Benefits of Ready-Made Shower Cubicles for Small Bathrooms
Just because you have a small bathroom space, doesn’t mean that you’re limited in options when it comes to the design. Innovative concepts and space-saving installations allow you to optimise every inch of your bathroom without compromising on style and function. One great option for a smaller bathroom is a ready-made shower cubicle. If you’re unfamiliar with the concept, then read on to find out why this is the best shower solution for a small bathroom.
What is a ready-made shower cubicle?
The ready-made shower cubicle, also known as a prefabricated shower unit, is a factory-made option which comes with all the necessary parts. It’s simple to assemble, and the plug-in-and-play design means you don’t have to worry about lots of expensive labour and construction, or the cost of additional materials.
What are the benefits of ready-made cubicles?
You can opt for a custom-made shower for a smaller bathroom, but there are so many reasons why a ready-made shower cubicle is a better fit. Here’s a look at why you might want to consider the ready-made rather than the custom option.
1. Space optimisation
With a smaller bathroom, every inch of space counts, which is why the space-optimising ready-made shower cubicles are first choice. These are an all-in-one bathroom solution that includes built-in showerheads and faucets, with some designs incorporating a seat. These showers are available in a range of shapes and sizes, with corner units a particularly great option for maximising available space. If you have quite an unusual bathroom shape, then try a shower unit with a sliding door as this frees up floor space.
2. Better safety
The ready-made shower comes with enhanced safety features that are standard across all models. These have to meet rigorous health and safety requirements, so you know you’re getting a safe installation. The shower cubicles have a water-tight base to ensure not a drop of water gets out of the cubicle, making the rest of the bathroom that much safer. The tempered glass of the shower cubicle means that if the glass is broken, it won’t shatter into sharp shards.
3. Customisable features
While the ready-made shower comes as a set unit, there are so many available features that you can customise to your requirements. The shape and size of these shower units vary quite extensively, but there are also other space-saving features you can consider. Among these are the incredible space-optimising features such as fold-down seats, integrated storage, and removable shelving for the perfect compact shower.
4. Easy installation
If you’re under time constraints with building your small bathroom, then the ready-made shower units are the perfect solution. All the required components are sent directly through, with a complete list of installation instructions. If you’re good at DIY, then you don’t need to hire professionals to install the shower, saving on hassle and costs.
5. Enhanced durability
The factory-made shower units are crafted under rigorous conditions, with industry standards implemented. They are made from high-quality, durable materials that will last you for years. As completely durable shower units, you won’t need to renovate your bathroom again in the near future as you have a shower that is built to last.
6. Increased energy efficiency
Energy efficiency and water-saving measures are now standard in the building industry, and fortunately the ready-made shower units come with great energy efficiency ratings. You can expect low-flow shower heads and additional energy-saving features that save you on long-term costs. The shower units themselves are being constructed using sustainable materials as well.
7. Easy maintenance
All the water is restricted to the shower cubicle, it doesn’t spread into the rest of the bathroom which makes cleaning up simple and easy. Unlike shower curtains that build up mildew, shower cubicles are easy to wipe down and require much less upkeep. The tempered glass is also impervious to scratches and cracks, so it looks great no matter what.
8. Better hygiene
With the shower cubicle watertight, the bathroom is kept dryer which decreases the risk of bacterial growth on the walls and floors. This mould and mildew can end up damaging your bathroom and also pose serious health concerns. The glass enclosure of a ready-made shower unit drastically reduces this, particularly as it also has a non-porous surface. You just need a quick spray with a disinfectant to make the bathroom sparkle.
