From bathtub to shower: gain space, style, and comfort

For homeowners with small bathrooms, removing the tub can free up valuable square footage, making the space feel larger and more open. A walk-in shower is designed to open up the bathroom space and Line collection’s frameless fixed, pivot and hinged glass enclosures help to create that light, spacious atmosphere. Glass walls also reflect natural and artificial light, giving the illusion of more space. This is ideal for smaller bathrooms, eliminating the feeling of being enclosed. For smaller spaces that don’t allow swing doors, Easy and Brisa collection’s sliding door systems as well as their fixed and corner panels save space while adding convenience and style. 

Another benefit to a shower is the savings on water. Showers are eco-friendlier, typically using less water than a full bath—an appealing bonus for sustainability-minded homeowners. In the shower, improved flow features, as with the Sensum hand-shower model, ensures receiving the right water pressure but without wasting excess water. 

Smart showers with digital controls, temperature pre-sets, and water-saving features are increasingly the way forward in the bathroom space. With an elegant built in smart shower panel, users can customisetheir preferred settings including temperature and water pressure, while monitoring their water consumption and controlling costs. 

For those with mobility concerns, a walk-in shower is a safe and more accessible solution than a bath. Customise the right shower space for your specific requirements, whether that means flush to floor shower trays, fixed shower bars or built-in seating. It is also useful to install a wider openingwith fixed panels for smooth entry and exit. Access collection offers corner and front panel optionsthat can be installed in different ways to create a seamless and secure shower experience. 

From a design perspective, walk-in showers offer a sleeker, more modern look that instantly elevates the style of your bathroom. For a bold and defined look, add a frame to shower panels. A matt black frame createsan interesting contrast to the transparency of the glass. Brisa offers chrome and matt black frame finishes that add contemporary and stylish design element into the space. The chrome or matt black framecan be paired with additional shower details including hooks, towel bars and handles. 

The shower tray is an important element in shower design. Moder walk-in showers for bathrooms combine elegance and practicality. Terran-N and Pyros shower trays are flush-to-floor shower trays that can be customised to size and create a seamless, spa-like feel in the shower. Terran-N and Pyros are designed ina variety of muted, earth-tone finishes for a sophisticated look that can be tied into the overall bathroom design. The trays are made with Stonex® and have a soft, stone like texture that adds an element of nature into the space and is also anti-slip and easy to clean.
