The Pros and Cons of Prefab vs. Custom-Tiled Showers

If you are planning to remodel your Bathroom a new shower/tub is mostly considered as the first choice. Are you confused about installing a prefabricated shower stall or building a custom ceramic Tile shower?

Prefabricated shower stall units are fiberglass or acrylic kits that are carried to your home in one or several pieces. You can install it by hiring a professional crew or by a DIYer. There are a variety of shower kits available like shower pan and two or three with solid panel although more of them are available in one-piece shells in which shower base or bathtub is integrated with the walls. You must decide between a one-piece or multi-piece unit whether you can get one-piece unit through the doors of your Home.

Wall kits can be used as an alternative to a full bath/shower kit that can be an excellent option if your bathtub is in good condition and doesn't require replacement. A wall kit provides only the alcove with the panel that completes the shower closure. Wall kits are now found more stylish and often expensive. If you want to experience a faux tile look the panel can be modeled with simulated grout lines.

Custom-built Tile showers and Hybrid - As compare to prefabricated shower kits, you can also consider custom-built ceramic tile showers. These tiles are built on-site, constructed from scratch by carpenters and tiers. They are constructed by the alcove, waling it in with the cement board pane such as wonder boards or Duroc. Custom tile showers are considerably more expensive and exude in a way that few prefabricated shower units can approach.
