Mountain Style Walk In Shower

As we have seen in many design ideas lately, open floor plans are all the trend, and now bathrooms have taken that trend on with a little creative imagination. 

For instance, if you plan to remodel your bathroom. Large walk-in showers are prominent in the remodeling world right now. A walk-in shower creates an open floor plan feel with a seamless transition from this space to the rest of the bathroom. Walk-in showers often offer more versatile fixtures like seating, steam room, or even large freestanding soaking tubs.

Walk-in showers provide the appeal of a relaxing minimalist bathroom, with the safety of safer access for the elderly and children.

Here are 5 things to consider when remodeling your bathroom.

  • 1.) Shower Sizes -  Depending on the initial size of your bathroom, these may be size options to consider 32″ x 32″

  • 34″ x 34″

  • 36″ x 36″

  • 42′ x 36″

  • 48″ x 36″ 

  • 48″ x 48″

  • 60″ x 36″ 

2.) Position - Placement is a big one. If you are remodeling, it’s best to leave your new shower in the same place as your old one; it would require less plumbing and save you a little coin.

3.) Type of Glass - Some key things to consider are:

  • The most common glass type is 3/8″ or 10mm glass. It is durable, safe, long-lasting, and cost-effective.

  • Usually, an upgrade, you may occasionally see 12mm or 1/2″ glass width. The thought is showers with this glass thickness will have a more opulent look. However, it isn’t any safer than the 3/8″ or 10mm glass. Plus it will add substantial weight and cost.

4.) Showerhead - From a handheld showerhead to a standard wall mounted head, there are many showerheads available today. Talk with your contractor to see if you can find one that meets your needs.

5.) Soap, Shampoo & Body wash- Don’t forget to include a small shelf or two in your walls for placing shampoos, conditioners, gels, etc. Size these shelves to accommodate the tallest bottles.
