Whether as a standalone project or part of a complete bathroom remodel, your shower can be just as luxurious as a spa. In today’s post, the full bathroom remodeling contractors at Envy Home Services share the features that you should consider for your luxurious shower remodel.
If you have a bathroom with a limited floor area, you’ll want to make the most out of it. Therefore, your first design consideration is to streamline your bathroom design, starting with eliminating the features that you don’t use. Take your bathtub, for instance. If it’s not being used as often — whether because your daily routine doesn’t allow time for it or you’re trying to keep your utility bills manageable — you should consider a tub-to-shower conversion. The process involves removing the old bathtub from its enclosure and building a shower in its stead. A tub-to-shower conversion opens opportunities to change the shower’s footprint and address plumbing issues, add features like a built-in bench or improve accessibility.
A curbless shower can create a seamless look between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, glass enclosure optional. The choice of flooring material is important because it creates visual continuity. You can choose floor tiles that match the rest of the bathroom, or you can choose a contrasting style to create visual separation. Curbless showers also have the added benefit of being more accessible to individuals who are wheelchair users or who are otherwise unable to step over high thresholds.
If you’re going for a spa-like environment, your shower should have mood lighting too — after all, taking a shower can be just as relaxing as taking long soaks in the bathtub. Custom shower lighting is typically more complex because controls, lighting fixtures and other electrical components have to be water-resistant.
A vertical spa is a custom shower system that typically features body jets in addition to a rainfall shower head. This multiple shower head system creates an experience similar to soaking in a hot tub. The shower heads can be equipped with thermostatic valves that will let you set the water at a precise pressure and temperature.
