Selecting the components of a shower

Various components are required for the installation of a shower enclosure or a masonry shower. A shower tray is the best choice in most cases, as it is not only practical, but also easy to install and clean. Of course, the shower also needs a shower fitting. A shower cubicle requires shower screens or a shower curtain. Storage options such as shower shelves or niches are also important components for keeping care products handy and tidy.

What are the maintenance tasks for a shower?

Dry the shower tray after each use to avoid limescale stains.
Shower walls, shower mixer and shower tray benefit from regular cleaning. This prevents limescale and other deposits.
Home remedies such as vinegar, baking powder or bicarbonate of soda and a soft cloth help against limescale.
