1240927	2011-10-30 22:53:00	Currently hunting for a shower to fit in the space allocated in my bathroom, cannot be wider than 850 as it means altering the door into bathroom........ so searching trademe for ideas........ :) looking at all types, with a tray. www.trademe.co.nz i did like the ones with 1100 or 1200 length but alas they dont come in 850, just 750 or 900, which seems to be to small or too big. would prefer something new, any suggestions....... thanks for looking :) beetle	beetle (243)
1240928	2011-10-31 00:41:00	Beetle, is that 850mm dimension the exact measurement to fit in the space, and is it the width or the depth? One of the best manufacturers is Englefield, and their Glenfield showroom is across the road from where I'm working tomorrow and Wednesday. I'll be happy to suss out for you what they've got. :)	WalOne (4202)

That solves the 850 door problem. It all goes together nicely and looks good. We did it that way some while ago and are pleased with it.	CliveM (6007)
1240930	2011-10-31 00:51:00	Ok . . . . . . . . . . . . the exact dimension at the moment without the door frame is from gib to door . it is 900 . but i have to put up new gib, and have lining put on walls and the frame back around door when gib is on . so it was suggested by plumber to put in a 850 max depth shower . it can have a L shape . . . . . . . . . . . wall depth short while lenght of other wall no probs could be 1200 or more, but alas not wide but long . does that make sense? looking at options . am hoping to do bathroom, paint lounge, hall way and kitchen put some new flooring down and sell . and tame the wilderness of a back yard when my mower comes back . . . . lol clear as mud? :) just to clarify, its not the shower door width, its the wall the shower goes on width . . . . . . . . Clive can you explain a little bit more about what you did? beetle	beetle (243)
1240931	2011-10-31 01:22:00	Beetle it would be a lot easier to get a local tradesman/woman to quote for the job they should be aware of all your available options. You are not incurring any cost unless you accept their quote and tell them to proceed. The unit we have comes in 2 parts, a base and flexible walls. The base needs to be sized to suit the floor area it is to be placed upon. The walls are cut to suit. Because all the bits are separate they can be moved into any bathroom without regard to the door size of the bathroom or any other doorway used to access the area. As you seem to have already worked out the one piece shower units you see on display are usually only ok if you are building a new house/room. There is no way to get them into an existing bathroom without major work being carried out ie cutting a hole through the wall.	CliveM (6007)
1240932	2011-10-31 01:43:00	I have had a plumber in, and the floor guy, I know what i need to do, i have had quotes, i just have to find a shower i like, and will fit . I know i have to have a shower with a seperate tray, and seperate walls . . . . . . . . i have been to numerous places, and have not found it yet . I am in the process of looking, and trying to decide colours etc, so when its painted and floor laid its all ok to look at . I had been suggested to look at trademe by the plumber, so i am . the builder knows what i want i just have to get back to him and talk options if i dont want the style of shower suggested . Ive done the hard yards, and now am just looking . . . . . . . . . . . . . . trying to decide what i like and was wondering if any one has a round shower . or should i stick to normal shaped showers etc . No matter what i decide i have to rip up lino, and plaster the floor, and assess whether to leave waste in same spot, we are moving the vanity, so um yeah . If ya dont ask, ya dont know . I have talked lots to the builder and plumber . . . . . . . . . still not happy to start yet . . . . :) beetle	beetle (243)

1240934	2011-10-31 01:52:00	No problem, not sure what i want yet, round or square, 850 would be the max width of one wall,this is the wall the shower head is in, and 900 + on the other i guess . It has to have a seperate tray, and not bifold doors . . . :p Thanks :) beetle	beetle (243)
1240935	2011-10-31 02:23:00	If you go "round", you'll unavoidably cut down on the amount of space in the shower, so I would think to fit 850 or 900, you'd want to stick to right angled sides. That'd give you the maximum space. As CliveM points out, you'll be unable to get a one piece unit into the area without knocking down a wall or two. He's also on the money with his Post #3. I'll see what Englefield come up with Tuesday or Wednesday and get back to you. Cheers :)	WalOne (4202)
1240936	2011-10-31 04:06:00	I dont understand what you mean by a one piece, the ones im looking at are not one piece, they are seperate tray, seperate walls, and seperate doors . . . . . . . . . . . . . i went down to mitre 10 and stood in some showers, and found the 820 round far to small, but i cannot fit the rest of the showers in the space allowed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ive had a blasted horrid day, everything that could go wrong did . its not the bathroom door that is the problem . its the shower wall that is the problem . i got the larger shower out, so i know i can get a new one in, and no it wont be one piece . . . . . . . . . . . . its pieces . . . . . . . . i ripped the original one out . . not the builder . . . . . . . what he said is what i have been trying to do . . . . . . . . . . . . . . thats the only thing i have been doing, all seperate bits . . . . . . . . . . . its a 2 sided shower, with 2 sides glass . . . . . . . . im not sure you are understanding what you are saying is what i have been trying to explain . . . . . . . . :( beetle	beetle (243)
