Installing a Englefield Shower Unit
Hi peoples I was just wondering if any of you have installed one of these units, It looks like the wife wants to buy the following http://www.englefield.com/catalog/pr...?product=89523 1200x900 anyway beside my wallet being in total pain, is there anything I should be aware of?
The unit is going into the same place as the old so it looks like the only thing that will need to be moved is the waste, the old shower that was only 5 years old was leaking as it was never done right to start with and has cause a few problems that I have now fixed (water damage to the floor walls etc).
we will be using the acrylic walls so no tiling required in the shower.
I am replacing the walls with cement sheeting but should I still waterproof the walls just in case or just the floor, not sure on that part I guess it cant hurt in the long run but will it be required, also what type on adhesive should be used.
It also says on the site that the bases don't need to checked in so I guess thats a plus:brava ?
Thanks in advance, Sean

If you haven't already committed yourself to the Englefield unit, check out some of the other brands. I just installed a Marbletrend Boston corner 1000mm unit and the adhesive was supplied and the one piece 3mm skin just needed to be braced overnight.The base is self-supporting so a bit of waterproof adhesive does the job. So far our unit is fine. They are a bit pricey alright but I managed to get this one through Mitre 10 under $1200.
