You’ve got tired of your dull, wet bathroom and its leaking faucets? And you’ve heard a lot about shower kits and stalls, but don’t know what is what? Here is a short guide on the issue:
What is a Shower kit?
A shower kit is a set of details you need to have a shower, that is, the shower floor, the stall, and the enclosure. There are all-in-one kits that contain shower doors, curtain and towel holders, shower faucets and other hardware to make the shower most comfortable and easy to use.
I used this variety, because it took us only one evening to install the shower. Now these kits are made of easy care materials, often with acrylic finish (you may find ceramics, if you prefer traditional design). The more durable materials are acrylic-fiberglass combination or pure fiberglass. These alternatives won’t wear so fast as all-acrylic kits.
How to choose a shower kit?
Well, there are a few main kinds of shower kits that may greatly vary in design:
Corner kits – rectangular kits, convenient in small bathrooms, the cheapest and most popular and easy to fix. Besides, corner shower kits are a good solution to bathrooms where an extra shower stall is needed.
Round shower kits have the shape of a slice of a pie – two walls forming a corner, and a round enclosure where the door is placed. Again, this is a variety of a corner shower kit, used mostly in miniature bathrooms.
Neo-angle shower kits are of a five-angled shape (like a diamond). These look stylish and modern, though they usually occupy more area than the previous kinds of kits.
Shower stalls
These are kits containing walls, and a roof , so that the water can flow and splash within the enclosure. Ah, and there is a door, a sliding one, to enter the stall and leave it easily. In the shower stall you can have not only an ordinary shower, but enjoy a massage.

There is a special panel on the stall’s wall and/or ceiling on which a number of nozzles are situated. Some stalls are constructed so that you adjust the flow of water from each nozzle to your needs: for instance, you make the stream stronger in the upper nozzles to massage your shoulders and a gentle flow pampers your back. The height and the amount of nozzles, as well as the size and the price of stalls differ greatly in various models.
Well, countless producers offer shower stalls and kits to please any taste, even the most sophisticated. You have only to have courage to make your bathroom a luxurious and rejuvenating place.
