Pros of having a shower cubicle.

A customer who is just fitting out a bathroom is undoubtedly faced with a certain 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.

Bath or shower?

A customer who is only now fitting out a bathroom faces a bit of a dilemma. Is it better to choose a bath, or is it worth opting for a shower? A shower will certainly suit a smaller bathroom better. However, before making a final decision, it’s worth familiarising yourself with the pros and cons of this solution.

Advantages of shower enclosures

  • Relatively little space required for installation.
  • More compact than a bath.
  • A range of sizes available in an online shop from a reputable brand: www.lazienka-rea.com.pl.
  • Can be installed in alcoves within rooms (including those that need to be built in).
  • Practical corner enclosures, often placed in a bathroom corner; rounded models can offer greater freedom of movement while washing.
  • Space saving isn’t the only plus — a shower helps to save water. It’s estimated that taking a bath uses more water than having a shower.
  • More hygienic: rinsing the body with running water washes away dirt and sweat, which are carried from the shower tray to the drain. When bathing in a bath, impurities in the water accumulate on the sides and bottom.
  • Shower trays available with heights from a few to a dozen or so centimetres.
  • Freestanding shower enclosure can be installed without using a shower tray.

What to look out for when choosing an enclosure

  • Corner models take up little space, and their appearance is extremely stylish.
  • Wall enclosures are positioned against a single wall; such a solution is rarely used in smaller rooms.
  • Recess enclosures are a very good idea for making use of alcoves (either arising from the design or created especially).
  • A shower tray isn’t obligatory — instead, you can opt for sloped tiles set into the floor.
