If a man could just take off his shorts and step into a shower, would he be willing to take one more often? Perhaps he would if he could see something tempting waiting for him on the other side. And a woman? Could a high-tech, glass-enclosed shower help de-stress your day? Could you even make it a little more risky?
These are compelling questions and one way to find the answers is to install a walk-in shower and see what happens. Walk-in showers are THE latest trend in bathroom décor. They are stylish, contemporary and virtually maintenance free and are now more affordable than ever.
When it comes to the bathroom, many people take this room for granted. As long as the bathroom is functional and contains the essentials, most will not attach much importance to this part of the house. And that is a mistake. Go take a look in your bathroom. Are you happy with what you see? Is it calming and relaxing? If your appearance is somewhat sterile or worse, seriously out of date, it’s time to turn your attention in that direction. It’s time you gave that room a makeover.
Do you need even more reasons to take the plunge, so to speak? Here are not one, but six compelling reasons why Brits are falling in love with the walk-in shower.
Walk-in showers add a luxurious air to your morning routine.
And luxury is what today’s bathroom is all about. The bathroom is no longer thought of as simply the place to take care of mundane, mundane affairs. Now is THE place to pamper yourself. With a walk-in shower as the centerpiece of your bathroom, it will be easier than ever to find accessories to match no matter what your decorating style is. You can personalize your heart’s content with stainless steel, brushed nickel, silver or chrome faucets, wall mirrors, luxuriously absorbent towels, aromatherapy candles and more. You are in charge of creating the kind of escape you crave; one that is functional but best of all, one that is reminiscent of 5-star accommodation in your favorite vacation hideaway.
Walk-in showers allow space to shower with a partner.
Take a moment to let your mind wander and imagine the possibilities. Go ahead, be adventurous. What a great way to get out of the bedroom routine and add some excitement to your life! And if those kinds of thoughts are too much for your innocent mind, just think of the water you’ll keep when you shower together. You’ll be doing your part for the environment and at the same time setting the stage for many exciting things to come.
Walk-in showers increase the resale value of your home.
When it comes to home equity, you’ll almost always get the most return on your investment when you upgrade your kitchen and bathroom. A frameless clear glass walk-in shower will instantly update the look of any bathroom, no matter how old it is. Walk-in showers create a more spacious environment, which is a huge benefit, especially when space is already limited. This popular look is modern yet timeless, which means you won’t have to worry about the money you invest – the walk-in shower you install today will look good even 10 years from now!
Walk-in showers are easier to clean.
You won’t have to spend another moment inhaling harsh chemicals as you painstakingly work to remove accumulated mold and mildew from shower curtains and doors. Just wipe the glass when you are done and done. You’re busy enough already, so anything that helps cut down on cleaning time is a blessing. You are likely to be even more inclined to keep your shower area clean to be assured of a clear view of what awaits you on the other side.
Walk-in showers are easier for the old and the young to use.
When you install a wet floor shower, you won’t have to step over any raised edges to get in, greatly increasing mobility. The security aspect alone is the deciding factor for many. The addition of a seat and flexible hose with a handheld showerhead means showering will no longer be an excruciating task. Kids love walk-in showers too. And guess what? The more they enjoy showering, the more inclined they are to do it!
Walk-in showers are easy to install in an existing bathroom area.
Installation is possible (and not that difficult) even outside of real walls. Walk-in showers can be installed in any recessed area or in any corner. With easy-to-follow instructions included with every walk-in shower, DIYers can handle most installations without hiring a contractor. You probably don’t need to hire a plumber either!
There you have it – several reasons why you should consider installing a walk-in shower. You will benefit, your home will benefit, and quite possibly your love life will benefit as well.
