The Three Main Systems

Custom tile offers the most design freedom and the highest-end look — any size, layout or pattern — but needs proper waterproofing and a little grout care. Solid-surface panels are large, seamless stone-look sheets with few or no grout lines and very easy cleaning. Acrylic surrounds are molded, low-maintenance and the most budget-friendly, in set sizes.
