Commercial bathroom projects move fast. Tight timelines, strict specs and coordination among multiple trades mean every step needs to go smoothly. For contractors, the materials and partner you choose can make all the difference between finishing on time or falling behind.
That’s where Meridian Solid Surface® from Tower Industries stands out. Engineered for precision and built to perform, Meridian Solid Surface® helps contractors save time, simplify installation and deliver long-term value on every commercial project.
Here are five key advantages of solid surface installation that make Meridian a hassle-free, high-performance choice for contractors.
1. Faster Installation Through Precise Fabrication
In commercial construction, time is one of your most valuable resources, and the materials you choose determine how efficiently it’s used. Traditional options like tile or stone require multiple installation steps (framing, backer board, waterproofing, grouting and sealing) before the surface is ready for use.
Meridian Solid Surface® streamlines that process. Each panel, shower base and surround is fabricated to your project’s specifications and arrives ready to install with minimal prep. Significant cuts are rarely necessary, and when minor adjustments are needed on-site, installers can make them easily with common tools.
Large-format panels cover more area with fewer seams, reducing the time spent aligning, sealing and cleaning up. Across multi-unit builds, such as hotels, healthcare facilities and university housing, those efficiencies translate into lower labor costs and faster project completion.
2. Manageable Material Simplifies Handling and Logistics
Some surface materials are bulky or fragile, requiring extra care or specialized equipment to move them safely. Meridian Solid Surface® offers a balanced combination of strength, stability and workability that keeps jobs moving efficiently.
Installers can position panels confidently without worrying about cracking, delamination or inconsistent thickness. The material’s uniform density ensures it stays stable and predictable during cutting or routing, reducing the risk of damage and wasted time.
This balance of durability and precision keeps crews productive and minimizes rework on the jobsite.
3. Seamless Design Means Fewer Headaches
Seams are often the weak points in a bathroom installation. Meridian Solid Surface® minimizes those points of failure. Panels are bonded together with inconspicuous joints, creating a continuous, watertight surface.
This seamless installation method eliminates grout, one of the most time-consuming and failure-prone steps in tile-based systems. With fewer joints to align or seal, contractors spend less time on finishing work, which helps move projects to completion faster.
The result is a professional, polished finish that performs as well as it looks without the typical post-installation issues.
4. Reliable Performance That Reduces Callbacks
Every contractor knows that a project isn’t truly complete until the callbacks stop. Meridian Solid Surface® helps keep that punch list short.
The material’s nonporous composition resists moisture, stains and bacterial growth, helping it maintain its integrity in even the most demanding commercial environments. Because it’s solid throughout, minor surface damage can be repaired or refinished on-site rather than being replaced, saving time and keeping clients satisfied.
That long-term reliability means fewer warranty claims, fewer maintenance calls and a reputation for delivering work that lasts.
5. Consistent Quality and Expert Support on Every Project
Behind every successful installation is a dependable manufacturing partner. Tower Industries backs every Meridian Solid Surface® project with consistent quality and professional support from design through delivery.
