Is it worth embedding showers in the floor? Expert advice

In-floor showers are becoming increasingly popular in modern bathroom design. UAportal has prepared a number of advantages and disadvantages of this choice.

Advantages of a floor-standing shower enclosure

• Accessibility

Floor-standing showers facilitate easy access for people with limited mobility or disabilities. They provide convenience and safety during everyday bathing.

• Spaciousness

These showers have enough space for easy movement and comfortable bathing without feeling cramped. People can enjoy a shower without feeling uncomfortable with the confinement. This is because such a space can be arranged in any size because it does not have to fit into the framework of the pallet on which it stands.

• Design flexibility

Floor-standing showers can be customized to suit your personal design preferences. A variety of materials, colors, and functions allow you to create a unique and personalized space.

Disadvantages of a floor-standing shower enclosure

• Water splashing

Floor-standing showers have the potential disadvantage of not providing the same insulation as enclosed showers or bathtubs. This can lead to water splashing outside the designated shower area.

• Cold floors

In the bathroom, floor-mounted showers can become cold due to direct contact with the floor, especially during the cold season. However, the use of insulating mats or underfloor heating can solve this problem.

• The complexity of modifications

Unlike enclosed showers, floor-standing showers do not allow for easy modifications to their design. To do this, you will have to change the design of everything that is in the middle of such a space if you want to replace the floor in the bathroom or move the drain.
