Case Study: A Sioux Falls Shower Story — Beauty Meets Function Stunning Man-Made Stone
When we first met with Ryan and Megan in Sioux Falls, they had one clear vision: a shower that was not just beautiful but a breeze to get in and out of. But there was a catch — no acrylic. Not even a little. Their dislike for acrylic showers was clear, and they wanted something a bit more… substantial.
The Sioux Falls Setting
Now, Sioux Falls isn’t just any city. It’s home to Falls Park, where the Big Sioux River makes a grand curtain of waterfalls that’s been a favorite local hangout since forever. It’s a place where natural beauty meets practicality — a perfect metaphor for what Ryan and Megan wanted in their new shower.
They wanted a shower that was as reliable as the Old Courthouse Museum is historic and as visually stunning as the waterfalls themselves — but without the slippery hassle or the cheap feel acrylic can sometimes bring.
The Challenge
Most folks would have gone with acrylic because, hey, it’s the easy route. But Ryan and Megan wanted something different — something man-made yet natural-looking. They were drawn to our man-made stone option, which promised durability and that “wow” factor without feeling like a plastic enclosure.
The trick was clear: create a space that combined ease of access with elegance, and get it done quickly because, well, no one wants their bathroom out of commission for weeks.
The Journey
After a quick yet detailed chat, it was time to get to work. We started by designing a shower space that felt open, inviting, and simple to use. No hoops to jump through, no sliding doors that stick, just a smooth entry and exit experience. Megan joked that it needed to feel like “walking into the falls” but without the cold and wet surprise.
Two days later, just like that, Ryan and Megan’s new shower was ready to take the plunge. The man-made stone surface gave it that natural elegance they wanted — not the “plastic-y” vibe they dreaded. It was solid, beautiful, and just what they hoped for.
Living the Sioux Falls Dream
Since then, Ryan has confessed that getting in and out of the shower feels so effortless, he’s almost looking forward to his morning routine (almost). Megan loves how the new design echoes the natural beauty of Sioux Falls itself — sturdy, welcoming, and quietly impressive.
Their shower now stands as a little tribute to their city’s charm: practical, elegant, and refreshingly no-nonsense.
Takeaway
Sometimes, it’s the little things — like choosing man-made stone over acrylic — that make a big splash in everyday life. Ryan and Megan’s story is a reminder that thoughtful design doesn’t have to take forever, and a great shower can really change the way you start (and end) your day.
And all that in just two days. Because even in a place known for its steady pace and stunning waterfalls, we know folks want their improvements done fast and done right.
If you ever find yourself near Falls Park, just remember — some showers there are inspired by the falls themselves, and not all of them are made of acrylic. Call Custom Bath & Shower at (844) 772-8821 for your own shower makeover story.
