Renovating a bathroom is truly a serious undertaking in terms of logistics and finances. It's best to plan and think everything through carefully before starting. If you want to do it for a reasonable price, we have a worthwhile tip for you. By using the instructions provided by bathroom equipment manufacturers, you can install some of the finishing accessories yourself, even if you think you lack the skills.

Instructions for standard shower holder installation

A point shower holder is a small device for the shower cabin, allowing for an easy installation with minimal time and effort. First, we need to prepare a complete set of necessary parts and tools that we will use. The choice of the optimal height to hang our shower head for all users is important. Using a pencil, mark, preferably at the junction of the tiles, where you need to drill the installation holes. Most standard holders are mounted to the wall with two plugs and two screws. Next, inject a small amount of silicone into the holes and install the plugs. Now, just firmly screw in our holder and install the remaining equipment. To complete the setup in our cabin, we need a shower mixer. It is also worth considering a rain shower head and side jets, as these accessories will create a space in our bathroom worthy of an exclusive spa.

It is also worth mentioning special holders for concealed installation, which are installed similarly to concealed mixers. This solution has recently become increasingly popular. To install such a type of holder, the brass element needs to be screwed into the water outlet in the wall and secured with something like Teflon to prevent leaks. The chrome element is pressed over the installed thread and against the tiles.
