Showers For Your New Bathroom

From time immemorial, people always attach personal hygiene to taking showers or baths. From taking baths in ponds, lakes, rivers and in the open, the place of having a shower has shifted to bathrooms with high-tech gadgets fitted. Showering cleans up the body and refreshes the mind.

Showers can be fitted in anywhere of your existing bathrooms. They can even be fitted in a bedroom corner, if proper care is given to its designing and precautions like installing a shower screen or curtain are taken against running water flooding the floor.

There are many types showers sold in the market and internet stores. Most homes sport a simple integrated shower and mixer tap shower inside the existing bath. Electric showers, some with water heater, pump and thermostat, both in an open bath or separate cubicle are also becoming common. Some showers have a separate mixer valve, supplied with hot and cold water at the same time and are available with either a manual or thermostatic temperature control. This kind of shower can also be installed over a bath or in a separate shower cubicle and a separate pump to provide a high water pressure is also available at a price.

The shower faucet heads must be placed in such a manner so that they never come into contact with the water in the bath below.

Before installing a shower, the positions of the shower head, their controls and pipe work involved have to be planned properly so as to avoid future inconvenience. The drainage system to remove the waste water also needs to be designed well. Positions of the electric wire route and shower switches will have to be pre-planned if an instantaneous or electric shower is being installed.
