        "text": "Acrylic shower surrounds install quickly, require zero grout maintenance, and have a lower initial cost, but they offer limited design flexibility and fixed sizing. Custom tile allows complete design personalization, fits irregular alcove dimensions, and accommodates built-in stone benches, custom niches, and decorative accents. However, tile requires a longer installation process, meticulous waterproofing behind the walls, and routine grout cleaning. If your bathroom has non-standard dimensions or you prefer durable, high-end materials like marble or porcelain, custom tile is usually the better investment.",
