Shower Pan Installation Choices For A Modern BathroomPopular Standard Sizes of Shower Pans: 32" X 32", 36" X 36", 36" X 42", 42" X 42", 34" X 48", 32" X 60", 42" X 48"Shower installation is one of those jobs around the home that has to be completed to professional standards. The result of failing to meet those standards can result in leaking water because the shower pan, door or enclosure is not waterproof; it can also lead to puddles on the shower floor if the base is not tiled on sufficient slope to drain away the water quickly; and of course leakages can lead to puddles of water on the tiled bathroom floor. Installation of a shower pan should not be taken lightly; it should be done by a professional who has a lot of successful experience, or at least should be done with professional supervision. Installing a shower pan can be done by someone who is a DIY enthusiast so long as they have the right instructions and follow them to the letter. However this is not a job an average person would want to attempt due to the potential damage to your bathroom and tiles that leaking water can cause. There are many shower bases you can buy from a local hardware store or online, and then have an experienced professional install them for you. If you are lucky the hardware store or bathroom showroom will install the shower pan for you under guarantee; or alternatively recommend someone they know had done a good job with the installation of their shower pans before. While it is always best to find a shower pan locally it is possible to find and buy one online. Lasco Bathware has a large selection of shower pans or bases, as well as providing shower doors. Catering for people creating custom shower surrounds with ceramic tile or stone walls, for example, Lasco supply shower bases that are high sheen and scratch resistant.
