Upgrade Your Shower with Onyx Collection: Style + Durability for a Lifetime
If you’re looking to remodel a shower that blends elegance, low-maintenance and long-term value, the Onyx Collection wall-panel system is a standout choice. At Ace Handyman Services, we love helping homeowners in the Columbus metro area and sounding communities including Gahanna, Pickerington, Dublin, and Westerville discover how these panels can transform not just a shower, but the feel of the entire bathroom.
Why Choose Onyx Collection Wall Panels?
There are three big benefits:
1. Variety of finishes and textures
On the Onyx site you’ll find several distinct finishes for their wall panels:
- Gloss Smooth Finish – Their most popular finish: a sleek, classic, smooth surface that’s easy to clean.
- Subway Tile Finish – A design that mimics the look of rectangular subway tile (3″ × 9⅝″) with shallow faux grout grooves.
- Stone Tile Finish – A molded pattern based on natural 11⅜″×11⅜″ stone tile: gives the aesthetic of tile without the risk of leaking grout seams.
- 8″×24″ Wavy Tile Finish – A stylish, larger-format tile look (7⅞″×24⅛″ actual) with grout looking lines and pattern that can run horizontally or vertically.
- Shiplap Finish – A smooth panel with ¼″ recessed grooves spaced 5″ apart: for a more relaxed, modern-rustic look.
2. Customizable size, color and design
- The panels are available in all of Onyx Collection colors.
- They’re made to order to match your space: For example, maximum widths/heights vary by finish (e.g., Gloss can go up to ~118½″ each direction, though rule is panels cannot exceed 80″ in both directions).
- Because they’re solid surface (approx. 5⁄16″ thick) and color-throughout, the finish is consistent and durable.
3. Lifetime Guarantee for Peace of Mind
One of the key selling points: the Onyx Collection uses a guarantee described as “Yes, Guaranteed Forever.” If the product ever fails, they’ll replace it or refund the cost.
For you as a homeowner, that means: you invest once, and you’re covered. No more worrying about grout leaks, tile delamination, or surface deterioration that shortens the life of cheaper systems.
What This Means for Your Remodel
Here are some benefits when you choose Onyx Collection Shower Panels
- Faster, cleaner install: Because these are large-format panels instead of many tiles and lots of grout, installation is often smoother, fewer joints, fewer grout lines.
- Low-maintenance surface: Smooth finishes are easier to clean: no deep grout lines to scrub, no porous tile surfaces. The Onyx site even recommends household cleaners like diluted white vinegar for maintenance.
- Custom look without premium tile cost & complexity: You get the look of stone or tile, or sleek modern gloss, but from a system designed for ease of install + durability.
- Accessible & up-gradable: Since the panels are solid surface, custom cuts and shapes are possible; supports tub-to-shower conversions, ADA-friendly upgrades, etc.
- Longevity & value: With the lifetime guarantee, you’re investing in a remodel that not only looks good today but will hold up long-term.
How Ace Handyman Services Makes It Happen
Here’s how we approach an Onyx panel remodel for you:
- Consultation & design: We walk through your space, review finish and color options from the Onyx palette, and decide which panel finish best suits your vision (Gloss, Subway, Stone, Wavy or Shiplap).
- Measure & order custom panels: Because Onyx allows custom sizing, we measure precisely and order panels to fit your shower space, reducing extra cuts/adjustments.
- Install with care: We handle the attachment with adhesive silicone recommended by Onyx, use color-matched silicone for seams, trim panels as needed with standard wood-cutting tools.
- Add finishing touches: Matching corner trims, shower accessories (like seats, caddies) that complement the Onyx panels.
- Handover & maintenance guidance: We show you how to care for the new surround (e.g., non-abrasive cleaner, avoid heavy impact, etc.), so that the lifetime guarantee remains meaningful.
Is It Right for Your Bathroom? A Few Considerations
- Because panels cannot exceed certain dimensions (e.g., the “rule: panels cannot be greater than 80″ in both directions”). If your shower wall is very large or has unusual geometry, we’ll review fit.
- These panels are not intended for steam‐shower use, according to the Onyx specs.
- While the surface is durable, installation must follow correct procedures (use the right adhesives, silicone, support, etc.) so the guarantee remains valid.
- Color selection and panel finish should tie into the rest of your bathroom: floor, vanity, lighting. Because with such custom options you want cohesion, not overwhelm.
If you’re planning a shower remodel and you want a product that brings style, durability, and long-term value, then the Onyx Collection wall panels are an excellent choice.
At Ace Handyman Services, we’re well-equipped to handle these installations — from helping pick the finish and color, to measuring, to professional installation and clean-handover.
