Important Benefits Of Shower Enclosures

Functionality, style and comfort all matter in bathrooms and showers; more than just a place to wash, a shower is a place where we can all truly unwind, meaning it must be both waterproofed, practical and well-designed. Shower enclosures are an ideal solution to balance these three key factors, with a stylish design, waterproofed installation and unique versatility, a glass shower enclosure really does tick all the boxes. Let’s take a closer look at the important benefits of shower enclosures.

Style

A shower enclosure is typically constructed from a modern, elegant glass that can be designed to suit almost any bathroom style. The glass itself can be either frosted, tinted, patterned or clear, to add a unique flair to proceedings, whilst all fittings and fixtures can be similarly provided in a number of different styles and materials to match your bathroom’s aesthetic. A shower enclosure balances simplicity with style to provide a bespoke design that shines.



Space

An important benefit of a shower enclosure is the ability to install it in almost any space in the house, no matter the size. Traditional shower rods are only available in a standard size that may not be suitable for your requirements, whereas shower enclosures can be customised based on the specifications of your chosen space. Better still, installing a glass shower enclosure will make even the smallest of spaces feel light, spacious and less cramped, due to the transparency of glass offering an important illusion of space.

Safety

A key feature and significant advantage of installing a shower enclosure is the increased safety measures provided thanks to significant waterproofing measures. Installing a glass shower enclosure will ensure that all running water remains in a single spot, and doesn’t make its way to your tile flooring which could be a potential slip hazard. Shower enclosures are fitted with waterproof bases that will prevent water runoff and reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls occurring, which is of particular importance for children and the elderly.

Hygiene

A bathroom is naturally a damp, humid environment that can be a breeding ground for germs and microbes; allowing them to thrive could have ramifications on your personal health in the long term, with respiratory issues a common symptom of exposure to mould and mildew. This is a particularly prevalent issue with shower curtains, which can quickly develop spores. Installing a glass shower enclosure will prevent these health concerns from developing into serious problems, with the material itself being a non-porous type, meaning microbes cannot grow on it. Even in the event of dirt or grime build-up, this can simply be wiped down by a cloth and disinfectant due to the smooth surface of the glass.
