Terri Ramsey Beavers Is it time you invested in some shower upgrades? Below are a few worthwhile ways to upgrade your bathroom shower.
Switch to an electric shower
If you haven’t already got an electric shower installed in your bathroom, this could be the first worthy upgrade to consider. Electric showers can maintain a more constant temperature and a more constant pressure than regular showers. This can guarantee much more comfortable showers. You can compare some of the best electric showers on the market here at https://www.homebuilding.co.uk/buying-guides/best-electric-showers.
Trade the shower curtain for a screen
Shower screens provide a much more solid barrier. They are also much easier to clean than shower curtains. On top of this, their transparency can make a small bathroom feel more open. Shower screens can come in a few different styles which you can check out here in this guide.
Add some shower shelving
Shelving in your shower could provide convenient access to shower products like soap and shampoo. You could opt for glass shelves, plastic baskets, metal caddies, or even recessed shelves. Some shelving can be stuck on, while other forms of shelving can be screwed into the wall for added security. Consider which style is best suited to your bathroom.
Switch to a walk-in shower
Instead of showering in a bathtub, you could consider switching to a walk-in shower. Walk-in showers are more accessible for those with disabilities and can also make showering more comfortable and safer than standing in a tub. Of course, not everyone has space for a separate bathtub and walk-in shower in their bathroom, so you may have to choose between the two of them.
Install shower panels on walls
While many people love the ornate appearance of tiles, they can develop grubby grouting over time, which can be hard to clean. Shower panels are plastic panels that don’t contain any grouting. They can be easily wiped down and are ideal for those that want a low-maintenance wall option. One big benefit of shower panels is that they can come in a variety of styles including panels that look like natural stone or wood. You can even buy panels that resemble tiles. This guide at https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/showerpanels.htm explains how to install shower panels.
Install a water softener
If you live in a hard water area, you could find that your shower head regularly gets scaled up with limescale. A water softener can help prevent limescale build-ups and could be worth installing. There are specialist plumbers as found at https://secondopinionplumbingaz.com/ that can install water softeners for you.
Switch to a dual head shower system
Dual-head showers give you the option to switch between a handheld shower and an overhead fixed shower. A handheld showerhead can come in use when cleaning your shower, while the fixed shower can be useful for washing your hair. Many designs also allow you to operate both at the same time.
