The Reasons Behind Prefab Showers’ Popularity in South Africa
Prefabricated showers provide homeowners with a complete shower stall solution, as opposed to the classic but expensive and painstaking method of building a tiled shower from the ground on up. The “prefab” shower refers to the fabrication process of the shower stall being done off-site at a factory, and not at the property itself. When you buy a prefab shower, only the assembly needs to be done at your home.
Aside from transferring the majority of the mess to a location far away from your home, this method also means that you can have a fully installed and functioning shower in a matter of hours. This is in contrast to giving up the several days required to custom build a tiled shower, and with many builders, plumbers and workers running in and out of your home the entire time.
So let’s break it down. Here are only a few of the many reasons why it pays to opt for prefabricated showers, whether it’s for your home, holiday rental unit, Wendy house or low cost housing development:
- The showers are already done, you simply place the order and they are delivered to your property;
- It is a faster installation than a custom tile shower;
- These showers are lighter than all the tile that a custom shower requires, making them ideal for specific applications like Wendy houses with wooden floors; and
- These showers are fairly pliable, so when the floor underneath the shower settles, the shower will not crack, look ugly or, most importantly, leak.
