EverFab regularly tests its units for strength and durability using accredited 3rd party companies 

Here are the Results.

DURABILITY


Durability might be the most essential trait sought by architects, designers, and users of shower units. Far too often, subpar shower materials are used which leads to cracks, chips, and damage that look terrible and can compromise the unit’s structural integrity. But with EverFab’s fiberglass shower units, you can be confident that the model you're investing in will last as long as you need it to.

To prove the durability of EverFab’s shower bottom seat, as well as its built-in supports, Carlson Testing Inc. (CTI) conducted load testing on nearly every aspect of EverFab showers.

CARLSON TESTING INC. STRENGTH TEST RESULTS

CTI’s strength and durability test was conducted on the ADA compliant shower model S3839A, the ADA compliant shower tub model TS6032A, EverFab's multi-piece shower TS6032MA, and the floor of a model SP3937RFB. Below are the highlights of the test results:

  • The factory-installed grab bars supported nearly 1500 lbs before failing and the field-installed shower grab bars using pan head screws supported at least 500 lbs.
  • The factory-installed ADA shower seat supported 2,000 lbs of weight without failing.
  • The multi-piece shower supported 420 lbs before the wall displaced
  • The SP3937RFB shower pan floor supported 1567 lbs spread out over a 4" diameter plate

As a result of this test, EverFab’s fiberglass shower units with factory-installed accessories were proven to support 6-8x the ADA shower seat and grab bar force requirements, as outlined in the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design. The EverFab floor can support a significant amount of weight spread out over a relatively small area.

Constructed From
Better Shower Material

EverFab Core icon EVERFAB CORE MATERIAL

  • Eliminates warping and waving of the fixture walls.
  • Finished fixtures weigh 50% less than plywood backed units without sacrificing the unit’s strength.
  • Materials similar to EverFab’s Core Material are used in other fiberglass industries to reinforce boat hulls, boat exteriors, and wind turbine blades.

Strength Icon STRONGER THAN WOOD & CARDBOARD

  • Both wood and cardboard prevent the fiberglass layers used in shower construction from bonding, which can lead to separation and peeling.
  • Shower manufacturers that use wood or cardboard often do so because they are cheaper and less labor-intensive materials to work with.
  • Wood and cardboard backed fixtures can swell or distort when rained on in a wholesale yard or on a job site; EverFab Core Material will not.
  • Wood backed fixtures are heavy and often require multiple people to maneuver and install.
