Heavy Glass Shower Doors Frameless
Heavy glass shower doors are frameless, thus give an outclass look. So having a heavy glass shower door means that you do not need frames and all the hardware for getting the modern, sleek, look. The frameless style of these shower doors creates a clear view which makes the bathroom seem bigger. Shower doors frameless are a famous type of shower door and there are many other types of frameless shower doors such as bypass / slider doors, pivot doors, inline doors, doors for steam showers, and custom shower doors. If you want to showcase your shower’s tile or masonry then heavy glass is the perfect option.
High Tech Shower Heads
Another thing to consider for granting a spa inspired look to your bathroom think about High Tech Shower Heads. Upgrade the boring old shower head to multiple shower heads including body sprays, water jets and rain shower heads. High quality showerheads can change the way you bathe. Usually the purpose of a shower head is to provide hot water and decent pressure. But there are lots of new features are available in high tech shower heads that can astonish you the same way as they have surprised me.
So let me surprise you too by unveiling the new features such as
- Playing music,
- Monitoring water consumption,
- Immersing you in an LED light bath.
Stem Showers
In the new homes and master bathrooms the fully enclosed steam showers are becoming trendy. You should opt for the best stem showers.
Shower Benches
Do not forget to build a shower bench in your spa like bathroom. Portable shower benches are also available in the market. So the choice is yours that you want a Built-in or portable bench in your spa inspired bathroom. Shower benches add the relaxation mode.
Zero Entry
You can also choose the zero-entry showers for creating a spa like shower enclosure. The benefit of using the zero-entry showers or curbless shower stalls is that its functionality is for everyone from grandkids to grandparents. As multiple generations live under the same roof so it is important to have a bathroom equally fit for every family member.
Don’ts of Shower Remodeing
While remodeling your shower you should also keep in mind some don’ts like
- Don’t replace your only tub
- Don’t build around a window
Although replacing bathtub with shower makes the bathroom trendy but always remember one thing that you should never replace your only tub. The reason behind this suggestion is that the bathtub is not only for taking a bath, but it also provides other benefits like it is useful for washing up large cloths specially window blinds. It is also beneficial for giving your pets a bath. So, there is a need of at least one tub in the home for convenience and also for making your home’s resale value.
Secondly, you should not build a shower enclosure around the window. The reason behind it is that the window casing can easily allow the water to seep around it and into your walls. If there is a window above your bathtub where now you are planning to build a shower enclosure, then think for a moment and opt for another place or close up the window first. Otherwise, there is possibility of having tear out the window/wall and ugly mold.
Point to Remember
In the last I would like to share a tip that “Make Your Shower as Big as Possible”. Because there’s rarely a chance that you would regret of making a shower too big, but making your bathroom too small can push you in a situation of “woulda, coulda, shoulda”. According to most building regulations 30” by 30” is the measurement of shower stall.
