4. What will fit? Investigate your options.

Custom glass showers may be designed in any size and shape. Acrylic shower bases are a convenient option and are available in a range of standard sizes. Separating the tub and shower by placing a glass panel between will open the view and allow for light, while the tub deck might extend into the shower for a convenient ledge or seat. When determining the size and location of a new shower, it's important to note where the door will open and how its placement will impact the rest of the fixtures.

Custom, built-in vanities may be designed in almost any size. They are offered with many added features including a taller, more comfortable height of 34". Medicine cabinets may be recessed into interior walls to afford a cleaner design. It should be noted that the mirror will be a few inches further from your view.

Toilets are available in lengths ranging from 27" to 31". Bidets also measure approximately 30" long and, like toilets, require a minimum area of 30" for a body's width.
