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
In a metal electrons are in a sea of electrons (called a conductivity band) which helps the flow between a large chain of mater, nonmetals (with some exceptions) are connected only by their valence bands and have virtually no conductivity band under standard conditions.-------------------------------------... Nichrome is a hybrid material with density 8400kg/m^3 while pure nickel has 8,908 kg/m^3 due to the addition of chromium.
