What Is A Walk-In Shower?

The term walk-in shower is used regularly by many people, that don’t fully understand exactly what a walk-in shower is. Some think a walk-in is a shower enclosure that is low to the floor, some think it’s a wetroom, and some think it’s a mixture of both. So what actually is a walk-in shower?

A walk-in shower enclosure is unlike most other shower enclosures as the enclosure is completely free of doors allowing you to just walk-in to the showering space. The walk-in shower enclosure consists of a shower tray, which may be installed to floor level or raised from the floor depending on how the plumbing can be installed, and a glass panel to deflect and contain the water within the shower tray.

Walk-in showers are available in a vast number of sizes to suit most bathroom spaces. This is due to the vast range of shower tray sizes and the different size glass available.

A walk-in shower is a stylish and unobtrusive. Their door-free design doesn’t impact on other bathroom fittings. If you love nothing more than an open and spacious showering experience, then a walk-in shower is an investment that will pay dividends, providing a truly luxurious and indulgent showering experience. You could say, a walk-in shower has the look of a wetroom but uses a shower tray instead of tiled floor.
