New Shower Costs. The actual cost of a new shower depends on your location, the materials used, the complexity of the installation, and other factors. 1  A basic shower enclosure may cost as little as $400 to $600, while a combination bath/shower unit or a top-of-the-line surround could cost $1,500 to $3,000 or more.
A metal with a large number of free flowing electrons most likely has good conductivity
Metals typically have the following physical properties: a lustrous appearance, the ability to change shape without breaking, and excellent conductivity of heat and electricity. Nonmetals typically do not have these physical properties, although there are some exceptions. However it is the chemical difference that really counts. Metals tend to lose electrons to form positive ions, and nonmetals tend to gain electrons to form negative ions. 15 people found this useful.
