The Copper Shower Kit
Copper is a great choice for a shower/tub enclosure because of its anti-corrosive and anti-microbial properties. The Copper Shower Kit from The Copper Shower Company provides multi-piece pure copper panels and trim parts. These may be assembled and installed as a shower/tub enclosure around a shower or bathtub. The design of the trim parts allows for easy installation of the panels, even in unplumbed, unsquared locations.
