skill

• Callbacks 1–2 years later due to:

  • Moldy grout

  • Cracking or discoloration

  • Water penetration behind walls

   

Tile showers rely on people to be perfect every time. That’s a tough business model.

Why SMC Shower Systems Reduce Risk

SMC shower systems aren’t just a different material—they’re a different construction logic.

Built-In Waterproofing

• Structurally waterproof wall panels and bases

• Interlocking panel connections

• No additional waterproofing layers required

Waterproofing becomes engineered, not improvised on site.

Faster Installation

• Most standard showers can be installed in one day

• No drying time, no multi-trade coordination

For remodelers, that means higher monthly project capacity and better crew utilization.

Fewer Callbacks

• No grout, no mold

• Dense, impact-resistant surface

• Ideal for rental units, flips, and long-term residential use

Less time fixing problems. More time building revenue.

SMC Isn’t “Luxury”—It’s Smart for Dallas Projects

Many remodelers initially worry:

“Will clients accept something that isn’t tile?”

In reality, today’s homeowners care more about:

• Clean, modern looks

• Easy maintenance

• Long-term durability

Matte white and stone-look SMC panels deliver a high-end appearance without the maintenance issues of tile.

That’s why SMC is increasingly used in:

• Single-family bathroom remodels

• Multifamily and rental upgrades

• House flips where time = profit

Kostone: More Than a Product Supplier

Remodelers don’t just need materials—they need reliability.

Kostone supports Dallas remodelers with:

• Local inventory to reduce lead times

• Project-based system matching (panel sizes, bases, layouts)

When something matters on a job site, having a local partner makes the difference.
