Deciding Between a Bath or Shower Enclosure

One thing to think about is whether to install a bath or shower enclosure. When it comes to this decision, you will have to focus firstly on the amount of space you have, and what will be required by either choice.

For smaller bathrooms, you might want to go with a shower enclosure instead of the bath that will take up more room. You can find a great shower that will fit in just about any size bathroom that can complement the space without taking too much of it up. A bath tub will require more room, and this can be something your bathroom just can't give up. But, if you have the room for a bath and you still want a shower, you can always put both in.

One of the biggest factors in determining between a bath and shower is your own personal preferences. If you are one of those people that just can't get through a week without taking at least one hot bath, then you will have to figure out how to make it work. In this case, you can purchase walk in baths or corner stall baths that should give you the right amount of space. But if taking a bath isn't a high point in your life and all you really need is a shower, then you can have a shower enclosure designed specifically for your own bathroom.

If you have the space, you can have both put in, or place the tub in and have the shower enclosure built in around it so that you can take a bath or shower and still have plenty of space in your bathroom for anything else you might need. You will have to figure out where the plumbing is going to go, including the drain and the pipes that bring water to your bath or shower.

Summary

Deciding on whether to install a bath or a shower enclosure depends on the amount of space you have available and your personal bathing preferences.
