Alernatives for Shower Stalls

Wet Rooms

• A wet room is a room essentially a giant shower stall with other features built into it, such as a sink or toilet. The room’s floor is sloped, and a grille is placed at the slope’s bottom for draining water. The showerhead is fitted at the room’s opposite end. No shower stall is necessary in a wet room because the entire room is waterproofed.

Doorless Showers

• A doorless shower is similar to a wet room in that a section of the room is waterproofed. With a doorless shower, a partition is built in the room separating the shower from the rest of the room. The doorless shower is usually significantly larger than a standard shower cubicle, which is a disadvantage when space is limited.

Shower Baths

• Shower baths resemble misshapen baths. They often have a door to make it easier to get in and out, rather than the standard sloped sides of a bathtub. Many designs feature a slight curve, which contrasts with the usual straight bath design.

Shower Head Over Bathtub

• A common alternative to a shower stall is fitting a showerhead above an existing bath. This allows the bath to continue normal usage, but gives the option of shower. A curtain rail allows a shower curtain to be pulled around the bath, protecting the room from splashing.
