The author of this article, a person who has been deeply involved in the business of bathroom remodeling, provides a list of ways to make anyone’s shower more functional. The author states that while a “sexy” shower is nice to have, it is better to have a functional shower so that it is guaranteed to work.
Key Takeaways:
- The shower pan is the foundation of your enclosure. Unfortunately, if you allow your bathroom remodeling contractor to force you down his “tried and true” path and you “get” forced to use the type of base he always uses, you may be in for a rude awakening.
- What I do know is the size, shape and location of the drain does matter to the long term success of your shower and bathroom.
- You too need to make sure your interior shower wall surrounding walls are “backed up” with the right materials. If you’ve ever been in a bathroom where the tiles are falling off the walls and the wall feels a bit spongy.
“Yes – a newly designed sleek shower can be sexy – but your old shower may be so “un-sexy” you feel the need to (pun-intended) “throw in the towel” on it!”
