MAAX Corporation
ATTN:  Denis Aubin
1010 Sherbrooke Street W., Suite 1610
Montreal, Quebec H3A 2R7

      We have acted as special counsel in the State of Indiana ( the "State") to
Maax Corporation, a Nova Scotia unlimited company (the "Company") and Aker
Plastics Company, Inc. ("Aker") and MAAX Midwest, Inc., (the "Subsidiaries" or
the "Guarantors"), in connection with the execution and delivery today of
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of certain
documents contemplated in an Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement dated
June 4, 2004, among the Company, the Guarantors, certain other guarantors and
Goldman Sachs & Co., Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith
Incorporated as representatives of the several Purchasers (the "Exchange and
Registration Rights Agreement"); capitalized terms used herein and not defined
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Exchange and Registration Rights
Agreement.

      In rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth, we have reviewed final
forms of the following documents (collectively, the "Documents"):

            a.    the Indenture;

            b.    the Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement;

            c.    the Guarantee; and

            d.    the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Subsidiaries
                  as amended (the "Organizational Documents")

      We have reviewed the Documents and such other instruments, documents and
agreements as we have deemed necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the
opinions hereinafter set forth.

      In rendering the opinions hereinafter set forth, we have assumed that
there has occurred due authorization, execution and delivery of the Documents
and all documentation in connection therewith.

            We have assumed and relied upon, without independent investigation,
      the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural
      persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals,
      the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
      certified or photostatic copies and the authenticity of the originals of
      such latter documents.





            As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not
      been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or
      comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Subsidiaries.
      As used herein, "to our knowledge" means the conscious awareness of facts
      or other information by any lawyer in our firm actively involved in
      negotiating the transactions contemplated in connection herewith.

            Subject to the foregoing assumptions and qualifications, we are of
      the opinion that:

            Each of the Subsidiaries has been duly incorporated and is validly
      existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of Indiana, with
      requisite power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
      business as described in the Registration Statement and to enter into and
      carry out its obligations under the Documents.

            The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
      the Subsidiaries.

            The Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
      the Subsidiaries.

            The execution and the compliance with all of the provisions of the
      Documents by the Subsidiaries will not result in any violation of the
      provisions of (a) any Organizational Document, (b) the laws of the State
      (the "Applicable Laws"), or (c) to our knowledge, any order, judgment or
      decree naming the Subsidiaries of any court or governmental agency or body
      of the State of applicable to the Subsidiaries.

            We understand that this opinion will be relied upon by Kaye Scholer
      LLP in delivering their opinions with respect to the registration of the
      Notes (as that term is defined in the Indenture) with the SEC; otherwise,
      this opinion is solely for the benefit of the addressees and their
      respective successors and assigns and not for the benefit of any other
      person. We consent to the filing of this opinion with the SEC as an
      exhibit to the Registration Statement.

            We are admitted to practice in the State. We express no opinion as
      to matters under or involving the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
      laws of the United States and the State and its political subdivisions.
      The opinions rendered herein are based on the laws of the State as they
      exist on the date of the opinion.

            Very truly yours,

            BEERS MALLERS BACKS & SALIN, LLP
