Shower Base
Your shower base is underneath your shower, and if it was causing you any problems in the past you probably have noticed things like water backing up out of the drain as you shower, and rising up towards your ankles! The shower base is the concrete bed that you don’t see that is supposed to help your shower water run efficiently towards the drain.
When we do the initial free estimate with homeowners for a shower remodel cost in Salem, we always ask about whether or not they’ve been having any of these kinds of issues. This is because there’s a good chance that there’s a problem with your concrete shower base, and there’s no need to cover up that base with a new shower pan and still be dealing with the same problems after your bathroom renovation is complete.
Shower Pans
The shower pan will come in all different types of shapes and sizes, depending on whether or not you have a shower tub design or a standalone shower. This is the item that’s all in one piece that you stand on while you’re showering, and there are a lot of different colors and designs that you could choose from to coordinate it with the rest of the items in your overall bathroom layout.
Shower Tile
One of the most requested types of shower tile by homeowners getting a shower remodel in Salem is mosaic tile. These are the smaller tiles that you’ll notice many times within a shower along the walls and floor, and they aren’t any larger than 2×2 in size.
Mosaic tile seemingly never goes out of style, especially when installed in a shower. It’s used on the shower floor a lot because of the fact that the small size of it gives the floor traction to prevent slipping. There are so many different styles of it, and if you want to make a statement with your shower remodel then they are definitely the way to go.
There are lots of variations when it comes to mosaic tile and the individual patterns of it. Still, as experienced bathroom remodeling contractors, we know that the very definition of mosaic is when there is an inset pattern, and there’s definitely a shape and color out there that will fit your taste.
For example, you could go with a unique penny-round design of mosaic tile, or maybe an exclusive mini-brick pattern design in your shower remodel. There are also lots of different shades of lovely herringbone mosaic tile (which is when we would set your shower tiles in a v-shaped pattern along the walls and/or floor), or the closely related chevron mosaic tile. One of the styles that we’ve been receiving kind of regularly from folks looking for a shower remodel in Salem are the attractive basket weave mosaic tile patterns.
There’s also beautifully reflective mosaic glass tile that we can use in developing the look of your shower, and mosaic marble tile is also trendy from time to time (although you have to clean it weekly with marble cleaner, which we will brief you on during your free estimate session with us before we do the work on your shower).
Still, one of the most popular types that we’ve gotten requests to install over the years from the outdoor-loving folks of Salem, Oregon are natural stone slate tiles for a shower remodel. Rock tile will always be slip-resistant, especially in the small mosaic tile form. There are lots of different types of rock tile (such as limestone tile or granite tile) and they are one of the most beautiful choices that you could ever decide on for your shower.
When you do slate tile or any type of stone tile, it has to be sealed correctly in order to get the most out of it. We’ll go over all of those maintenance details with you when we do our initial free estimate and start planning your bathroom renovation.
And, you’ll be surprised to find out that whatever type of tile you choose, there’s always an outlet for these items that will keep your shower remodel cost in Salem very affordable!
Shower Doors & Glass
The thing that will make your shower remodel stand out the most (probably just as much as the kind of shower tile that you choose) is your choice of shower doors and glass. Whether you want clear glass or want it fogged for privacy, the shower door that you choose will play a big part in making your shower renovation unique. There are some innovative ones out there, such as curved glass shower doors, bi-fold shower doors, and frameless shower doors.
Shower Seating & Benches
Have you ever been shaving your legs in the shower and wish you had something to kick them up on to make the job easier? Well, shower seating and benches may be just what you need! They don’t greatly increase your total cost to remodel a shower, and they’re great for setting things down (like a bottle of shampoo or body wash) instead of just dropping them on the floor as you shower.
Shower Support Rails
Although these are mostly looked at as safety features for a shower, there are some attractive ones that will match great with the hinges, shower knobs and other appliances in and around your shower. You’ll be happy you installed them, especially if there’s an elderly person in the household, or when you’re showering and just simply have to balance yourself.
Shower Appliances
The shower’s appliances are the knobs, nozzle, shower head, and other small things in the shower that are sometimes overlooked when folks who are planning a shower remodel are initially thinking about it. The most important thing to remember about your shower appliances is that you want to coordinate the style of them with the design of the rest of the bathroom remodel.
