Are you planning to remodel your shower in Costa Mesa?
If so, you’ll want to ensure you get the essentials right to avoid headaches. Your choices will significantly impact how happy you are with your shower in the future.
But let’s be honest - shower remodeling can be overwhelming. You have to make countless decisions, and while it’s easy to focus on the features you’ll see, what about the ones you won’t?
Thankfully, there’s a secret to nailing any shower remodel - and that secret is breaking it down into its core components. Understanding how these features work together will help make planning more manageable and less stressful.
Your shower isn’t just the place you go to stay clean. It’s where you go to decompress, clear your mind, or simply enjoy some quality ‘you’ time.
That’s why it isn’t just about getting one that works. It’s about elevating those precious moments you get to yourself.
Do you want dual showerheads that provide full-body coverage and customizable water pressure? Or maybe you’d like to know how soothing warm raindrops can feel. If so, a rainfall showerhead’s got your name all over it.
Conversely, a handheld showerhead is perfect for reaching those hard-to-reach places if you’d like more control. As a bonus, it's a real game-changer for bathing pets.
Walk-in showers are becoming a staple in modern homes, and it’s not hard to see why. Thanks to their sleek, minimalist design, they can drastically transform the look of any bathroom. But beyond how they look, they’re also incredibly practical.
They’re easier to maintain than traditional showers, especially since many are designed without doors or curtains. This means you’ll never have to fuss over a shower curtain again.
Another key bonus is their accessibility. This is particularly useful if you need to plan for less mobile family members.
Your choice of shower doors depends on how much space you have.
If you don’t have the space for traditional sliding or hinged options, you can also choose bi-fold doors requiring less clearance.
Another thing to consider is whether your shower doors should be frameless. A frameless door does not have a metal liner running along it. Without that metal frame, your shower has an easier time ventilating, making it much harder for mildew to form.
Of course, you could avoid that hassle entirely with a doorless shower. They’re easier to step in and out of, have fewer surfaces to clean, and naturally widen the space, allowing for plenty of ventilation.
When you think about a shower remodel, the walls are probably the first thing that comes to mind. Colors and textures set the vibe for the space you want.
But if you invest in remodeling, the materials you use will affect the longevity of your remodel.
At Shugarman’s Bath, we take it further with our premium BP-Cor2, an exclusive material whose durability is the foundation of our life-long guarantee. As if that weren’t enough, it also self-disinfects, keeping mold and mildew at bay so your bathroom stays healthier.
We also offer premium BP-Cor2 in various beautiful styles, which will add to a finished product you’ll be proud of for years to come.
Smart storage is always a plus for keeping things organized and functional, no matter how big or small your shower is. Built-in niches and shelves let you keep everything you need within reach while ditching those bulky caddies and racks that take up space.
For smaller showers, these clever storage solutions make the most of every inch, so you won’t feel cramped. In larger showers, they add convenience and a touch of style, blending right into the design.
At Shugarman’s Bath, we focus on storage that fits your needs and maximizes your space. Whether you choose recessed shelves or custom layouts, you’ll have everything you need, exactly where you need it, without sacrificing the clean look of your shower.
Regardless of your ultimate goals, it’s important to discuss these features before moving forward with your contractor. The sooner you nail down these details, the better your chances of having a smooth and successful installation.
But at Shugarman’s Bath, we don’t just cover the essentials. Our down-to-the-studs approach means you’ll never have to worry about issues popping up once we’re gone. We’ll repair any underlying damage and rebuild the foundation so you can be confident in your shower for the rest of your life.
