There’s a lot to think about when you’re building your new home, not the least of which is the bathroom spaces. Not only do they need to be functional, but you also want the space to reflect your personal style and offer a comfortable experience. The shower plays a big role in this, so our team wanted to go over a few of the essential things to consider when you’re planning out your shower installation.

Essential Considerations for the Shower Installation at Your New-Build Home

  1. Size & Layout — Obviously, the size and layout of your bathroom will have a big impact on your shower options. The standard shower size is 3×3 feet, but you may want to consider a larger walk-in shower for a more spacious feel. Work with your plumber to consider the layout of your bathroom and ensure your choice of shower complements the overall design while still leaving plenty of space for easy movement.
  1. Water Pressure & Flow Rate — Good water pressure is key to having a great shower experience. Before the shower installation, talk with your plumber to ensure the plumbing system is capable of providing the right water pressure and flow rate for whatever shower setup you have in mind.
  1. Shower Style & Materials — You have a lot of options to consider, from classic tub-shower combos to modern walk-ins. Think about the materials you want for the walls, floors, and doors for your shower; ceramic tile, natural stone, and glass panels are all popular choices.
