Brand New Tips On: What Not To Do When Building A Shower

Oct. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Times of economic hardships often lead to an increased focus on homes and opportunities to increase their value. A low-cost and low expenditure way to do that, is refurbishing the bathroom. It is however necessary to take certain things into consideration.

Real estate value can be increased by a fair bit, and usually much more than the initial investment, by refurbishing  a bathroom. If that is of minor importance, it should not be forgotten that such an undertaking can also increase one's well-being when using the bathroom. Rarely anything is as relaxing as a warm, long shower after a stressful day.

It is however easy to make costly and unnecessary mistakes. Refurbishing a bathroom is nothing that should be done without a plan and without any know-how. This press release offers an overview of the most common mistakes and helps avoiding them.

Saving Money At The Wrong Spots
At the first glance, hiring a plumber might appear costly, but it is the wrong place to save money. A well-reputated plumber might charge a little bit more initially, but there will not be any hidden costs coming along. There will not be discussions about the quality of the plumber's work, and it will not be necessary to be an expert to find out if the plumber has done his work properly or not. In short. Money should not be saved here.

Shower Curtain or Shower Door - Picking The Wrong One
It is a general recommendation to use shower curtains for showering in a bathtub and to use shower doors if a separate shower cabin or shower stall is available. Shower doors in combination with a bathtub can restrict flexibility and make bathing uncomfortable because the arms cannot be rested on the edges of the bathtub any more. Shower Curtains however are great if the flexibility that a bathtub offers should be maintained. For shower stalls on the contrary, shower doors are the more viable option. They are 100% watertight and allow showering without paying attention to the direction of the jet of water.

Doing Too Much Without Professional Help
As mentioned above, nearly everyone is advised to rely on professional help when in doubt. Mistakes that are made can easily cost multiple thousands of dollars. From our experience as a company, it is rarely ever worth doing something on one's own without any know-how. Water damage can ruin a whole house and make it practically worthless. That is what should be taken into consideration when thinking about "high" costs of a plumber.

Choosing A Cheap Shower Head
Not only are cheap shower heads often of poor quality and will break quickly, they are also likely to be a perfect way to waste a vast amount of money in the long run and greatly reduce the comfort of a shower. Cheap shower heads often lack functionality and consume up to three times as much water as properly designed ones, while offering no more, and often even significantly less comfort for your shower. An increased demand for water does not only increase the water bill, but also the electricity bill, because that is how water usually is heated.
