Frequently Asked Questions About Shower Kit Installation
A typical shower kit usually includes the shower pan or base, walls, and doors. Some kits also come with additional features like shelves, seats, and hardware. It’s designed to provide you with everything you need for a complete shower installation, ensuring consistency in design and material.
When choosing a shower kit, consider the size and layout of your bathroom, your desired design, and any additional features like built-in shelving. Also, think about the material and ease of maintenance, as well as compatibility with your current plumbing setup.
One-piece shower kits are single, preformed units that offer seamless construction, reducing the risk of leaks. They’re ideal for new construction but can be challenging to maneuver into existing bathrooms. Multi-piece kits come in several sections, making them easier to transport and install in tighter spaces. They require careful assembly to ensure a water-tight seal at all joins.
Acrylic and fiberglass are both lightweight, affordable materials used in shower kits. Acrylic is known for its durability, glossy finish, and better resistance to scratches and fading. Fiberglass, while easier to install due to its flexibility, is more prone to scratching and doesn’t have the same high-quality finish as acrylic.
Consider the opening mechanism (sliding, pivoting, or hinged) and the material of the door (glass, frosted glass, or plastic). Ensure the door mechanism suits the space in your bathroom—sliding doors, for instance, are great for smaller spaces. Also, consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance.
