There are many options to consider when choosing a shower base. Shower bases are designed for both functionality as well as appearance. If you have small children or elderly people in your home, then choosing a shower base that offers some sort of slip resistance is ideal. Each manufacturer offers different styles, shapes and options for shower bases.
A Swanstone shower base can be mix and matched with other Swanstone shower and bath systems. All shower bases feature slip resistant texture on the floor. They are also specially designed to not mold or mildew over time. If you are looking for a corner shower to add to your new or remodeled bathroom, try a neo angle shower base. These are perfect for any standard corner and feature five sides. Another alternative is the fiberglass shower base.
These are manufactured as one seamless unit to make them easy to clean. This type of shower base is also relatively inexpensive compared to other bases. Kohler shower bases also come pre- manufactured in fiberglass. When it comes to choosing a custom shower base, you want to consider personal needs. If you have small children or elderly, you may want to consider having a shower base designed with a lower step to avoid tripping hazards.
Another factor when choosing our custom shower base is the shape and size you would like for a shower. For a true custom shower there is the tile shower base. A tile shower base allows for a shower to be as big or small as you prefer. For the do-it-yourself homeowner, this is the best option.
Choosing a tile shower base also gives the benefit of being able to place the drain wherever you like. In the many pre-manufactured shower bases such as a Corian shower base, the drain is already installed. Pre-manufactured shower bases are also ideal for the do-it-yourself homeowner. With all the components already in place, shower base installation is a breeze.
While functionality and installation are important factors in determining a shower base, you also want to consider what would be ideal to fit the style of your bathroom. Today, options for showers include glass door and glass brick options. Adding glass bricks to your custom shower base allows for even more detail and design to be created. The shower of your dreams is easily within reach no matter what type of shower base you choose.
