Walk In Shower Ideas

To reach the shower, there is no need to take a step up or a step down. That is what a walk in shower is all about. There is a new type of walk in shower that is becoming the talk of the town. This is the walk in shower without doors. Its primary benefit is its taking less bathroom space since there is no need for space provisions for frames or door swings.

The usage and maintenance of a doorless custom designed walk in shower is definitely easier than traditional showers. The possibility of tripping is eradicated by the absence of thresholds which are also highly inconvenient to use. A doorless walk in shower is particularly designed for people who find it difficult to use a confined shower due to their compromised mobility.

A walk in shower without doors is easy to clean and requires minimal surface care. Cleaning a shower with glass doors can be a chore, particularly if it has sliding doors. Furthermore, glass sliding doors can become obstacles should they stick or run off their glides. These concerns are alleviated by doorless walk in showers.

A doorless walk in shower, more often than not, is custom designed. It can either be installed in a corner or used as a replacement to an existing bathtub or shower. The walls and flooring need to be redesigned to contain water as an opening to the rest of the bathroom is created.

In a walk in shower without doors, the water drainage is of upmost importance. Water should drain with ease, without creating any puddles on the floor. The shower should either be custom tiled or custom fabricated, completely made of solid material. The elimination of a threshold can be accomplished with a sloped floor in the shower area.

It is always away from bathroom lighting, as well as other bathroom fixtures, that the water coming from a doorless walk in shower should be directed. An overhead ceiling mounted shower head holds a better chance of containing the water flow compared to handheld showers which has the natural tendency of spraying water all around.
