Showers

Showers can be a proprietary made item or built to your specifications.

They can hold one or more people and come in a number of different finishes.

You as the designer have to be aware of these finishes and water features as well as the problems of water splashing around.

If the shower is not a proprietary system that allows for the sealing of all surfaces you must make sure that the detailing of the shower walls and floor allows no water into the substrate and that any moisture that may creep through cannot do any damage if it does.

It is a very good idea to ensure that all timber framing around and under the shower is treated for external use e.g. H3 or similar.

I would also recommend that the area in behind the shower walls is well-ventilated, as well as the shower or room that the shower is in.

The greatest enemy that a building has is water.
