Add A Little Spice to Your Bathroom with a New Shower or Steam Shower Enclosure

The cold and the dull duration of winter can be a long and tiresome affair. One of the best ways to keep yourself occupied throughout this time is by upgrading your bathroom.

There are many unique and diverse ways in which you can enhance the bathroom, but one of the more popular options starts with the shower. Upgrading the shower is not as simple as it may first appear. The choice of shower takes more than just deciding on the best colour. A whole re-style is usually required, especially if your current set up consists of a bath shower combination. By deciding on implementing a shower cubicle or one of the latest steam shower enclosures means a whole new layout. This will be greatly impaired if you have the unfortunate problem of space. If your bathroom is limited in space and size your overall solution for implementing a shower cubicle may consist of removing your bathtub and then utilising this area for your new cubicle. On the other hand if you are lucky enough to have a large bathroom you may feel that the addition of a shower enclosure or steam shower cabin will add that finishing touch to your interior.

Once you have decided up on your options for installation your next step is to consider which shower enclosure will suit your requirements. For this you will need to measure the space you have available in your bathroom. If you are considering purchasing a steam shower or steam shower bath then space is vital as each of these units requires home assembly. This means that although you may be able to accommodate the size of the cubicle, you may require additional room for assembly. Always seek advice from the bathroom supplier before purchase. Other options home owners fail to notice until it is too late is the room required for opening and closing the shower cubicles doors. Although most of the new generation of steam shower enclosures feature sliding and bi-fold away doors there are still certain units that feature the standard shower doors that swing open so you can enter. So always ensure you take in to account this additional measurement before purchasing.

If you simply do not have the budget or space for a new shower enclosure or a cutting edge steam shower cabin and you only have the standard bathtub, then you could consider adding the refreshing element of a shower. Utilising your bathtub by implementing an electric shower above the opposite end is one of the more cost effective options for adding a shower. The electric showers come in a vast variety of styles and are the perfect addition to your bathroom. Unlike the shower cabins the electric shower system actually heats up your water with having additional benefits such as the power shower system which offers the ultimate in showering even if you have a low water pressure.

Whether you decide on the electric shower or the steam shower enclosure always try to ensure you use a non-slip surface to stand on. This will be either a non-slip shower base or purchase a good quality rubber bath mat. This will ensure you and your family are safe from slipping when showering. Before you go and purchase your shower first speak with a qualified plumber and find out whether your home can accommodate your requirements. Each showering system has different requirements such as the steam shower needs adequate water pressure; also you need to know your drainage system can handle the amount of water from your new shower. Above all, the main factors worth remembering when upgrading your bathroom is choosing items that are functional and a trend that works with you and your family and most importantly your budget.
