Working with Plastic Bathtub and Shower Enclosures
Posted on October 6th, 2009 20 commentsSome of these plastic shower enclosures use extremely thin materials and you will need to be extremely careful when handling them. I’ve seen them crack, chip and break and when this happens, you need to either return the damaged product, or purchase a new one.
Most home improvement centers have nice displays or nice pictures of plastic shower enclosures in their stores. Their displays, often look great and even the pictures on the boxes that the products are enclosed in, seem to give a look of elegance to most plastic bathtub and shower enclosures.
You go down to your favorite home improvement center and purchase one of these products that looks easy to assemble and requires very few tools. Before you leave the store, make sure that you have purchased the proper adhesives and bathtub or shower enclosure backing.
Most home improvement center representatives or house plumbing supply warehouse workers can help you, all you need to do is ask. I don’t recommend purchasing a gypsum based product that isn’t mold resistant or water resistant, for your backing board. For those of you who don’t know what a backing board is, it’s the building material that will nail or screw onto your bathroom wall framing. The plastic shower or bath tub enclosure will be attached to this backing.
One last thing I would like to say when working with plastic bathtub or shower enclosure products, would be, to be careful, if you have to cut them. Most of these products will suggest using a razor knife, but I have actually chipped off and cracked sections of these enclosures, when using a sharp utility knife.
I recommend using a pair of scissors, I have had great success and would suggest testing the scissors first, by cutting a section of the plastic enclosure that you won’t be using.

There are several advantages to shopping online, the first one being the ability to shop at a time that is convenient to you, not just when the shops are open. The second advantage of shopping online is that goods are often cheaper as the seller does not have the costs of running a shop and having to pay wages to salespeople, insurance and all of the other running costs of a real world business.

This is a great blog and you should seriously think about building up this blog into a serious authority in this field, I’m sure you could definitely make a dollar or two from some ads. I would look into following recent news and raising the number of posts you make and I bet you’d start receiving some easy traffic soon. Just a thought, good luck regardless!
