The Swanstone Metro Subway Tile MTMK-8438-1 is a 38 x 84 acrylic bathtub and shower wall panel featuring a modern subway tile design in a sophisticated Ash Gray finish. This single-panel glue-up installation system provides a durable, water-resistant wall surround solution that combines aesthetic appeal with practical functionality. The subway tile pattern adds architectural interest while maintaining the clean, timeless look popular in both contemporary and traditional bath designs.
Designed for direct application to existing framing, this backwall panel is manufactured from Swanstone's engineered acrylic composite material, which offers excellent durability, easy maintenance, and resistance to moisture damage.
