Your bathroom is your place of relaxation. It is where you fulfill some of your basic needs and ease stress coming home from work or after a long day outside. If you are considering remodelling your bathroom, maybe just for simple home improvement or because you are looking to sell your property in the near future, the perfect solution for it to become more convenient and achieve a modern style is a walk in shower. Below are some of the top reasons why it is an ideal choice.
They are Practical and Space Savers
They are accessible and easier to use. Their design is ideal for people with less mobility such as children and the elderly since there is no need for them to lift their legs over a bath side. A bulky cubicle or a shower tray is also not required so it is a great space saver. It can be of any shape or size so that you can fit it in tight or unusual spaces. Your bathroom will have more natural light and will appear larger too since there are no visual interruptions.
Walk-in showers are also easy to maintain and clean. They are made of glass so there are no metal pieces that you need to clean. You only need to think about the shower head, taps and tiles as you would with any other showers. There are no doors, door handles or any hinges to scrub. There will also be only a minimal build up since grime and dirt will be washed away towards the drain.
They are Design Friendly
Another advantage is that they can add a contemporary design to your bathroom. You can choose a design that matches your personality and you will have lots of options based on the size of your bathroom because of its customisability for space. You can also choose different types of stones or tiles to mix and match. Your bathroom will have a designer look that will boost its style credentials and will add value to it should you decide to sell your home in the future.
The feeling of space will be emphasised because of their minimalist design. They are also usually made from glass, giving the illusion of space in bathrooms. Their design also involves fewer fittings, so durability is not really a major problem since there are no door seals or hinges that can wear out. They can also can withstand the pressure of water for years because they use tiles known for being durable and long-lasting.
Remember that the installation of a walk-in shower is not a do-it-yourself project. There are many factors that need to be considered such as plumbing and layout, so it is best to consult a professional.
