Not just showers but real elements of design. The protagonist of this article is the walk-in shower, literally \u201centering\u201d a shower area open on at least one side, spacious, practical and above all elegant. Let\u2019s take a look at its characteristics in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a special type of shower with an innovative design, whose main feature is the lack of doors and which generally consists of a single, minimal and elegant glass wall panel. Created for the changing rooms of swimming pools and gyms, over time they have become a real must-have for homes and bathrooms. They can therefore be accessed easily since they do not have an opening or sliding door, a characteristic that therefore differentiates it mainly from traditional showers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk-in shower is not closed on all sides like a shower cubicle, but instead has a fixed glass panel and is open on one or more sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It can be designed in different ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the corner configuration, for example, it is supported on two masonry sides and the third one is a splash-proof glass partition panel. The glass is anchored with U-profiles on the wall or on the floor or, sometimes, fastened to the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designing a large glass wall panel results in a floating type configuration, undoubtedly one of the most spectacular ones, which features a shower area open on the two narrowest sides, to allow entry from two opposite entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we were in the presence of an alcove or an archivolted system, the walk-in shower is ideal for enhancing shapes and architecture. It is a recessed installation that features a single shower wall panel, with entrance from the right or left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ideally, therefore, this type of showers occupies a large area of the bathroom and its width ensures that the splashes of water do not come out from the open side. This increased space also allows you to recreate a sort of intermediate area, featuring niches for towels or bathroom products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The glass for the walk-in shower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass is the main material used to make this type of shower a real element of design. Normally tempered glass is used, attached to exposed metal supports that create a nice contrast. The solution with transparent glass, obviously limescale resistant, gives a feeling of airiness and lightness, since it visually expands the space and allows light to pass through. It is matched with smoked glass or silk-screened glass panels, with satin finish inserts, graphic or written designs, for greater privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The taps.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To keep the essential and minimalist lines of this shower unaltered, dedicated taps will be installed. The feeling of well-being, or the illusion of owning a spa at home, can be enhanced by a waterfall or rainfall shower head, or even with multifunctional shower heads that offer nebulisation, aromatherapy and chromotherapy using LED lighting, for a multisensory relaxation experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what about the shower tray?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the walk-in solution, the shower tray can be large and can be made of any shape and material. A low profile shower tray, just a few centimetres high, perhaps in contrasting colour and material to be easily identified, is absolutely recommended. But, without a doubt, the flush floor type is the perfect liaison for the minimal and modern design of these showers. A walk-in shower flush with the floor requires a drain channel to be mounted in screed and a slight slope to allow the water to drain quickly. The absence of the step and the floor, seamless with the rest of the bathroom, enhance its beauty and elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walk-in also means \u201caccessible\u201d. The elegance of clean lines, a minimal design, the illusion of having a wider and brighter room are combined with the most interesting aspect to be considered; that of accessibility. The absence of doors and the installation of a low profile shower tray or, better, flush with the floor, make the walk-in shower the right choice for people with limited mobility; a practical and comfortable solution also for those who assist them in getting into the shower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple and practical access, easy cleaning and maintenance, convenience, elegance and lightness will make the walk-in shower the focal point of the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
