4 Advantages of Shower Cubicles Over Bathtubs for Small Spaces
Should you install shower cubicles or tubs? Read on to discover why the first option is better for small bathrooms. Although both offer spaces to cleanse and relax, when it comes to small bathrooms, space-saving options always work better.
- Use less space
Let’s start with the biggest advantage. Floor space in a small bathroom is limited. Few tiny tubs are comfortable enough to provide a functional and relaxing wash space. A tub has the one advantage of offering space to recline for a relaxing cleansing experience, but only if it is large enough. And here’s the issue: for it to be large enough, you need more floor space. If the bathroom is already snug, it can be difficult to fit a larger tub. With shower cubicles designed for standing up, you can enjoy a spacious enclosure for optimal comfort, which still takes up less space than a tub.
- Easy to maintain
Although both options are easy to maintain, shower cubicles win in terms of cleaning. After every bathing experience, a tub normally needs to be cleaned. You also have to wash out residue immediately after bathing. With a shower, you can cleanse and finish up without having to rinse the space, wipe it clean or remove grime. Cleaning can be done once to twice weekly, and it entails the application of a light detergent and letting the spray of water rinse away build-up. Simply wipe down and you have a sparkling clean wash space.
- Warmer bathing area
Unless enclosed, tubs are exposed to cold air. This means the water cools down quickly and you have to use more warm water to retain the cosy and relaxing environment. This is not the case with shower cubicles. The heat stays inside the enclosure, and you’re protected from cold air, making for a pleasant cleansing experience, whether it is winter or summer.
- Less water usage and lower cost of ownership
Tubs can be expensive and require wet trades for proper installation. The all-in-one units from GEZA are easy to install, don’t take up a lot of space, and are durable because of the materials used in manufacturing the enclosures.
