Bathroom Remodeling Company in Avon & Farmington CT

Trying to transform your home? A common way to start is with a bathroom remodel. Your bathroom is a key part of your home and changing its appearance or function can greatly improve the comfort. If you want to change the surroundings or install new features, shower stalls, or bathtub enclosures, the bathroom remodel professionals at First Choice Bathroom Remodeling can help!

What Is a Shower Enclosure?

A shower enclosure is a walled-off area that only contains a shower. It's generally built in a corner or along the edge of the bathroom to make use of the existing walls. Shower enclosures were once attached to the bathtub and were rather plain, but they are no longer.



They're made of a thick glass that can be clear, opaque, or etched, and are tempered to withstand a range of temperatures. Their simple two or three walls have evolved to be elegant, accommodating, and part of the overall aesthetic of a modern bathroom. 

What Are the Advantages of Choosing an Enclosure?

Glass shower enclosures don't require a lot of maintenance. They're also easy to clean. Mildew and mold are unlikely to build up on the surface. However, it would help if you used a spray-on, protective cleaner on the glass before first using the shower, and periodically after that to prevent hard water stains and soap accumulation. Other advantages include:

Customizes your shower enclosure design to match the rest of your bathroom

Adds value to your home

Gives your bathroom a more spacious appearance

Keeps water fully contained

How To Install an Enclosure 

The first thing First Choice Bathroom Remodeling will do is help you select the right type of shower enclosure for your bathroom. Once that's done, when we arrive with the materials, we'll shut off your home's water before beginning the installation. Next, we'll remove your existing shower stall if applicable. If there isn't one, we'll run new plumbing to this area.



After this, we'll prepare the area for the new enclosure. Prep will include installing backer board behind the new tile, caulking and sealing where needed (waterproofing), and adding the proper type of drain in the floor. Once we add your new fixtures, we'll turn the water back on. Next, we'll drill holes to anchor the enclosure to the walls, and we'll install the glass sides and door. We'll also perform the final caulking and sealing.
