When you are remodeling a home or on some occasions building a new home, there are different things that you should consider when buying different components for each room. More specifically, when working in a bathroom, there are certain things that will influence which type of toilet, shower, or tub/shower combination you will purchase. Factors such as the space available in the bathroom, the plumbing pipe that have been installed, and how tall the ceiling in the bathroom is will influence the things you buy.
I have come across many different situations that required getting a specific type of toilet, as one example. The job I was doing had a design in the bathroom where the counter was installed to be above the toilet. This meant that I had to make sure the toilet that purchased to replace the old one was the correct height so it could fit under the counter and still be accessible. More common fixes have to do with tubes and showers when customers decide to remodel.
There are many one-piece tub/shower combinations and shower only units on the market and these types of units take less time to install. The major problem comes when the unit is too large to fit in tight spaces or to go through the door of the bathroom. Trying to get a one-piece unit into a small door or a tight space (such as in a basement apartment) can result in frustration that may also cause you to damage the unit when trying to get around different obstacles. This is where a two or three piece unit comes in handy.
Since the unit is separated into different pieces, it makes it easier to get it into and out of bathrooms and other tricky areas. A shower unit has a separate base and then a wall unit. When installing a tub/shower, the tub can be purchased and the walls will also be a separate unit. Wall units usually come in two or three different pieces which means they can be stacked on top of each other in their box. This makes it easier to get the unit into the bathroom it needs to go because the walls aren’t in a fixed position as they would be in a one-piece unit.
In addition, many wall units (for shower only or tub/showers) come with additional shelves that wouldn’t be found in a one-piece unit. This provides more places for you to put your shower essentials and makes it more functional for you. The walls also come as solid pieces so you can line up your shower trim so that all you need to do is cut out the area where it will be installed. There are different types of material available on the market as well, many of which are much stronger than the standard fiberglass that are found in one-piece units. If you need a need a new shower and are working with limited space, a two or three piece unit is the choice for you! Visit: https://www.plumbersstock.com/category/329/
