A walk-in shower is a wonderful option to include in your next bathroom remodel. Consider these benefits when deciding whether to remove an old tub and shower combination from your new bathroom design.
Always Warm - Say goodbye to shivering while waiting for the water to warm up. With a walk-in shower, you can turn it on when you're ready to step in, ensuring that the water is just the right temperature.
Safety First -Walk-in showers provide a safer option for those who rely on a walker or a wheelchair to get around. The open and easy-to-access design makes it simple to get in and out, making it a great option for families with small children, elderly individuals, and those with disabilities.
Stay Hygienic - Enjoy a more thorough clean by sitting comfortably on your shower bench while the water covers your entire body. The walk-in design allows for better rinsing and reduces the risk of mold and mildew buildup.
Eco-Friendly - According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, taking a shower uses 10 to 25 gallons of water, compared to taking a bath which can use up to 70 gallons. Opt for a walk-in shower to conserve water and reduce your carbon footprint.
Built to Last - A walk-in shower has fewer parts than a traditional bathtub or shower, which means there are fewer components that could break. With proper maintenance, a walk-in shower can last longer than your current bathroom setup.
Memory Loss Friendly - For those with cognitive challenges and memory loss, changes in water temperature and pressure can make bathing difficult. A walk-in shower, with its open and easy-to-access design, can provide a safer and more comfortable option for those in cognitive decline.
