Does anyone have any advise/opinions on Eurowalls, Tanwalls, or modular walls at all?

I am in the process of opening my own tanning salon. I am excited and yet terrified. We are talking about a lot of money to me, and probably to a lot of other people too. I am looking for advise on what others think about the modular wall systems that are out there and which ones they would advise that a person to use. I have gotten bids from Eurowall and Tanwall but am looking to see if anyone has any input as to whether they think one is better than the other or easier to install or anything at all. I have been researching this industry and going to some of the trade shows for 2 1/2 years now, had to stop for a while to reduce stress on problem pregnancy, but I am back at it again. I have the location chosen, I have the lease all negotiated, I just have to sign it and I have a wonderful distributer that has helped me immensly in so many ways. I just received word that I have been approved for the loan and am just waiting to get the paperwork with all of the terms and conditions with it and I can go on to the next step. Can anyone help me here?

No experience with the walls but if you are going to open a salon you are running out of time. You need to be open by February 1st at the latest. If you don't make it open by then you are going to have a full year of trying to make ends meet more than likely.

We have Eurowalls and love them. They have a "wow" factor and are very easy to keep clean. Also keeps the air circulating. They are not cheap, but you can get them installed quickly and open up your salon instead of waiting for contractors.

We also have Eurowalls. They are GREAT. Everyone that walks in does do the WOW thing. Do not try to put them up yourself, we made that mistake it is a lot harder then they make it out to be. And my husband and dad are very handy at that sort of stuff. Pay the extra $ to have them put them up for you.
They are worth the money!!!!!

we put them up ourselves. It was tough at first with their numbering system, but once we got going it was not bad. The video is terrible! It's pretty costly to have them installed as you have to pay for travel, etc in addition to the install.

Good luck!

We just put in TanWall they are great, easy to put up, if things don't work out you can take them with you and sell them unlike sheet rock, trying to get those guys to work fast is a nightmare. 5 rooms took about 2 days and the raceways are great for getting electrical in.

Call Christina sales manager at Tanwall and they will take the stress right out of it!
