Installation of Shower Panels

For the home improvement gurus out there, installation on most models can happen in under an hour. Remove old bath fixtures, exposing the hot and cold water source. If there is a shower head water line, this will need to be capped off. Attach mounting brackets to the wall using wall anchors if necessary. Reconnect hot and cold water to the shower panel and check for leaks. Attach the unit to brackets you already have hung on the wall and seal the unit with tub and tile caulking or factory seal if your unit came with one.

All the hot and cold water lines and connections are enclosed in the panel so the only connection you need to make is to existing faucet lines. There will be a hot and cold water diverter handle that will need to be set for the desired temperature of your shower. Most units do require at least 25psi water pressure, but function best at 50psi. If your home has normal water pressure in the bathroom then the unit will function properly. If your home has low water pressure, you probably will want a plumber to assist you in correcting this issue so the shower panel will work to its best capacity.

Pricing

Pricing for shower panel units starts at approximately $400 to $700 for a really great unit with minimal installation. There are also some very high-end units that price well over $3,000 these units will probably need installation of the shower massage pulsating panel. When choosing the shower panel that is right for you take your time, there are lots of choices. Base your design style on the decor of your bathroom. In addition, enjoying the start of your day with an invigorating massage will be well worth the shower panel you choose.
