What to Look for in a Shower System

With a shower remodel, you can get a shower space configured for exactly the way you use it. Of course, because any shower system is about looks as well as functionality, a shower remodel should put a priority on including fresh design features. Fortunately, in today’s home remodeling industry, homeowners have a wealth of functional and design options to consider when undertaking a shower installation project. Replacing a shower or converting a bathtub is a great way to improve your bathroom so that it works better for you. Not only are these projects more affordable than full bathroom remodels, but they also offer numerous advantages compared to outdated shower systems. If you’re thinking about embarking on one of these projects, be sure you get the most value for your investment by looking for the following:

Custom Design Options

The most exciting benefit of a new shower is the contemporary look it can add to your bathroom. Avoid cookie-cutter shower styles and opt for a custom design that features your choice of wall surround, showerhead, basin height, and accessories like shelving and soap caddies.

Trims

This is the hardware that delivers the spray function or functions you want to experience.

• Showerheads – Whether single or multi-function, these are great for rinsing and massaging.
• Handshowers – These options can be used for any area of the body, and are ideal for bathing pets and cleaning your shower space.
• Rain showerheads – Choose this option if you want a relaxing, spa-like experience.

Shower Valves

Depending on the type of shower experience you prefer, you can power and control the spray with:

• Pressure-balancing valves – These all-in-one solutions allow you to turn the shower on and off, as well as control water temperature, with one handle.
• Thermostatic manual valves – These options automatically maintain your desired temperature setting and are suitable for all applications.
• Thermostatic digital valves – Offering the ultimate in design and performance, these valves feature a digital interface with control options for music, lighting, and steam.

Low-Maintenance Materials

Modern shower systems are protected from mold and mildew growth by antimicrobial technology. This makes them very easy to clean, requiring only a quick rinse with a mild soap and warm water. Say goodbye to the heavy scrub brush and harsh chemicals!

Safety Features

The latest design trends for showers feature a low threshold basin, which is not only stylish but also safer because it eliminates the need for stepping over a high tub wall. Walk-in showers are fantastic solutions for homeowners who are aging at home or have mobility limitations and are looking for a way to bathe more safely and independently.
