Create a sophisticated bathroom space with unparalleled ease and speed. Utile by MAAX is an innovative shower walls solution, available in a range of rich colors, deep textures and stylish patterns that look and feel like tile. Why is Utile superior to tile? Starting with purchase and installation: with tile, several other materials are required and a professional must complete the 3 days installation. Alternatively, Utile walls do not require the purchase of other materials except silicone, and a few tools if not already in hand. They are fixed directly on the studs, in 1 day and do not require hiring an expert! As for the long run: tile is a sturdy material, however grout requires regular care and maintenance to keep its look and integrity long term. Utile walls, on the other hand, have realistic and carefree faux grout lines that will not crack!

Design failure
Read the negative reviews, sadly the reviewers reporting the wall panels arrive cracked are correct. We ordered two panels, both had cracks and had to be returned. The weight of the fiberglass type backing and the fragility of the faux tiles means that any flex in shipping, warehousing, storing, delivery can easily crack the walls and render them useless. These are a design failure - look elsewhere. Lowes was great about processing the return.

Solid, Well Built & Looks Great
Replaced outdated tub/wall with this product. WOW. What a change. Also added MAAX doors. Product was recommended and installed by Kruger Carpentry, Mason, Michigan and they like working with these walls.

Received damaged
I have not had the unit installed yet. Lowes was in contact with me about delivery delays. I asked that the complete set be delivered at one time and per conversations some pieces were not in stock or damaged. I had high hopes to receive a undamaged product due to Lowes communication. This arrived and was unloaded, but when I tried to move the package to another wall I discovered the back of the box placed against the wall had two large gashes in the box exposing/damaging the raw fiberglass whic...

Positive and negatives
Over all this product is beautiful and simple to assemble in theory. My wife and I struggled with fitting the walls into place due to the alcove barely being big enough (no fault of the product but we did need to shave a bit off of the corner studs to get the walls to fit). These walls are fairly heavy and awkward if trying to install though so it made it a bit difficult. Another criticism I have was that the back wall was bowed out at the bottom when installed. I braced it with a board so when ...

Store flat
This piece should be stored lying flat, not leaning against other pieces in a rack. Storing it this way creates a bow that the piece cannot forget and is very difficult for you the installer to correct.

BUYER BEWARE!
If you read all of the reviews, you will notice that it's 50-50 of good vs bad. I just got 3 walls and the Back wall (60 inches) was warped in the middle. I was told to let it sit in the sun for 4-6 hours, but that didn't help?? The side walls had some scratches, and one had a minor gauge. They said they would replace them or give a $200 discount, but the warranty would no longer be valid. To replace them would take about 3 weeks. As for the grout lines being on center, some were lined up whil...

Difficult install
The install process should have been relatively easy but each wall has bowing and mis-drilled alignment holes created serious headache. This made it so the interlocking mechanism would not fully engage. Had to get warranty replacement for the 48 inch panel because it was so bowed out. It took 4 weeks to get replacement shipped. They could easily improve and make this a very good product but be prepared to make adjustments that aren't easy since the panels are only designed to be put together i...

Do Not Buy
Do not buy this product with a Maax base. The shower base will crack within 3 months and the company will screw you over on the warranty. It is not worth the headache. Take it from me. Do not buy from this company.

Sturdy and looks good
The Marble Carrara looks good and the product seems very sturdy. I was concerned that it might break during shipping or installation, but no problem. We needed a right-hand drain so had to use a Kohler shower pan, which was the only 48" I could find with a right-hand drain (all others were center drain). Had to modify the Utile shower walls a bit to fit the Kohler drain, but it worked out OK.
