Customer Reviews for CRAFT + MAIN Jetcoat 32 in. x 60 in. x 78 in. 5-Piece Glue Up Alcove Shower Surround in Carrara White

The Jeffcoat Alcove Shower Surround in driftwood is an excellent and stylish choice! Even though one corner came slightly cracked on the edge, it was easily repaired and hidden. No way to tell it after installation. Sleek and modern, as well and pretty easy to install. Would recommend!

It was in many pcs when I received it

Great product love the look only issue we had was home our home was built but product went up easily

I had to have trim removed to place new Surround. Ther was a matching seal or trim piece. But I would like 8 ft more. To trim all sides.

Great product. Have now installed it in 2 bathrooms, once by our contractor and then I did the next. Looks great and the product is easy to cut and drill through. But it is a "measure twice, cut once" product so take your time.

first time using this product went together nicely will use again.

People installing 60" tall bath walls can't understand how some of us have panels that snap easily. It's the taller shower panels that flex and snap. We've installed this 3 times in a shower (10 x 20 faux tiles) and have finally done one without breaking a panel. We - ok my clever husband - built a sled to carry each panel in and out. Definitely a two person job. We carry the panel inside, stand up the sled, carefully offload it near the wall. Whew!

Jetcoat shower was relatively easy to install . ( Recommend to watch videos first , and when making cuts if needed , do it with a 48 to 60 tooth blade and expect a lot of fine white shavings to clean up .. Also when carrying pieces , jerked turned up on side it will snap as happened to me. Was still able to use with some added ingenuity . Additionally I used corner pieces which were easier to install if placed first on first corner and then in conjunction with 3rd back wall piece . Looks great , works great .

We ordered 3 of these trying to get one that came unbroken, finally one arrived that we could use. It went up fairly easy, is a nice looking product, very decent quality of tile look and grout lines (fake grout lines) make it look very real, very deceiving if you didn’t know it was a panel, you may not think it is. Customer is very happy,’and for an affordable price, about 10% of the cost of tile installation.

Very easy to cut and install. Measure closely as there’s little forgiveness in your corners. Also found the the sheets easily break across the length, so be careful handling the sheets.

First time installing this product. By the time you double side tape, Liquid nail and caulk all the seams it is held in place really well. i installed it against brand new sheet rock so that helped as well. Great finished product. really happy with everything

Installed product quickly the trim pieces were a little flimsy but worked. Over all looked great.

The marble look panel turns out beautifully. As I expected. It was easy to install and you need to take your time. You will need another person to help put up the panel. I love how there's no mess. All you need is adhesive and cut the panel to your shower's measurements.

Easy to clean, looks really amazing.

After looking for awhile my wife and I decided to go with this system, and we're glad we did. I looked at reviews and noticed a few bad ones, that seemed to be with the install. I am contractor, building and remodeling, and figured these bad reviews were from DIY'ers, so I decided to go with it. I'm not saying anything bad with DIY'ers, but this job is not for someone who doesn't do this everyday. Having said that, I received the panels, looked at the directions and the trim pieces. I will say the corner trim and edge trim are garbage. The corner pieces are worthless. There is barely any coverage. Not only that, with as good as the panels look, I could not install these flimsy cheap looking plastic pieces and cannot believe the company cannot come up with something better. I decided to go without them and butt the inside corners together. This keeps the simulated grout lines consistent, vertically. You cannot just butt these panels together in the corners without making absolutely sure your corners are perfectly plumb. I dry fitted the end and first corner panel together and noticed a small gap between the panels in the middle, showing me the backer board isn't perfectly plumb. I shimmed the corners in the low spots until the corner was perfectly plumb and the panels fit perfectly. I then installed the panels per the instructions. It turned out great and looks awesome. I posted these pictures on my page and people went nuts over it. I have people contacting me to install these in their bathroom remodels. I cannot get over how good this looks and so much cheaper than tile. People who look at it actually think it's tile. I also read a review a couple people have left stating how easy these panels break. After the install, I bent a couple of left over cut offs in half. It takes quite a bit of pressure to break these. If these panels broke on customers, they definitely mishandled or applied unnecessary pressure to the panels. I would highly recommend this system to anyone who asks. I also recommend you have these installed by a professional if you have never done something like this before. Pictures attached.

We were looking for a tile alternative and came across this in the store. It looked great on display and was on clearance so we thought we would give it a shot. The walls are heavily constructed yet as others stated the are very bendy. I had someone else install these and I assisted. Overall install time was about 4 hours. It was not difficult to install even though my bathroom walls were not straight, we just did a lot of dry fitting and trimming to get the fit right before we put the glue on. The corner pieces are a help as they allow for trimming, we were able to trim about 2” off of the end piece then tuck it into the corner slide. My wall was bowed on on side so we had to cut the trim in a “u” shape then we were able to tuck that into the corner piece as well. The walls are a little heavy so it takes 2 people to install.(145lbs total) Even with the 2 sided tape we had to use shower rods to hold the walls in place to dry. The one issue we had was the glue not holding so well around the edges. Most of that was cleared up once the door was installed then we caulked the rest. Other than that it was an overall simple installation for first timers, and I would highly recommend this type of surround for use. I would not recommend diy self installation of this for anyone not familiar with installing these types of things.

For an off-the shelf product, these sheets really exceeded my expectations in terms of their look. They are not overly “printed”, keeping in mind nothing is a replica for real marble. But the overall pattern was nice and appropriately sized for the shower size. The tongue and groove went together easily and tightly. The panels weren’t too difficult to cut, although I wish the end panels came precut (cutting off the tongue or groove seemed silly). After a few weeks installed, these clean well and don’t show spotting any more than any other fabricated shower wall. Very pleased with this purchase and would absolutely install again.

I liked installing this JETCOAT shower wall system. In the past I had used 3-piece faux marble surround kits- the wide panels were hard to move around to install and trim. Also with previous installation I had to build a jig to hold the panels against the wall until the adhesive set up. JETCOAT has solved those problem with this 5-piece shower wall system. The component parts are sized so they are easy to handle and to trim the one back piece that I needed to fit my opening. The double face tape is a really neat idea- it holds the panel in place while the adhesive cures- no need to build a jig to hold the panel tight to the wall. I applied my surround over newly installed water resistance drywall- make sure the wall is clean and free of dust before installing your panels. While the instructions did not say to do so- as with other surround kits to remove any oils from the manufacturing process I cleaned the back of the panels with denatured alcohol (note warnings on alcohol label) and let them dry before applying the double faced tape and adhesive.

Installation was easy and it looks very rich!

Box was in extremely bad shape when we picked it up and when we opened the box up the panels were broke on ends proving the box was bad inside too we returned it without a problem thank you Home Depot after this

First set came to my house broken. I think it was the delivery truck. Got a discount on the next set. After they was installed I could see where the finish side was facing each other and had rubbed the shine part off on some of the panels. The company should put something between the two panels so they don’t rub together. But I am satisfied with the way it all turned out.

The product was very easy to install with one critical note. Be extremely careful handling the material finish side down. It can crack/break at the simulated grout joints.

Good quality and very easy to put together

Item came broken for the third time. Needs sturdier packaging.

This product looks nice. I remodel bathrooms and this was going to be the third time I installed one of these Craft & Main wall surrounds. But I'll never do it again. I picked up one of the walls, to cut it, and it broke in half!! I wasn't rough with it, it just broke! The customer had taken off the whole week from work for this installation, and the wall surround was suddenly broken and unusable. Fortunately, I had a different wall surround in stock from a different manufacturer, and the customer allowed me to use that one instead. Home Depot was nice enough to allow me to return the broken Craft & Main wall surround, for a full refund. But I would never buy another Craft & Main wall surround: it is too thin and too breakable.

I wish i Didn't pay that much for this piece of crap
