Tile versus acrylic showers, honestly compared
Acrylic is faster to install, easier to clean and hard to beat in a rental or a secondary bath. Tile is fully customizable, handles odd layouts and curbless entries, and lasts longer when it is waterproofed correctly. The right answer depends on the room, how long you are staying and how much cleaning you want to do.

A curbless shower needs the floor to be recessed or the whole bathroom raised, plus careful slope and usually a linear drain. A low curb keeps the structure simple and still steps down to about two inches. Curbless is the better long-term accessibility answer; a low curb is the practical answer when the floor structure will not cooperate.
