London Builders: How to Choose a Shower Cabin
Introduction
If you're someone who prefers a refreshing shower to a soak in the bath, a shower cabin might be the perfect solution. Shower cabins are becoming increasingly popular for several reasons. They save water, use less space, and are considered more hygienic because dirt is washed away with flowing water.
Types of Shower Cabins
Before purchasing a shower cabin, you need to decide on the design. There are two main types:
- Open Shower Cabins: These have a partition or door between the existing walls.
- Closed Shower Cabins: These enclose the entire shower area and often come with a roof to prevent steam outflow and reduce condensation. While more comfortable, they are typically more expensive.
Door Options
Shower cabin doors are usually made of glass, which can be transparent, matte, or textured.
- Swing Doors: These require more space.
- Sliding Doors: These save space and are ideal for smaller bathrooms. The more panels, the sturdier the frame.
Choosing the Right Size
Ensure the shower cabin is at least 80 x 80 cm to avoid feeling cramped.
Materials for Shower Trays
The shower tray can be made from various materials, each with its pros and cons:
- Cast Iron: Durable but takes time to warm up.
- Steel: Prone to noise when water hits.
- Ceramics: Can crack but are aesthetically pleasing.
- Marble: Expensive but highly durable and unique.
- Acrylic: Lightweight but may need special support; scratches can be easily fixed.
- Quaryl: A durable acrylic variant that resists damage better.
Key Tray Features
Look for trays that are durable, resistant to scratches, warm up quickly, and have a non-slip surface.
Additional Features
Modern shower cabins often come with added functionalities:
- Vertical Massage: Water jets provide a massage, but require a water pressure of 3-5 atm.
- Contrast Shower: Alternates hot and cold water for a refreshing experience.
- Hydro Massage: Uses jets for a therapeutic effect.
- Chromotherapy: Special lighting for relaxation.
- Turkish Bath: Generates steam with optional aromatherapy.
- Audio Functions: Some cabins include built-in radios and speakers for entertainment.
Installation Considerations
Installing a shower cabin does not require structural changes like tiling or painting. It just involves connecting to the water supply and drainage system, best handled by professionals.
Price and Quality
Prices vary widely, generally reflecting the quality and range of features. Consider your needs and budget to make the best choice.
Choosing the right shower cabin can transform your bathroom and provide a convenient and luxurious showering experience.
