One of the best additions you can add to a small bathroom is a corner shower. With the rise of do it yourself homeowners trying to save money by taking on projects themselves, its no wonder that home improvement stores and bathroom supply distributors are starting to carry a wider selection of corner shower kits. It is not only a great way to save money, but also a way to add an addition to your home that you can take pride in for years to come.
What Is a Corner Shower Kit?
A corner shower kit is essentially a prefabricated set of parts designed to include everything you need to install your own corner shower. The cost of a corner shower kit is significantly less than that of having one installed, primarily because you are required to do all the labor yourself. Manufacturing costs are also kept own by the quantity of kits produced in standard sizes in each batch. Because of the large scales the kits are produced in, this also means they come in a limited selection of shapes and sizes. While you may save money on the overall cost of the corner shower kit, you are sacrificing the ability to make certain custom style selections.
What Is Included In a Corner Shower Kit?
Corner shower kits come in typically standard packing and include all the major components needed to assemble a fully functioning unit.
Shower Base
The overall shape of the corner unit is determined by the corner shower base or tray. This is the base piece of the shower unit which rests on the floor of the bathroom and connects to the shower drain.
Shower Stall
The kit will also include the shower stall. This is the portion of the corner shower that sits flush against the bathroom walls the shower attaches to. The stalls are pre-molded and pre-cut to include holes for the shower head and water control levers or knobs.
Shower Enclosure
The third part included with the corner kit is the shower enclosure. Prefabricated shower kits typically include acrylic or plastic shower enclosures framed with aluminum in order to provide durability while also keeping costs low. The shower door will be included as part of the enclosure and is usually a basic sliding door or pivot door.
