First, one must determine what type of shower enclosure is desired. Shower enclosures can be constructed from many materials, including fiberglass, tempered-glass and acrylic, tile, glass block, and even metal. Many websites sell these products already made and ready to install. However, if one wishes to build or design their own enclosure, a knowledge of basic construction is warranted. Two good books on the subject are written by Michael Byrne and John Bridge. There are also some good DIY instruction videos on YouTube to help one through the project.

How To Install a Walk In Shower?

Walk in showers have become extremely popular among those that want to remodel or redesign their bathroom. These types of shows provide extra showering space without any moving parts and can give one’s bathroom a model and stylish feel to it. You can purchase either a specific sized walk in shower unit and install it or you can purchase only the shower panel and design it as it fits your needs, lifestyle, and taste in decor. Walk in showers can be supplied with or without an end panel, and can also be purchased without a shower tray to design and build a wet room showering area. Changing one’s bathroom tub to a walk in shower can completely alter the look and feel of your bathroom as well as your bathroom’s function. People usually design and build a walk in shower that is big enough for two shower heads as well as a providing a seating area that wraps around the shower area. Building a walk in shower takes a lot of time and patience; it must be done correctly or it will not function properly. A few key points to remember when converting your regular shower to a walk in shower include removing the tub or shower area from its space; make sure that it is cleaned thoroughly including the tiles. Another key point is you must realign the drain. This can be done by leaving the existing drain in place and by using a show pan; using a show pan can save you a great deal of money and time. Putting a glass door on your walk in shower can show to be more of a hassle even though it looks stylish. It is very difficult to keep it clean and doesn’t prevent water streak marks. It does give your bathroom a very appealing look and functions well as a stylish addend to your bathroom. If you choose to install a glass day you can use a squeegee to remove water drops and steam from the glass. This prevents a build-up of water streaks and soap scum. Even applying car wax twice a month can help prevent these annoying water build-ups.
