subject: Not Your Grandmas Shower Room [print this page] If you think of a shower room and you immediately envision a claw foot bathtub, with a circular rod hanging above it that held the shower curtain, you need to step out of the past and into todays shower room.
In yesterdays shower room you were likely to see a plastic curtain stopping the water from the shower head from getting all over the room. Then the glass door was invented and many of the bathing cubicles had these items installed to stop the water from being splashed all over the room. Today the doors that cover the cubicles come in different shapes, different sizes, and they hang in many different ways.
In the past if you saw a door on a shower room it was more than likely going to be a sliding door. There would be a track system and the glass panels sat in the track and you opened and closed the panels by sliding the large glass panes from one side to the other. You can still get these items if that is the kind of closure you want I your shower room. You can also get glass panels that hang from hinges, and panes that are made to pivot, and cubicles with a corner entry, and glass panels that fold into a bi-fold door, and do not forget the quadrant version.
In the past these items were designed strictly with functionality in mind. They were practical and served their purpose well. Today theses items are practical and serve their purpose well, but they are also beautiful, and they are designed to enhance the interior of the room. The shower room is no longer just a place to go and clean the dirt from your body. It is now a place to relax and indulge your senses. It is a place to escape the hustle, and bustle, and just allow your mind and body to rejuvenate.
These rooms are now luxurious if that is what the customer likes, or they can be quite simple in design. The only limit you will find in the design and decoration is in your mind, and of course in your wallet. You can spend just a small amount of money creating one of these sanctuaries, or you can spend large amounts of money creating one. All of the decisions are yours to make.
One of the most fashionable, yet beneficial items, that is installed in this area of the home are the skylights in the ceiling. The skylights will bring natural light into the room and will allow you to save money on your utility costs. They also create a beautiful soft glow as the morning sun begins to brighten the sky above your home.
Another thing that many people are starting to desire in their baths is marble. A lot of people are placing marble countertops in this area of the home instead of ceramic tile. The marble and granite is less likely to be broken easily, but these products are quite a bit more costly to install.
A shower room was once a place where you went to get clean and nothing more. Todays shower room is designed to be luxurious, beautiful, and enticing, and the people at ShowerLux have created top of the line products to use in this room.
