Modern Shower Design

Can’t decide whether to install a bathtub or a separate shower as part of your bathroom remodel? Maybe you don’t have to compromise. Consider installing a tub shower combo so you can enjoy the best of both.

Tub shower combos are a great option for families. Bathtubs are essential for bathing small kids, and sometimes the adults need their own relaxing time out. However, showers are obviously the most efficient option when several people need to get ready in the morning. Also, it’s nice to give your guests the option to choose between either a bath or shower.

There are several types of tub shower combos on the market. Some may be installed in a corner and exposed on one end, while others should be surrounded by walls on three sides. Consider the shape and size of your bathroom. You may select a bathtub separately and tile the walls, and then you simply install a shower head and shower curtain or glass doors. It’s also possible to purchase pre-manufactured tub shower combo units that are affordable and quick to install.

The choice of whether to use a shower curtain or install shower doors depends on how much privacy you need and how you prefer to clean your bathroom. Curtains are low maintenance, but they may block natural light from dispersing throughout the bathroom. They are also prone to mold and must be replaced often. There are many types of shower doors, including bi fold shower doors and the more modern frameless shower door. However, you have to stay on top of cleaning or otherwise those nasty soap scum stains will be painfully obvious.

Tub shower combos are a space saving option when it’s not possible to install both a dedicated bathtub and separate shower area. With the turn of a nob or flick of a small button, you can divert the water from the bathtub faucet or shower head while occupying the same space.
