Everything You Need to Know About Shower Types

1. Shower Kits  

Standard shower kits generally include a base, shower doors, and wall panels.
A wide range of models and shapes are available on the market. Here are a few examples:

• Round showers
• Square showers
• Rectangular showers
• Neo-angle showers

Shower kits are an economical choice and require minimal work, making them a quick and convenient option for installation.

2. Walk-In or Italian-Style Showers 

Italian-style showers are primarily characterized by the absence of a raised edge or base. The drain is built directly into the floor, creating a seamless and uniform look throughout the bathroom.

These showers pair beautifully with walk-in doors or fixed glass panels, offering a sleek, modern design. Available in a variety of colors, sizes, and glass textures, they allow you to personalize your bathroom to suit your style.

While this type of shower requires more extensive renovations and typically comes at a higher cost, the results are well worth it. You'll enjoy a bathroom with an elegant, modern, and timeless design.

3. Shower-Bath Combos  

Ideal for small bathrooms, the shower-bath combo maximizes space by combining a bathtub and shower in one functional area. Easy to maintain, it’s perfect for the needs of the whole family.

Installing a shower-bath combo involves some renovation work, but nothing too complex. It’s also generally more affordable than installing a separate bathtub and shower.

4. The Wet Room

Also known as an open-concept bathroom, a wet room is a fully waterproof space where the shower is not enclosed. In other words, there is no clear separation between the shower and the rest of the room. The entire floor is tiled and sloped toward a central drain to allow water to flow properly.

A wet room is a great way to make the most of a small bathroom. Its installation is more complex and requires significant work, but this option allows you to fully customize your relaxation zone.

How Can I Customize My Shower ? 

There are many ways to personalize your shower according to your preferences and needs. Here are a few elements that can make your shower routine even more enjoyable:

• • Shower fixtures: From thermostatic valves to pressure-balanced systems, rainfall showerheads to body jets there's something to suit every need and taste.
  • Shower niches: Need more storage in your bathroom? Built-in shower niches are a great way to keep all your products within easy reach.
  • Wall panels or coverings: Want to finish your shower walls with something other than ceramic tiles? Wall panels are a stylish and easy-to-install option. Available in a wide range of colors and finishes, they are also low maintenance.

What Should I Consider Before Buying a New Shower ? 

• Available space: Make sure to assess the space you have for your new shower layout. Don’t forget to verify that your plumbing system is compatible with the shower model you're considering. When in doubt, consult a professional to avoid costly mistakes.
• Renovation budget: Some types of showers require more extensive installation work. Be sure to factor this into your overall budget.
• Accessibility: If you or a family member requires additional support or mobility accommodation, choose a shower that meets those accessibility needs.

Each type of shower offers unique benefits — from saving space to boosting comfort, performance, and visual appeal. Whether you prefer a minimalist setup or a spa-like ambiance, there's a model that fits your space, budget, and lifestyle.
Make your shower a fully customized moment of relaxation.
