Walk in or regular shower?

12/11/2019

 
Are you planning to renovate your bathroom? If so, it is important to know if you’re going for a walk-in shower, regular shower, or the type that is fitted over a bathtub. There are several benefits of having a walk-in shower and we’re going to tackle some of them in this article, so you can finally decide whether it’s the most ideal option for your situation.

There are some potential benefits of walk-in showers and these will include the following:
  • Walk-in showers look aesthetically fabulous
Having a walk-in shower in your bathroom improves the flow within and gives it a sophisticated designer feel. In fact, whenever you see photos of walk-in showers, they look more luxurious, sleek and minimalist, which gives your bathroom a spa-like ambience. This will definitely increase the value of your home.

  • Easier to clean and maintain
A well-built walk-in shower is much easier and quicker to clean than a standard bathtub or cubicle shower. The reason for this is that the shower floor can quickly be mopped along with the rest of the bathroom floor. It’s also easy to clean the toughened glass shower screen since it only needs a quick spray to keep it looking sleek and gleaming.

Another thing to consider in a walk-in shower is that there are far fewer corners and edges, which means fewer areas to collect debris and grow mould.

  • It is sturdy
If you’re adding a walk-in shower in your bathroom, you’ll need to use ceramic tiles, natural stone, or porcelain, so they both look beautiful and modern but also very durable and long-lasting. The shower will also consist of tiles from ceiling to floor along with a glass screen, so there isn’t much to break or repair.

In fact, in most cases, you just need to replace the door seals and hinges, but that will take several years before you replace them.

  • Space-saver
Regardless of the size of your bathroom, you can easily fit a walk-in shower into the most awkward of spaces. If you hire a reliable bathroom renovation specialist, they can even design a custom and well-fitted walk-in shower to save a lot of space. On the contrary, if you have a big bathroom, you can make your walk-in shower the highlight of your bathroom.

So, whatever the size of your space is, you can make it look more spacious by adding a walk-in shower since you don’t need a shower curtain or cubicle which are common objects that obstruct the eye. The glass shower screen can also make space look more prominent since it can let the light bounce around the bathroom.

What you need to consider when adding a walk-in shower
To ensure a long-lasting walk-in shower, it is essential that proper waterproofing is implemented on both the walls and floors of the shower. You’ll need to ensure that it is fully waterproof, so you won’t have any problems in the long run, except for replacing a washer in one of the taps once it becomes defective through wear and tear.
