Shower Trends

Fall is the perfect time of year for a remodeling project. Think about it--it's not too hot or too cold. The temperature is just right! Are you planning on remodeling your shower? If so, keep reading. Below are some of the hottest trends for showers this year.

Frameless Glass
Shower curtains are not only hard to clean, but they can accumulate mildew and mold. Yuck! Homeowners are leaving their shower curtains behind for frameless glass shower doors. They give any bathroom a modern touch.

Roomier Showers
People are starting to get rid of their bathtub/shower combos and opt for a sleek stand alone shower. Now that the tub is gone, they have more space to work with. That's why extra large showers are in right now.

Shower Heads
In the past, one shower head was more than enough. That is not the case today. Having multiple shower heads in your bathroom will make your bathing experience even better.

Is your shower old, outdated or beyond all repair? If so, it's time for a shower remodel. The pros at Re-Bath of Richmond can completely transform your shower. Call 804-591-1621 today to request a free in-home consultation.

Why Homeowners Opt for Tub to Shower Conversions

For many people, showers are the preferred way to bathe. If you still have a tub/shower combo, what are you waiting for? It's time to convert your tub into a shower. Below are some of the reasons why tub to shower conversions are gaining popularity.

Style
Back in the day, a bathtub/shower combination was all the rage. Today, not so much. Having a stand alone glass enclosed shower is on trend. If you want your new bathroom to look modern and chic, glass shower doors are the way to go.

Safety
As people age, the importance of having a safe home increases. Getting in and out of a traditional bathtub is not exactly safe. In fact, seniors can sustain serious injuries from entering or exiting a tub. Upgrading to a shower with a low threshold can improve the overall safety of your bathroom.

Functionality
Is your bathtub collecting dust? If so, you are not utilizing the space in your bathroom to its fullest potential. Converting your tub into a shower will only increase the functionality of your bathroom.   

Transform your old worn out bathtub into a beautiful DuraBath SSP shower, complete with new shower walls and bases. Showers can be a lot easier for people with mobility issues to get in and out of, when compared to traditional bathtubs.

Design Options For Tub To Shower Conversions

Some people enjoy taking baths, while others prefer showers. In you find yourself in the latter category, it's time to convert your tub into a shower. Below are some of the design options you should consider when making the switch from a bathtub to a shower.

Shower Door or Curtain?
When you upgrade from a tub to a shower, you can either have a glass shower door or a shower curtain. At Re-Bath of Richmond, we carry a variety of finishes and glass patterns. If you opt for a shower curtain, it will give you a little bit more space in the shower. Ultimately, this is a decision that must be made based off of personal preference.

Have A (Shower) Seat
Many aging in place customers opt for tub to shower conversions because it will increase the safety of their bathing experience. A shower seat allows seniors to bathe while sitting down. This can reduce the risk of a slip-and-fall accident.

Converting that old tub to a safe, convenient and easy to clean shower can greatly extend the length of time seniors can stay in their own home. You will have the reassurance of knowing you have the safest and most convenient bath environment possible. Call 804-591-1621 today to request a free in-home consultation.
