What are the Pros and Cons of Doorless Showers?

Doorless showers are not the latest idea. But it is becoming a bold home decoration trend. If you are interested in this concept, in this article we will discuss the pros and cons of installing a doorless shower in the bathroom.

 

Compared with the traditional bathroom, the roll-in shower should also be equipped with accessories such as freestanding tub with shower, filtered shower head, smart home toilet and freestanding bathroom cabinet. Compared with some traditional shower rooms, doorless, walk-in or roll-in showers have unique advantages.

 

Advantages of a Barrier-free Shower

 

Luxury is a significant advantage of walk-in showers. Doorless showers can bring a modern and luxurious look to your bathroom. The walk-in shower is equivalent to a unique space division for the bathroom, changing the simple dry and wet separation of the space in the past, and it is simply achieving dry and wet isolation. This kind of setting that breaks the integrity brings a more enjoyable and professional experience. Not installing glass doors can greatly reduce installation costs. Before designing a doorless shower, you should consider the location of the hanging bathroom cabinet and built-in toilet.

 

In addition, the color and style of the tap shower head, electric towel dryer and washbasin cabinet with mirror should be consistent with the overall layout of the bathroom.

 

The convenient feature of the doorless shower is that it will not conflict with the bathroom entrance door. Installing doorless showers will create the illusion of more space. Because you do not need to work around the rose quartz bathtub. And no door provides the illusion of more space.

 

Disadvantages of Walk-in Showers

 

In a small bathroom, even if the direction of the shower head is correct and the floor is inclined or the drainage system is properly designed, a small amount of water will still splash on the floor. Under normal circumstances, it is very necessary to ensure a buffer zone of at least 6 to 7 feet on each side. In addition, you should consider half-walls and buck showers to constantly check for flooding. It is necessary to carefully consider your overhead shower head. It is best to choose an overhead shower head to direct the water straight down. To assist or even drain, you should also consider adding two or three drains.

 

The disadvantage of the walk-in shower is that it is easy to expose privacy.

 

One of the advantages of the shower room is that it can control the airflow and keep the shower room warm. The doorless shower has no effect on this. Therefore, if the weather is cold, doorless showers may be a challenge. If your bathroom is equipped with a doorless shower and you are not going to have a complete renovation, it is best to consider a frameless shower door. Although you still have obstacles, frameless glass is the next best option.

 

Before you decide to build a doorless and walk-in shower, please make sure you consider the pros and cons in advance and make the right decision for your space.
