Next, you will want to actually measure the space to make sure that you will know exactly what size shower enclosure to actually order. It's important that you don't skip this step, since it can lead to fitting problems later.

Finally, you will need to think carefully about whether or not to go with a professional installation or to actually go more with a more do it yourself approach. Generally speaking, most people will still want to look into pursuing a professional installation because an improperly installed shower enclosure can leak very easily.

In addition, it's better to get it professionally installed in order to preserve the warranty on the shower enclosure, as well as perhaps the hardware such as faucets. Some manufacturers of shower enclosures will not honor the warranty unless it has been installed by a professional installer. A professional contractor can also speed up the installation of your shower enclosure, which is better than having to take too much time out of your busy schedule.
