Add a Stylish and Creative Water Fixture for the Bathroom
The wide variety of luxury showers is as amazing as they are popular. Everybody has their own preferences and needs, but everybody wants to have a quality shower experience every time.
There are many unique ways to improve your showering experience one being the double shower heads can maximize space and give you a total showering experience that won’t leave half your body still freezing when you enter the shower. Two-person showers and separate shower and tub installations are also becoming increasingly popular for large bathrooms.
Like any water fixture, there are a million different designs and materials: plastic, brass, metallic, traditional, or contemporary; the options are virtually limitless. So even if you’re replacing your old head with one of these dual faucets, there shouldn’t be a problem matching the new product to your bathroom’s pre-existing decor. Also, there are a few different types of models out there to choose from:
•Handheld: Instead of keeping it stationary, re-define the idea of a dual shower head. Maybe you simply need an additional, movable spout that can be handheld for more customized versatility and more control of the water source.
•Vertical: Instead of the spouts being bifurcated above your head, why not have them installed vertically along the wall of the shower. It’s like a whirlpool while standing up.
•Opposite Sides: Instead of the fixtures being affixed to a single pipe in one central location, why not install two different heads opposite each other. You’ll be surrounded in a cascade of water for total front and back immersion. Plus, if showering for two, no one will have to worry about being left out in the cold.
•Body Sprays: These smaller shower heads can be placed around the shower to give the option of additional water spray from the front, back or sides. There are a variety of spray options from gentle to a more vigorous massaging jet sprays.
Framed doors are becoming less popular for shower enclosures. The frameless alternative requires a thicker glass and sturdier hinges and may or may not include a header, which runs across the top of the enclosure to add stability and support to the glass. The thicker glass might be 3/8 to 1/2 inch thick, which results in a more expensive product. Classic door configurations like single swing or sliding are possibilities while newer designs redefine the shower enclosure door to a whole new concept.
Glass choice is an important consideration to make when selecting a shower door. A few factors can come into play that might encourage a homeowner to choose from the obscured or patterned variety. Privacy is one consideration. An obscured glass vocers up the shower occupant more, something aging couples in particular seek. Within the patterned glass family there are nearly countless styles, including fluted, bevelled and etched patterns. Patterned glass styles and their accompanying names are as numerous as the companies that manufacture them and can add flair and artistry to a room’s overall aesthetic. Clear glass remains the most popular choice for doors, and it suits the shower or bathroom remodel that will include stylish tile, fixtures and shower accessories worth showing off and making visible.
Glass treatment is another consideration when selecting the shower enclosure. Shower glass has a reputation for deteriorating over time and being difficult to clean. However now this aspect is reduced through the factory- applied glass, treated especially to protect the glass from accumulation grime, making it easier to clean.
