Introduction
Choosing the right shower base is one of the most important decisions when planning a bathroom remodel.
A shower base that is too small can make the shower feel cramped, while an oversized base may not fit properly within your available space.
Before purchasing, consider:
- Bathroom dimensions
- Shower location
- User comfort
- Door compatibility
- Drain position
