        "text": "You can choose either, depending on your budget, maintenance goals, and design preferences. Acrylic and fiberglass pans offer quick installation, lower upfront costs, and easy-to-clean surfaces with molded curbs. Custom tile bases provide greater flexibility for irregular bathroom dimensions, high-end aesthetics with materials like marble or porcelain, and custom slopes. However, tile requires thorough waterproofing, regular grout maintenance, and precise finish carpentry to ensure a watertight installation over the subfloor.",
