Shower surrounds are a type of panel used around your shower walls. These may be formed with many materials, colors and models. Shower surrounds not only do you have bathroom glamour, they protect the walls from humidity. While there is no undermount bath sink to keep water off the walls, mold can grow in these warm areas —not ideal for your home or health.
You can DIY install a shower surround if you follow the steps accordingly. You will need to measure the size of your shower area for starters. Essentially, you will be forced to measure the space that surround makes way in height and width with a tape measure. Once you have the appropriate measurements, you will cut the panels to those sizes.
Then, you need to drill holes in the panels. When you insert screws, this is where they will come through. These screws will keep the panels in place to ensure they do not move and fall. Be very sure to follow the instructions that accompany your undermount lavatory sink. This will aid in installing it properly and safely. But if you have doubts carrying it out, use a friend or professional to do so.
The shower surround needs to match your bathroom, which means you need to consider the surround (although there somehow has to be a terrible pun in here). These include all of the following popular materials that you can choose from:
Tile: Well, tile is so traditional that I believe many would recycle through it. This makes it exceedingly versatile, allowing for a multitude of different applications. On top of that tile could contribute value to your home and we all know that is a good thing.
While there are lots of options on the market for beautiful but affordable shower surrounds, look no further than these economical but tough-upgraded designs. Acrylic and fiberglass makes a great choice as they are light in weight and easy to set up. After that, they also come in a selection of shades and designs to make sure you find one that fits right into your shower room.
Option number two is to tile your shower surround. If you are on a budget, though, you can use fewer tiles. You may put tiles over only a small area or use them places that will be more visible, instead of covering the whole wall with tiles. This ensures you get the whole beauty of floor tiles without burning a hole on your pocket.
