If you’re planning a full bathroom renovation, the shower is a central part of that project.
Plumbing pipes might need to be moved toaccommodate showerheads and sprays.
Finally, the new walls will need to be tiled or clad in a waterproof surface.
Remember: Hinged shower doors must open outward and require 30 inches of clearance.
But if you want a custom look, you’ll want to build a walk-in shower from scratch.
Opting for an open doorway?
double-check the shower walls, base, and showerhead layout are designed to contain spraying water.
Contemplate Functional Forms
Custom-built walk-in showers can take on any shape that your space and budget allow.
How about a built-in bench or integrated ledge?
Remember to include toiletry niches, lighting, and ventilation in your shower plans.
Opt for shower controls and showerheads that match other metal finishes in your bathroom.
Mount showerheads 69-72 inches above the shower floor.
Keep in mind that sprays from traditional showerheads extend as much as 4 feet.
Devise a jazzy tile design that raises shower walls to fine-art status.
