My Wish List
In our bathrooms, regardless of their surface, more and more often open shower enclosures appear, i.e. Walk-in shower enclosures. Is it just current fashion or a functional solution that stays with us for years? In this article, we are going to show you the most important advantages of this type of shower enclosure and prove that it is a recipe for every bathroom.
Arranging the bathroom, we now give up traditional bathtubs much more often for the benefit of modern showers, which take up much less space, and are also very modern. There are many types of shower enclosures on the market, from the traditional ones, built-in with a high shower tray, to the minimalist Walk-In shower enclosures. The Walk-In shower enclosure is made of large glass panes, finished with elegant details. Depending on the bathroom layout, the shower enclosure can consist of three, two or even one large sheet. The design of such a construction gives a lot of possibilities - it allows you to incorporate a shower space into very small bathrooms with a surface area of only a few square meters.
Walk-In shower enclosure, means ...?
Of course, when deciding on this type of shower enclosure, we cannot forget about some important details. The issue of heating is very important. Closed shower enclosures heat up much faster compared to open shower enclosures. So we need to ensure the optimal temperature in the bathroom - it is worth considering underfloor heating. Due to the fact that water vapor will float in the whole bathroom, we must also ensure proper ventilation of the room. One last point: leveling the floor. The Walk-In shower enclosure should be located in a place where a slope of approximately 1.5 cm has been prepared, as well as a line or point drain - this solution will protect us from water accumulation on the floor.
We already know what a Walk-In shower is, now we can have a look at the advantages of this type of shower.
Functionality and convenience - these are the main features that make more and more people choose Walk-In shower enclosures. It is not only about the convenience of use, but also about keeping it clean. Comparing a traditional shower enclosure with a Walk-In construction, it can be seen that the latter has significantly fewer recesses in which e.g. sediment could accumulate. It is also characterized by a smaller number of elements that could wear out over time. When choosing a Walk-In shower enclosure, we cannot pass indifferently by the walls of the shower enclosure, which should be made of safety glass. It increases the safety of use, but it is also worth checking whether it has a special coating that is resistant to stains and limescale. Thanks to this, with minimal effort on our part, we can easily keep the product clean.
Functionality
In Walk-In shower enclosures, there is usually no threshold or door, which is why it is a great solution for people who have mobility problems. Shower enclosures of this type can be very spacious, and thanks to the fact that it is easy to get in and out of the shower enclosure, people using a walker or wheelchair can use it. The Walk-In shower enclosure is also much easier to mount handles or a seat that will increase the comfort of showering for the elderly and less fit.
Comfort of use
The Walk-In shower enclosure is minimalistic, it consists only of glass panes, which is why this type of shower enclosure fits bathrooms decorated in various arrangement styles. Even if we change the bathroom decor, we are not be forced to change the shower enclosure, because it is characterized by universality. The fact that the Walk-In shower enclosure is seemingly invisible makes it a great solution for bathrooms with a smaller usable area. Thanks to this, the shower enclosure does not take up space at first glance, and the space visually seems much more spacious.
Aesthetics
We hope that we have proved that the Walk-In shower enclosure is an interesting solution for both small and larger bathrooms. Comfort of use, as well as an original appearance make it an ideal solution for people who have mobility problems, but also for those who value interesting, but also universal elements of the interior.
