Benefits of having a shower enclosure

Bath or shower?

A customer who is just fitting out a bathroom faces a dilemma. Is it better to choose a bath, or is it worth opting for a shower enclosure? In a smaller bathroom, a shower will certainly be a better fit. However, before making a final decision, it’s worth reviewing the pros and cons of this option.

Advantages of shower enclosures

• Requires relatively little space for installation.
• More compact than a bath.
• A range of sizes available in the online shop of a reputable brand: www.lazienka-rea.com.pl.
• Can be installed in recesses within rooms (including those requiring built-in framing).
• Practical corner enclosures, often positioned in a bathroom corner; rounded models can provide greater freedom of movement while washing.
• Space-saving isn’t the only plus — a shower helps save water. It is estimated that taking a bath uses more water than having a shower.
• Greater hygiene: rinsing the body with water washes away dirt and sweat, which are carried from the shower tray to the drain. During a bath, impurities from the water accumulate on the sides and bottom.
• Shower trays available with heights from a few to around a dozen centimetres.
• Freestanding shower enclosure can be installed without using a shower tray.

What to consider when choosing a shower enclosure

• Corner models take up little space and are very aesthetically pleasing.
• Wall-mounted enclosures are positioned along one of the walls; this solution is rarely used in small bathrooms.
• Recessed enclosures are an excellent way to utilise alcoves (whether arising from the design or created to measure).
• Using a shower tray isn’t obligatory — instead, you can opt for sloped tiles set into the floor.
