Walk in showers reduce the amount of space they occupy in a bathroom and provide an excellent shower experience. Not only is the design effective with regard to space, but it also adds a fashionable look to the entire bathroom.

Ease of Use

Walk in showers are easy to use and maintain as well, mainly because of their compact and elegant shape. They are a unique investment because once the initial installment is completed it is easy to just enjoy them going forward. They are very easy to clean. Even if they do need an occasional cleaning, the time spent doing it is considerably less. Less time cleaning means more time enjoying a new shower. Any cleaning time reduced is time added right back into the homeowner’s leisure time.

Custom Style

Such showers are also equipped with shower enclosures. Walk in showers in San Antonio are available in a variety of styles and finishes. Some want curtains or cabinet enclosures, and some want sliding or opening doors. These come in different varieties and are available according to the customer’s needs. This makes these showers even more popular as more and more people find them much more comfortable to enter and exit. Ease of use makes the walk-in shower an enjoyable bathing experience.

Two Main Types

Shower enclosures can basically be installed in two different ways. The first method is more expensive, but it also adds to the shower design and provides a luxurious shower experience. It is done by installing the shower directly on the floor of the bathroom, commonly called wet room. The drain slope is customized and the floor often a type of tile or similar material. The second method is comparatively cost-effective. It includes installing the shower cubicle around the boundaries of the existing walk-in shower in side-mounted trays. This whole process is much more cost effective because it reduces the cost of the complete installation and also reduces the time required to install the shower enclosures.
