Focusing on the shower screen, UK based HowTo.TV are here to show

you everything you ever wanted to know about choosing a new shower and giving your

bathroom a smart new look.

The actual plumbing and electrical work involved is a job that requires a degree of

expertise, and one that you’ll want professional help with.

In this episode, Gavin shows us how to choose the right shower enclosure. Shower

cubicles come in many different shapes, sizes and designs, made to fit all the

various shower trays on the market, with a range of sliding, hinged and bi-fold

doors. A few quick words of advice to get you started. In keeping with all products

delivered as a flat pack, you must read the manufacturers instructions very carefully

before starting, and ensure you have all the required parts and tools to complete the

job. And it’s worth doing all this outside the bathroom, especially if you’ve got a

small area to work in. As with all DIY tasks, safety is paramount, so make sure that

the glass used is toughened safety glass. You want a water tight fit, with no leaks,

so make sure that there is full adjustment on each wall post for out of true walls,

and that the hinged door and fixed panel interlock when closed to give a proper water

barrier and good water seal.
