Bathroom Designer - Choosing the Perfect Shower

At London's quick pace, it is quite possible to not be able to find the time for a nice long soak in a bath before or after a busy day at work. With new and improved showering systems, it is not necessary to sacrifice luxury for ease of use. Nowadays, it is becoming increasingly popular for property owners to replace their bathtubs with walk-in shower installations, shower enclosures, or steam showers A bathroom designer can guide you through the numerous possible shower options that will suit your lifestyle and requirements so perfectly you will not miss your old bathtub.


In the search for a shower that is compatible as well as luxurious, it is necessary to select a unit that will work optimally with your type of plumbing system. A seasoned bathroom designer is used to advising clients on the best products to use for their unique situation. If you are installing a shower in an outhouse or area that isn't supplied by hot water from the main property, a bathroom designer may suggest an instantaneous water heater; should you live in an area of low mains pressure that would not be compatible with a power shower, you may be advised to install a whole house pump or a shower pump to increase the flow rate you can achieve from the shower. Mixer valves not only provide an ergonomic way of selecting the perfect temperature for your shower but also act as a safety device to limit the possibility of scalding from only the hot water supply being selected - your bathroom designer can also specify additional safety devices that would limit the outlet temperature to a specific degree; thesee devices are often used in the commercial sector or in bathrooms that children will be using.


Due to the generally strict confines of London bathrooms, it is sometimes extremely advantageous to install a shower enclosure. It is possible to find compact shower enclosures which have a footprint of around half that of a bathtub. A bathroom designer can provide suggestions for a shower unit that's ideal for smaller spaces. Space-saving sealed enclosures utilise space efficiently, and their installation really opens up the possibilities for other furniture to be specified such as vanity units with pull-out drawers. These enclosures can be custom made to suit the space requirements.


Should limited space not be a concern, work with a professional bathroom designer to get the maximum out of the square footage available with the installation of a luxury shower room. A shower room can either be fully or partially enclosed to provide comfort and privacy. Your designer might suggest other accessories such as multiple shower heads (overhead shower for those times when you desire a spa like rain shower experience, and handheld shower combined with body jets for a quick wash when you might not want to get your hair wet). Steam generators and mood lighting can further enhance your showering experience and create more of a spa like feeling; your own personal haven after a long day in the office. It is a good idea to hire a bathroom designer to create your spa bathroom in order to have a safe and properly tanked (waterproofed) installation, and to specify the required enhanced ventilation systems to prevent mildew growth.


During the design process, your designers will discuss tiling options with you to find materials and colours that work well in your space. Involving a London bathroom designer in your project can help create a shower installation that's both functional and beautiful.
