All bathrooms require the same basic features, but more quaint bathrooms are challenging to accommodate. Showers for these spaces must offer enough room to bathe while fitting into a smaller area. You can incorporate different shower features by following careful strategies.
At Benjamin Franklin, we want all our clients to get the best designs for their small bathrooms. Our plumbers can install any shower design and features you want. We can also get creative with these cozier spaces. Continue reading to learn about all of our plumbing services we offer at Benjamin Franklin–The Punctual Plumber.
The Best Shower Features For Small Bathrooms
During a consultation, we discuss shower features for small bathrooms and show you plumbing products that complement your shower and meet your demands.
Glass Enclosures
Glass shower enclosures create an airy feel in small bathrooms. The glass panels are durable, low-maintenance, and easy to clean. Natural light flows into your shower, maximizes visibility, and achieves a more roomy appearance. Most clients choose glass enclosures to modernize their home and increase their home’s market value.
The tempered glass won’t shatter and enhances safety. The glass contains water and is mold-resistant.
Shower Tiles
Shower tiles protect the walls and floors from moisture. We can create mosaic designs that are aesthetically pleasing. Alternating tile colors adds character to the shower. We’ll add waterproofing and tiles that manage moisture.
Handheld and Flexible Showerheads
Handheld and flexible showers save space in smaller showers. Open showers are perfect for multiple showerheads for you and your partner. High-powered showerheads can improve your shower experience.
Grab Bars
Aging in place requires safety features in your shower. Grab bars help seniors remain stable in the shower and avoid falls.
Shelves and Built-Ins
Shelves and built-in niches organize haircare and body washes, saving space and keeping them off the shower floor.
Dual Function Bench Seats
Dual-function benches improve comfort and store hygiene products. They also give seniors a seat inside the shower to promote better hygiene. Fold-down benches save space and fold away when not in use.
Glass Shower Panels
Glass shower panels are tempered and shatterproof. They don’t take up too much room, and the glass panels are safe for everyone to use. We can use them for open shower designs and as barriers between bathroom fixtures.
Curved Shower Frames
Curved shower frames define walk-in shower concepts. They can separate the shower from surrounding fixtures and improve the flow of the room.
Tinted Shower Screens
Tinted shower screens offer a layer effect and visual depth. They create a focal point for the bathroom that is subtle and not overpowering.
Strategic Bathroom Lighting
Strategic bathroom light enhances your quaint design. LED strip lighting provides ambient light and a soft glow. We can install it underneath a floating vanity for visual effects.
Choosing a Shower Design
We can create a shower design that includes all the features you desire. Let’s examine some shower concepts that are beneficial for small bathrooms.
Alcove Showers
An alcove shower is a space-saver and fits within three surrounding walls. A fourth shower wall isn’t enclosed and offers an open space for easier entry. These shower designs are compatible with glass door installations or shower curtains. However, you can leave it open if you install floor drains. Our plumbers can configure these showers to offer a wider, yet compact, shower.
Corner Walk-In Showers
These space-saving showers are perfect for tiny bathrooms. We install these corner showers in less frequently used spaces while maximizing the functionality of surrounding bathroom sections. The shower layout accommodates a glass door or a completely open entrance. Floor drains manage water and moisture.
Doorless Walk-In Showers
Doorless walk-in showers are an open concept and save space. You’ll avoid door clearance obstacles and maintain visual flow in your bathroom. Our plumbers show you the best placement for the shower concept, including where to install your showerhead and fixtures.
Frameless Showers
We install seamless glass panels for frameless designs. They offer a sleek design with an almost invisible progression of glass panels. The frameless glass is safe and durable for bathroom designs.
Is a Wet Room Better For Your Space?
We can modernize small bathrooms by designing a wet room. The open floor plan doesn’t require enclosures. We will waterproof the entire space, preventing mold and mildew. The sloping floors optimize drainage, and they keep the floors drier. The wet room design is seamless, and it gives the illusion of a larger room.
