Any plumber will work extensively with bathroom plumbing, since this is the room of a house that has the highest concentration of pipes, drains, and fixtures. Along with the many bathroom plumbing repairs and drain cleaning that our professional plumbers perform, we also handle new shower installation in Glenview, IL<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may be in a situation where you\u2019ve got an older shower that\u2019s an eyesore or isn\u2019t working effectively anymore and you want to upgrade it. You might have someone in your home with mobility issues who would benefit from a different type of shower. Whatever the reason, you\u2019re looking to have a new shower installed. There are several choices of shower types to consider. We\u2019ll go over the most common shower types and look at their benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Standard walk-in shower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most frequent upgrades homeowners make to their showers is to switch from a shower-and-tub combination (often with a shower curtain rather than a shower door) to a walk-in shower. There are several different types of walk-in showers and we\u2019re going to look at a few of them, but in general a walk-in shower is a good option if you\u2019re not using the tub often and want a shower with easier access. This is often a good place to start when upgrading a bathroom for mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass enclosure shower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a walk-in shower that doesn\u2019t include a shower door. Instead, the shower area is walled off with a single pane of glass and the fixtures are at the far end of the shower area. These are among the best types of showers for mobility, since there\u2019s no door or frame to make entry into the shower difficult. They are also among the easiest to clean. However, they can have some water spillage into the rest of the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corner enclosure shower + bath<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have the space available in your bathroom and are planning to make significant changes to the whole room, putting in a corner enclosure shower with a bath next to it is a great luxury option. The shower itself has a simple design: one glass panel, one glass door, and two corner walls. Even if you don\u2019t have a bathtub, the corner enclosure shower is a simple but elegant design that saves floor space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curved enclosure shower<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have a small bathroom and want to save some space, this is a good choice. These showers go in the corner of the bathroom and have a curved sliding door that won\u2019t intrude into the rest of the space. The curve also makes them a better use of space than square corner showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shower and tub combination<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You may already have a walk-in shower but are looking to shift to the tub-and-shower combination. There are several stylish options for this type\u2014you don\u2019t have to go the old style with a simple shower curtain. They\u2019re good space-savers and work well for homes with small children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
