Showers provide many benefits for us in our daily lives. They are an integral part of the morning experience and there is no better feeling then waking up to a hot shower before starting your day. When deciding to remodel a bathroom take a little time to learn about the different shower options available.
Prefabricated shower
- These types of showers consist of fiberglass or acrylic kits and are the standard for personal shower starter packs. They come in a range of colors, sizes, and designs and can be a great solution for budget focused projects. They are one-piece shells that are essentially integrated into the walls. They provide quick installation and can be purchased and installed the same day. These types of showers are also low maintenance especially since there are no grout lines to have to scrub mold out of. Most single piece prefabricated showers have minimal seams. Which means less chance of leaking and longer life spans for your floors. Another great concept is that these types of showers are light weight. They are all essentially some form of plastic or another. In a home with floor issues these types of showers provide a much better solution
