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
1 Metallic bonding refers to the interaction between the delocalised electrons and the metal nuclei. 2  The physical properties of metals are the result of the delocalisation of the electrons involved in metallic bonding. The physical properties of solid metals are: 2  conduct heat. 3  conduct electricity. 4  generally high melting and boiling points. 5  strong. 6  malleable (can be hammered or pressed out of shape without breaking). 7  ductile (able to be drawn into a wire). 8  metallic lustre. 9  opaque (reflect light).
