Shower Bases
Picking the right Shower Base for Australian Homeowners
Are you on the hunt for the perfect shower base to complete your bathroom renovation or build? The shower base is a foundational element of bathroom that combines function and style. In Australia, where quality and durability are as important as design, knowing what to look for in a shower base is crucial. Here's some tips from us on some things to consider when selecting the ideal Shower base for you new bathroom or build.
Material Choices for Longevity and Style
When it comes to materials, shower bases come in a variety of options such as:
- Acrylic Shower Bases
- Fiberglass Shower Bases
- Stone Resins and Composites
- Tile Tray Shower Bases
Acrylic and fiberglass are popular due to their lightweight nature and ease of installation. However, for those seeking a more luxurious finish, stone resins and stone composites like those found in the Domus Living Shower Bases can provide an elevated aesthetic. Evaluate material options based on their durability, maintenance levels, and how they blend with your bathroom’s look.
Size and Shape to Fit Your Space
Measure your bathroom area carefully to pick a shower base that fits just right. Whether you have a compact space that calls for a corner shower base option like the Decina Luna, or a more generous area that can accommodate rectangular or square bases, precise measurements are key. Every bathroom layout is unique; select a shape that maximizes space without sacrificing functionality.
Drain Location Compatibility
Before falling in love with a particular shower base, ensure the drain location aligns with your plumbing. Centred, off-centre, or corner drains each have their distinctive installation requirements. Double-check your existing plumbing layout or speak to a professional to avoid unexpected renovation hurdles.
Efficient Drainage Types
Traditional round drains typically suit most installations, while linear drains offer a modern touch with superior water evacuation efficiency. Select a drain that not only performs well but also matches the overall design of your shower base.
The Right Installation Method
Some shower bases are designed for floor mounting, others may require a recessed installation or even a raised platform. Consider your bathroom’s structural capacity and installation preferences. It’s often worth seeking expert advice to determine the best method for your home. Come into any Burdens Bathrooms location for free personalised help with your shower base needs.
Customization for Personal Touch
Not all shower spaces are created equal, nor are homeowner’s preferences. From tile flanges and different colours and shapes, customisable features ensure your shower base meets all your specific needs and tastes.
Reputable Brands with Strong Warranties
Finally, the brand and warranty of your shower base are indications of quality and durability.
