A bathroom shower is the main focal point in any home bathrooms and as such you’ll always want to have it looking great. Plenty of options exist out there for your shower remodeling project and so you have to make sure that both the large and small detail things are accounted for. Some of these things that you’ll have to decide on are, shower tiles, shower knobs, curtains, and rods.
Typically, you’ll have the choice of either having a stand up shower or a bathtub with a shower head installed. Because pre-molded shower kits can sometimes look like a cookie-cutter kind of thing, some people opt to go with tiling their own shower stalls. This gives you the custom look and feel to your shower and bathroom overall. You can also you a one piece tile wall to install instead of laying down individual pieces of tile.
The shower flooring are the next major component that you should consider in the remodeling project. The shower flooring is something that only those who are using a stand alone shower stall should worry about. Many times people will want their showers to have the same flooring tiles as those found on the shower walls. Alternatively, you may want your shower tile to match the color and texture of the flooring in your bathroom.
Choosing The Perfect Shower Type For Your Bathroom Remodel
Shower Doors
The traditional bathroom shower has evolved. In addition to curtains and sliding doors, shower barriers include pivot, folding, frameless, and pivot doors. Finally, curved doors are designed for shower stalls that don’t have your average square or rectangular shape.
Shower Shapes
Speaking of shower doors, it’s impossible to choose one without understanding the shape and specificity of your shower. Pivot and bi-fold shower doors suit small spaces and accommodate square-shaped showers well.
Rectangular shower spaces have traditionally included the bathtub, but nowadays, homeowners are expanding the size of their standalone showers with rectangular spaces. A quadrant shower tucks perfectly away into the corner of your bathroom. D-shaped showers are similar to quadrant showers except they have two corners instead of one. Because of their curved sides, D-shaped showers, like quadrant showers, require curved shower doors.
Shower Building Blocks
Glass is still used with many new and traditional shower door models. Glass blocks are an alternative to standard glass. Glass blocks enclose shower units with beautiful icebergs of glass and are typically designed for the walk-in shower. Glass block enclosures accommodate small spaces with ease and grace.
There are two popular forms of pre-fabricated material for shower enclosures: acrylic and fiberglass.
Tips for Cleaning Bathroom Shower and Basin
Cleaning Bathroom Shower and Basin
If you, like me are a real hygiene freak you’ll only truly understand the total sanitation that you desire when you have a clean shower, after all a clean shower helps a clean body.
Just like any other part of the home it is important to clean the shower regularly, just because you clean yourself in it doesn’t mean that it cleans itself.
1. Scrubbing any seals and around the base of the faucets and overflow hole.
2. Now that you’ve done the shower walls it’s time to wash the shower floor. If you’re lucky enough to have a tiled shower floor then feel free to use a tile cleaner on that and then rinse down afterwards. It’s a good idea to dry the flooring down with some spare rags, this’ll help lift up any excess dirt that may have been trapped and it’ll buff the floor clean.
3. Cleaning the walls with a product specifically designed for the job is best. If you have any particularly stubborn stains then you can douse these with vinegar and sprinkle a little baking powder on-top, leave for 10-15 minutes and that stain will wash & wipe away easily. Don’t forget to wash the walls down with warm water afterwards.
4. As we’ve cleaned the shower we may as well clean the basin while we’re on the go! A good way to clean the sink is to use our water and vinegar mix to remove any stains and then flush the bowl out with hot water, cleaning the faucets the same way we cleaned the ones on the shower.
