Protect Your Shower
As opulent as this shower renovation may appear to be, homeowner and design blogger Angela of Unexpected Elegance refers to it as a “budget makeover.” She insists that it didn’t cost a lot of money . This stunning construction included more than 80 cartons of self-installed tile.
Using a moisture barrier makes it simpler to keep the water in the shower & away from the subflooring, which is a key problem with any shower makeover. Waterproofing gives an essential layer of defence on top of the cement, ensuring that moisture won’t damage it but also allowing moisture to travel through to the floor if it gets behind the tile.
Angela utilised Schluter Kerdi, an elastic plastic that is cut with scissors and is placed to the cement board using non-modified thin-set mortar, much like a professional tiler would.
Increase Lighting With Glass Wall Doors
A borderless glass door will assist brighten a bathroom if there is a window in the shower by evenly dispersing natural light around the space. Blogger Jenny from Evolution of Style visited a friend’s home one day and took pictures of the bathroom’s unusual three-sided corners frameless shower doors.
The walls of frameless showers are made of thick tempered glass that is fastened together with metal clips. They require no wooden framing. If you only want a frameless shower door, you can purchase the entire glass enclosure. Frameless shower systems are typically significantly more costly than framed showers, so be prepared to pay for this opulent alternative.
Complete Your Shower
When space is at a premium, installing a corner shower is the best option. But what if the area is extremely constrained, like in a little house? Think about installing a sliding door on a qtr corner shower like the one Tiffany Blue Eyes showcased.
A great characteristic of rounded corner shower enclosures is that the doors slide along tracks rather than swinging outward. This prevents potential door blockage design issues because they don’t exist. Furthermore, there is no possibility of the door breaking because it is made of acrylic.
Raise The Roof To Improve Airflow
Showers and other enclosed spaces prevent water and are prone to the growth of mould and mildew. One strategy for solving the issue is to use bathroom exhaust fans. However, fans are not always efficient and consume electricity.
A better solution is to improve airflow at the ceiling level. Malboeuf Bowie Architecture removed the shower roof to expose the space to natural light and ventilation for this upscale residential bathroom renovation in Seattle’s Greenwood neighbourhood.
How To Connect A Tub And A Shower
You run the danger of creating visual disorder if you have a filled tub and shower in the same space. For instance, tiles in a shower would look out of place next to a smooth acrylic tub surround.
For a cohesive appearance, try matching the materials. Reena Sotropa’s lovely bathroom design skillfully integrates an adjacent shower enclosure with a generously sized bathtub. Sotropa skillfully unifies the two by utilising white tile for both the showers and the tub surrounds.
Get Rid Of The Shower Door
Consider removing the shower door totally when remodelling your new shower to follow yet another opulent trend. By skipping the typical shower door, a smooth entrance is created.
If your shower is spacious and has adequate drainage, leaving the door open will give it a spa-like feel. Glass panels that reach the ceiling or other three-quarter wall choices can still be used to divide the rest of the bathroom. Showers without barriers are a luxurious extravagance.
