MAAX Shower Kits

MAAX shower kits are a practical way to shop for a new shower when you would rather choose a set than piece one together from separate parts. Series on this page include Outlook, Camelia, Allia, Icon, Essence and Scarlet, with examples such as the Outlook BFS-6036A (1-Piece), the Camelia SHR-4834 (3-Piece) and the Icon SH3636X AFR. Finish and colour options offered on the page include White, Chrome, Matte Black and Brushed Nickel, so you can match the shower to the rest of your bathroom hardware.

Before you narrow down a series, start with your rough opening: measure the width, depth and height of the space, and note where the drain sits in relation to your existing plumbing. Think about whether a corner layout or an alcove suits the room, and whether a one-piece or multi-piece unit makes sense, since one-piece units need a clear path into the bathroom while multi-piece units are easier to carry through doorways and up stairs. Read each listing to confirm what is included and what you will need to source separately, such as the valve, trim and showerhead, so there are no surprises on installation day.

What to check before you buy

• Measure the opening first. Record the width, depth and height of your space, including ceiling clearance, before comparing kits. Walls are rarely perfectly square, so measure in more than one spot.
• Check the drain position. Confirm whether your plumbing lines up with a centre or corner drain. Moving a drain is possible but adds cost and time to the job.
• One-piece or multi-piece access. One-piece units arrive as a single shell and must fit through doors, hallways and stairwells. Multi-piece units are easier to move and are assembled in place.
• Confirm what is included. Read the listing for what comes in the box, such as a base, walls or glass. Plan to buy the valve, trim and showerhead separately unless the listing says otherwise.
• Match your hardware finish. Choose a finish that works with your faucet, towel bars and accessories. Chrome, Matte Black and Brushed Nickel each pair differently with tile and lighting.

Frequently asked questions

Should I choose a one-piece or multi-piece shower kit?

It depends mostly on access. A one-piece unit has no seams to assemble but must fit through your doorways and hallways, while a multi-piece unit is easier to bring into a finished home and is assembled on site.

What do I need to measure before ordering a shower kit?

Measure the width, depth and height of the opening, note the drain location, and check the path from your front door to the bathroom. Also confirm the wall framing is plumb and the floor is level, since both affect the fit.

Does a MAAX shower kit include the faucet and showerhead?

Not necessarily. Read the listing to see exactly what is included, and plan to source the valve, trim and showerhead separately unless the listing states they come with the kit.
