ABOUT BATHROOM SHOWERS
There are three elements to Bathroom Showers: shower enclosures, shower pans, and shower faucets. Shower enclosures are usually made of glass. They may have a single side, for fitting within a recess; they may have two or three sides for fitting into a corner or against a wall. They may also be completely free-standing on all four sides. Some models a large enough to provide unobstructed entry, and dispense with a hinged door.
Shower pans or shower bases are fitted on the floor and incorporate a drain. They may be made of steel, acrylic, or composite materials. Shower faucets are available with a wide range of features and in a wide range of styles, traditional and contemporary. They are normally thermostatic, and may incorporate remote electronic controls.
The leading bathroom shower manufacturers listed below the panel of sponsored links have comprehensive websites, with information on all aspects of bathroom showers, including online catalogs of bathroom showers, designs and materials for bathroom showers, and care and maintenance of bathroom showers.
