Showers are no longer just a way of cleansing yourself. With a shower to suit every size of bathroom and every budget, the choices are exciting and inspiring. You need to consider the size of the shower, its location in the
bathroom suites and the finish and look you would like.
If space is limited, install a shower over the bath; use either a glass
shower screen in a variety of sizes and shapes such as sliding, folding or curved, or a curtain. A corner shower also takes up less space;
Aqualux manufactures a 760mm compact size. The shape could be square, rectangular or the space saving quadrant. If you have more space available, your choice of showers is nearly unlimited. You could install a recessed
Shower, a walk-in or even the increasingly popular wet floor.
Doors for showers are available in sliding and
bi-fold, which are both suitable if space is a problem as they open sideways or inward; and also in pivot, which opens outward and could hang on hinges. Glass could be clear, patterned or sandblasted and the frames could be finished in white or silver, or it could even be frameless. You could install a shower tray or prefer to have the floor tiled.
Taps and
shower heads are also available in an increasingly large range. Heads come in water-conserving shower mists, large heads with high flow or adjustable heads. A shower cabin is really a spa at your finger tips, with steam, various settings, speeds and body jets available. You could even have speakers and an MP3 player installed.
