Things To Look For When Shopping For A New Shower
by Sonia Castro
If you are ready to replace your old shower with a new one, you will want to start thinking about all of the different things you need to consider. Before you head to a local shower store, spend a little time reviewing the following:
The Size
The size of shower you can get for your bathroom will depend on whether you are basically starting with a blank space or if you have to make sure that the new shower fits perfectly where the old one used to be. If you need it to fit just right, you will want to get measurements of the space and take that information with you to the shower store. Otherwise, you are free to get any size of shower your heart desires.
Accessibility
This is very important for those who have some mobility issues or trouble maintaining their balance in the shower. You can look for grab bars, anti-slip coating on the shower floor, and maybe a built-in bench for sitting down in the shower. Having a shower with such helpful extras can also improve the value of your home. A future buyer that might need those things can have them already in place. They won't have to worry about upgrading the bathroom shower.
Tiles Or Panels
You will need to decide if you want to have solid plastic wall panels for your shower or if you prefer the look of tiles. If you opt for tiles, you can pick from a wide variety of tile designs. You can use all the same or mix them up a bit for a custom job. Of course, if you are looking for something that can be installed very quickly, you may simply want to purchase the showers with plastic paneling walls.
With all of those points taken into consideration, you should find that it is going to be a lot easier for you to figure out what you want from your next shower purchase. Make a list of key points so you do not get sidetracked and end up purchasing a shower that is not going to meet all of your needs. Don't be afraid to check out a few different shower stores in order to ensure that you are getting a good look at all of the varieties of showers that are in stock. If you have to special order a shower, you might have to wait several weeks before it arrives.
