The Benefits of Kohler LuxStone Showers for Your Bathroom Remodel

If your shower is hard to clean, looks outdated, or just doesn’t work the way it should, it might be time for an upgrade. Whether you're remodeling your whole bathroom or replacing an old tub, choosing the right shower system makes all the difference.

That’s where Kohler LuxStone comes in. At HomePride Bath, we’ve helped hundreds of Colorado homeowners transform their bathrooms with this stylish, long-lasting option. In this article, we’ll explain what makes LuxStone shower walls special, walk you through the installation process, and share why many homeowners choose it over tile, fiberglass, or acrylic.

What Is Kohler LuxStone?

Kohler LuxStone is a custom shower system made from a special composite material. It's a blend of natural crushed stone and strong fiber strands, designed to mimic the look of real stone—without the hassle. The result is a sleek, smooth surface that’s built to last and simple to maintain.

LuxStone is stronger than traditional tile, easier to clean than granite, and doesn’t stain or chip like fiberglass. It’s also nonporous, which means it’s resistant to mold and mildew, making it a top choice for families looking for a clean, healthy bathroom.

Why Homeowners Love LuxStone Shower Walls

Let’s look at the top reasons why so many people are switching to Kohler LuxStone for their bathroom remodeling projects.

1. Beautiful Natural Stone Look Without the Cost

LuxStone shower walls give you the elegant appearance of natural stone like marble or granite—without the expensive price tag or maintenance. From soft whites to rich greys and textured patterns, there are plenty of style options to match any bathroom design.

You can also pair LuxStone walls with matching shower bases, sleek glass doors, and custom accessories to build a custom shower that fits your vision.

2. Low Maintenance and Easy to Clean

One of the biggest benefits of LuxStone is how easy it is to take care of. Unlike tile, there are no grout lines to scrub. The nonporous surface resists water buildup, so you won’t have to worry about stains, soap scum, or bacteria.

And because it’s made from crushed stone and strong fibers, LuxStone won’t crack, fade, or wear down over time—meaning less work for you and a longer-lasting shower.

3. Mold and Mildew Resistance

Tired of battling mold in the shower? You’re not alone. Mold and mildew thrive in warm, damp places like traditional tiled showers. But with LuxStone, that’s no longer a problem.

Thanks to its sealed, nonporous surface, LuxStone showers help prevent water from getting trapped—one of the main causes of mold growth. This makes it a healthier and safer choice, especially for households with kids or allergy concerns.

4. Customizable to Fit Any Bathroom

Every bathroom is different, and that’s why LuxStone is designed to be flexible. Whether you’re working with a small guest bathroom or a spacious master suite, you can design a custom shower layout that fits your space perfectly.

Choose from different wall styles, shower bases, seating options, shelving, and showerheads to create a personalized spa experience right at home.

What Do Kohler LuxStone Reviews Say?

If you're wondering what other homeowners think, Kohler LuxStone reviews are full of positive feedback. Many reviewers mention how impressed they are with the product's durability, style, and how simple it is to maintain.

Here are a few things customers often say in their LuxStone reviews:

  • “It looks just like real stone—but without the cleaning hassle.”

  • “The installers were fast and professional. My shower was done in one day.”

  • “I was worried about mold, but LuxStone has made that a thing of the past.”
