Shower Controls
And if we’re talking showers, it’s vital to share your plans with your plumber at the right time. A typical planning faux pas that can end up being very costly to fix is not choosing your shower controls before plumbing rough-ins are completed, explains Melissa Michaud, co-owner and design consultant at Firmbuilt Contracting and Design.
If your plumber doesn’t know that you have big plans for a glorious rain head shower fixture coming from your ceiling, plus a handheld sprayer on a sidebar and maybe even some spray jets for your body.
Not speaking to your plumber ahead of time, you’ll end up with some standard plumbing that will only allow you to put in one fixed shower head, leaving you with two options. 1) Abandon your plans of a spa-like oasis, or 2) Pay hundreds of dollars for a re-do.
