Corner showers are a
great space saving alternative to the standard bath and shower combinations. They are stalls that
are often triangular shaped and are designed to be fitted in the corner of your
bathroom.
They can come in a
kit that includes a single neo-angle base, wall panels made from hard plastic, glass sidewalls,
glass door and an instruction manual. They are fairly easy to setup and install as the structure
already consists of the various holes for plumbing fixtures and a drain for
water.
Whether or not you are choosing a
corner shower to install in a newly created bathroom or you are renovating your old one, the result is the same, an
easy and affordable way to add showering facilities to your bathroom without any loss of aesthetic
appeal.
As explained above, your corner
shower may come with different parts but modern versions normally come as standalone pieces that don’t require any
assemble, only placement. This is ideal as you don’t have to worry about tight seals and leakage. But, if you
cannot get a single unit into the bathroom the multi pieces are just as safe and secure and can be assembled with
the right tools and instructions.
To install a corner shower, you will
need a little plumbing know-how and the right tools for the job. You need to ensure that you have enough space in
the corner you choose and that adequate plumbing is available to provide water and drainage for your corner shower.
Some showers will require additional parts such as foam insulation, nails and screws or flat plywood. If you think
you may have trouble installing your corner shower, it’s best to get a handyman or plumber to assist so that your
corner shower is set up perfectly and ready for use.
Although all corner showers are
designed to take up as little space as possible, the design can vary greatly with different features and functions
available to make your shower a bit more memorable. One of the main differences between corner showers is the
design of the door; many can be flat or curved and will affect the overall look of the stall. White is the most
favored color, although many other
varieties can be purchased in order to match you entire bathroom design.
Another advantage of a corner shower
is how easy it is to clean. With less space to deal with and easy to maintain materials, less time will be spend
trying to clean your corner than with regular bathtubs.
When purchasing a corner shower,
keep in mind that prefabricated versions are cheaper and easier to install than multipart stalls. Also design will
play a major factor in how much money you will spend. You should also note that multi-part kits allow more
flexibility when designing your bathroom.
If you already have a design and a
spot picked out, then single pieces should be no problem. Corner shower kits are solid wherever
bathroom fixtures are sold and you can have your choice of plumbing fixtures to accommodate your kit.
Functional yet attractive, corner showers are a great addition to any bathroom and will help you preserve
well need space and still be economical when compared to traditional bathtubs.
