Kudos Showers and Matki Showers are two of the big names in the world of walk-in showers; shower enclosures, shower doors, bath screens, shower mixers and shower trays.

Regardless of the brand you choose, when installing a walk-in shower the considerations are the same. There should be easy accessibility to the water supply, for instance.

Before the installation of the walk-in shower can begin, all the old decorations on the walls should be cleared off and the wall returned to good condition, even if it means plastering or rendering it. You should also ensure that the floor has the strength to handle the extra weight. If needs be the floor should be reinforced. Additionally all electrical wiring in the floor or the wall should be removed before the installation starts.

The next step involves actually installing the walk-in shower. For the job to be effectively done, more than one pairs of hands are required.  If you can afford it always use an experienced installer as the finished job will look that much better.

It is important to read the manufacturers instructions that come with the walk-in shower before you have removed the shower cubicle from its packaging. The instructions should be easy to follow and implement.

After having installed the walk-in shower, bear in mind that water will not spare any porous material it comes into contact with. If there is a hole somewhere water will enlarge it gradually. The same water can lead to the formation of mildew and mould in the area of the shower.  It is essential that the plumbing and drainage work is completed to a high standard.
