subject: Know More About Shower Cubicles [print this page] After a hot tiring day, you come back home driving through the rushing traffic, desperate for a long dip in warm soothing tub of water. But then, where is the time for a busy bee like you to take a long dip?? So, take a shower. A quick but equally soothing shower. When you have to let go of a warm nice bath in a luxury bath tub, and is having to take a shower instead, why not do it in style? A shower cubicle is a luxury that every common man should allow himself.
A shower enclosure comes in different shapes, colors, and also in different frames. The frames are more often made of steel or aluminum, and the glass of fiber or acrylic etc. The framed enclosures are made of thin glass supported by frames. They can be easily installed into any bathroom, but have to be supported by strong materials, as the thin glass is easy breakable.
Frameless shower cubicles are made of thick glass, and do not have to be supported by frames. These are more stylish than framed cubicles, but more expensive. You can also opt for a semi- framed cubicle which is framed but for the top and bottom. Tiled enclosures are another choice you have in the shower market. They are colorful, chic and reasonably priced. While using tiled shower cubicles, you have to maintain it well, as it is installed in your bathroom by using grout which encourages the growth of mold and other fungi.
Your shower cubicle has to be an added advantage to your bathroom. Therefore, you have to be very careful while choosing one from the market. One of the main things that should be carefully thought about is the size. It has to be big enough for the healthiest person in your family to move around, but small enough to fit inside your bathroom, without giving a crowded appearance to the bathroom. It has to be tall enough for the tallest person in your household to be comfortable in, but should not cut through your roof.
Next important factors are quality and price. Once you have decided to purchase a particular shower cubicle, be careful to make sure that it is a good and qualitative investment. If the shower you bought for a sufficient amount of money collapses one fine morning, good money will be wasted. It would be advisable to fix a deal in which the supplementary parts like a shower tray and shower pans are also included.
The installation process should also be given careful consideration. The plumbing and the drainage are jobs that should be well-taken care of as they can cause problems if not done properly. Once you have the installation done, the maintenance is also important.
