Questions to Ask When Buying a Shower

The shower that you are planning to buy is an investment in your home that will add value to your property. Before you spend your hard-earned money on something that isn't the right size or that doesn't have the features that you'really want it's a good idea to ask some questions. To avoid ordering the wrong kind of shower and experiencing some other problems with showers, you should know some essential facts that will guide you to the right style and model for your bathroom.

The Style You Prefer

In the early planning stage, you should think about the style of shower that you want. A traditional shower unit is simply square with glass panels. This style will work for you but perhaps you would like to achieve a new look. Consider one of the beautiful d shaped shower enclosures that can be placed along one wall of your bathroom. You may also want to look at one of our p shaped shower enclosures that add a unique design element to your bathroom. Both of these styles come with features that you are sure to like.

Appealing Features

Next you should think about the features that you prefer. Do you like a hand-held shower head? Do you want aromatherapy inside your shower and do you need a recessed place for your shampoo and soap? Take a look at some of the styles on our website so that you can begin to narrow down your choices. Finding the right shower for your bathroom is simply a matter of deciding what?s important to you and shopping for these features in a quality shower cabin.

Shower Placement

Do you have a corner in your bathroom that isn't being used efficiently? You may want to look at showers that will fit into that'space to make it more attractive as well as functional. Take a look at an offset quadrant shower which can fit neatly in a corner and will give an elegant look to your bathroom. Another corner solution is the pentagon shower which works if your bathroom has a unique design.

Shower Doors

When you are working on the layout of your shower and thinking about what type of shower would work best, don't forget to include shower doors in your plan. Hinged doors open into the bathroom so you?ll need enough space for them to open without touching other fixtures. Pivot doors open outwards into the bathroom but they don't need as much clearance as hinged doors do. Bi-fold doors have glass panels that make them a great option if space is a concern of yours. And sliding doors are rectangular shaped doors that are an excellent solution if space is a problem. Be sure to ask us about cleaning these doors and the proper care that you should take to keep them working in a trouble-free manner.

Armed with some questions about the topics discussed above you should be able to make a selection with confidence as you upgrade your shower enclosure.
