Previously, they were made of rubber and were quite bulky. Moreover, there were greater chances of getting damaged easily, and repairing them was out of question.
The hosepipes of today, of PVC (Poly Vinyl Chloride), have widespread applications all over the globe. They are of virgin grade PVC. Different types of pipes such as garden pipes, PVC flexible pipes, flexible tubing, sanitary pipes, and nylon pipes are made from these.
When it comes to hoses, welding hoses, car washing hoses, water hoses, pneumatic hoses and sanitary connection hoses are made from PVC. People living in apartments face the problem of fitting a shower in their bathrooms as the space in the bathroom is very small and the other fittings and fixtures take up space, leaving absolutely no space for the shower.
In such cases, shower hoses are the ideal solution.
If you want to create some additional space in the bathroom, the first thing is to remove the bathtub from the bathroom. Many old houses have huge bathtubs, leaving absolutely no room in the bathroom. Hence, you need to replace your bathtub with a fancy shower enclosure. This is the only option available to you.
It has been established that properties with no bathtubs have less property value and many potential buyers want a bathtub. If your bathroom has enough ceiling height then the best way is to fit a showerhead over the bathtub. If the space available is too small, you could look out for shower heads with flexible hoses that can be fitted to the bathtub faucet.
Shower hoses are becoming increasingly popular in most urban homes, thanks to space constraints. You could have a wonderful and rejuvenating bath with these shower hoses. They are available in different materials like rubber, vinyl and PVC. PVC hoses are sought after by many clients. The water flow from these hoses is uninterrupted and the experience is similar to that you get when taking a bath in your bathtub.
The next best idea is to do away with the shower enclosure and bathtub. Just make your bathroom into a shower. For this you would need to fit tiles on the floors and the walls, which might be an expensive proposition, but it is worth the trouble. Installing a floor drain would be essential. If you have a sink, mirror and toilet within the bathroom, you would have to place a glass partition and place these fixtures there.
You may have to hire the services of a professional if you want to remodel your bathroom. It is advised that you do this so that the entire look of the bathroom is just the way you want it to be. Last but not least, check with friends and relatives that have recently brought about renovations and redecorations to their bathroom. Also check for the fixtures and fittings they have used in their bathroom.
