Buying Guide: Key Purchase Considerations
What size fits my shower space?
Measure the available width and depth, accounting for door jogs, nooks, and surrounding tile. Look for bases that match your alcove dimensions or provide an option to trim to fit.
Where will the drain be located?
Center drains work well for symmetric layouts and three-wall configurations. Left- or variations may suit specific plumbing or tile designs. Ensure drain placement aligns with your existing plumbing.
Which features affect safety and maintenance?
- Non-slip surface texture improves safety in wet showers.
- Low profile and threshold height ease entry and reduce tripping hazards.
- Non-porous acrylic or composite surfaces simplify cleaning and resist staining.
Do I need professional installation?
Many bases require professional installation for proper waterproofing, framing, and drain connections. Consider your skill level and the project scope before choosing a model.
How important is compatibility with current plumbing?
Check drain size, assembly type, and whether the base includes a drain kit. Some bases require specific drain configurations or separate purchases.
