Walk-in showers are all the rage these days, and for good reason: they’re spacious (but still fit in a small space), elegant and accessible. They’re easy to keep clean and maintain, are practical and, most of all, they’re beautiful in any bathroom, no matter your style.
A walk-in shower is a waterproofed showering area that typically has no hinged doors, enabling you to simply “walk in.” A popular design feature is to have a wet-room-style floor where the floor is tiled throughout. Another common design feature is a frameless fixed glass panel that shields the water spray from the rest of the room.
There are many benefits to the walk-in shower. Let’s have a look.
1. Space Saver
If you are desperate to create the illusion of space, a walk-in shower is for you. One of the benefits of a frameless fixed shower panel is there is no visual interruption through the space making the room appear larger and brighter
2. Practical Advantages
Thanks to the step-free design, walk-in showers are ideal for people with less mobility, such as the elderly and young children. The extra space that comes with walk in showers means showering two or more kids is a breeze.
3. Easy Maintenance
Minimal hardware equals minimal cleaning. With no frame, door handle and hinges to clean, the only thing left to clean is the glass and shower head. Take advantage of the easy-to-clean glass treatment, which makes it super simple to spray down the glass.
4. Designer Look
The sleek lines and minimal styling of walk-in showers gives them a high-end, luxe look that will boost any bathroom’s style credentials. You’ll also be pleased to know that achieving this designer look won’t break the budget, thanks to the budget friendly frameless fixed panels.
5. Stand the Test of Time
With fewer fittings involved in their design, walk-in showers are a hardy feature that will stand up to years of usage and wear and tear. No more replacing hinges or door seals that have worn out; a walk-in shower will keep its good looks for a long time.
