Types of Bathroom Showers That You Should Use in 2020
There’s no better feeling than ending the day with a hot bath and a glass of wine. For many people, their bathroom is their space to relax and recenter themselves.
According to a Japanese study, baths and showers are scientifically proven to reduce stress, anxiety, and even help with depression. It is believed that the hot water warming our body temperatures during the evening synchronizes our circadian rhythms, which leads to better sleep patterns and overall mental wellbeing.
Prefabricated Showers
A prefabricated shower has already been made and doesn’t include any customization. Oftentimes, it comes as a single piece that you can install inside your bathroom. Prefabricated showers already have everything you need, such as the walls, doors, shower head and shower fittings. All you have to do is pick the shower that best suits your needs, which saves you a ton of time if you’re not incredibly particular about how your shower looks and operates. This is also a more budget friendly option, and these days there are so many different styles of prefabricated showers that you’ll have plenty to choose from in terms of functionality and appearance.
Thermostatic Shower System
With a thermostatic shower system, you are able to control how hot or cold the water is coming from your shower head, but there’s a big bonus that many of our clients enjoy. Instead of always manually controlling how hot the water is, you have the ability to set your preferred temperature with a built-in thermostat. This makes sure you have a set and consistent temperature coming out of your shower head.
The big advantage about this is that you can get right in without standing to the side shivering if you get it too cold, or burning yourself when it’s too hot. This shower system is very beneficial to children or elderly people who might need extra assistance when hopping in the shower.
Electrical shower system
It doesn’t get much more convenient than this. An electrical shower system is separate from your home boiler or hot water system. It automatically heats the water coming from your system before it even comes out of the shower head.
If you have a hot water heater that takes a long time to get the water warm, and you’re tired of standing outside the tub waiting for it to heat up, this system is for you. Not to mention, it’s more economical when it comes to water usage. This will have an effect on your electric bill, however, so please keep that in mind if you’re considering this option.
Custom Showers
A custom shower is built from scratch. The shower head, walls, siding, door, and floor will be picked by you. If you have a certain level of comfort or circumstance that requires you to heavily customize your shower, our bathroom renovation team can assist you with this!
