Walk in Showers – A Guide To Showering In Luxury

Walk in showers are the ultimate, contemporary bathroom feature. Learn how to find the shower that will have your bathroom dripping with style and luxury.

Walk in showers are the ultimate choice for when you want to boost the luxury level of your day-to-day life, or you simply are not sure where to start when decorating a new bathroom. Not only are they stylish and comfortable to use, but they are increasingly affordable, and quickly becoming an vital part of bathrooms in homes around the world.

• Materials

Glass. A glass shower that you can walk into, with the help of a luxuriant, shiny finish, can be one of the most relaxing features of your day-to-day life, which makes them hugely popular when it comes to the shower market. Most manufacturers of walk-ins offer at least one, if not many, types of glass showers. Another useful factor is that they are simple to clean and maintain.

• Shape:The shape of a walk in shower is one of the most important aspects to consider before you buy. Here are a few of the most common shapes you will find among manufacturers:

Quadrant Shape. Quadrant shape showers are a massively popular choice among buyers. On half of them has a right-angled shape, while the other has a smooth curve. The right-angled side makes them perfect to fit into the corner of nearly any bathroom, while the curve gives them a dose of luxury and style.

Pentagon Shape. Pentagon shape showers are much the same as their quadrant shape counterparts, except the curve is completely replaced by three panels which give them a pentagon shaped front. This usually means they have a central door at the front, which can be an attractive feature.

Square or Rectangle Shape. Square or rectangle shape walk-ins are as simple as they sound. They offer a less fancy shape, but an equally stylish and pleasurable shower experience. Another bonus of the square or rectangle shaped shower is that they will fit quite easily even into the most awkwardly shaped bathrooms.

• Extra Features: Keep an eye out for manufacturers trying to catch your eye by offering extra features as part of their walk in showers. Often these features can greatly increase the luxury factor of your walk-in (and sometimes also the price!), and they are well worth looking out for.

Drying Areas. Look out for showers with built-in drying or standing areas. Many good manufacturers will offer drying areas with wood or bamboo walk boards to soak up the water, which can double the luxury and comfort of your shower experience.

Towel Rails and Shelves. There is no need to have countless shampoo bottles and soap bars taking up all the space inside your new shower. Look for a model which has sufficient shelf space to keep your shower free of clutter. A lot of the more spacious walk in showers also have towel rails near the door, which is another great feature.
