Which shower wall to choose?

The trend of minimalism has even reached the bathroom. More and more people consciously give up the classic cabin with doors, installing a shower wall in its place. In this way, an original walk-in shower cabin is created. It can be installed in any conditions, working great in both large and small bathrooms. It is a minimalist element that can create a truly interesting arrangement of this space. In other words, the shower wall is one of the hallmarks of a fashionable, almost Scandinavian-style minimalist bathroom!

What exactly is a shower wall?

To put it simply, the shower wall is tempered glass, installed in an aluminum profile with a bracket. The wall can be installed directly on the tiles on the bathroom floor or on a shower tray. This way, a specific type of shower cabin is created, referred to as walk-in, which means it does not have shower doors. The lack of doors that need space to open allows for the installation of the shower screen anywhere, even in the corner of the room.

Shower walls turn out to be an excellent solution useful in small bathrooms, where there is no space for hinged glass doors. They successfully replace the classic shower cabin. It's worth adding that a walk-in shower cabin means greater accessibility for people with reduced mobility. The transparent glass often positively influences the aesthetics of the interior. So, is this a practical, comfortable, and aesthetic solution? Oh, definitely yes!

Are glass shower walls safe?

While few doubt the safety of using full cabins with doors, questions arise regarding shower walls. Upon seeing a pane of glass, some wonder what will happen if the tempered glass shower wall shatters. Well, the same as with any other tempered glass - it will shatter into small pieces with blunt edges. This means it is a much safer material than some may think!

Importantly, the probability of breaking tempered glass during normal use of the shower is really minimal. On top of that, the thickness of the tempered glass used to produce shower walls ensures maximum safety. The shower screen is a pane that is highly resistant to the frequent occurrence of temperature differences, the action of detergents, and accidental impacts during bathing. Thus, you can use it without worries.

Easy cleaning of the shower wall

If you've ever had to painstakingly clean the residue that forms on the walls and doors of the shower cabin, we guarantee you will love the technological solutions commonly used in the production of shower walls. Most of the available glass shower walls are equipped with a clear-to-the-eye easy clean coating (that's the technology we use in our products), which makes it significantly quicker to clean the glass surface.

This coating reduces the formation of streaks, which means that soap or limescale deposits do not appear on the wall. All you need to do after bathing is rinse the wall with water and, if necessary, wipe it with a soft cloth. This will help maintain perfect cleanliness of the wall with minimal effort on your part.

What to remember when choosing shower walls?

The most important thing not to forget when choosing a shower wall is the size of your bathroom. In the offers of bathroom solution manufacturers, you will find shower walls of various sizes, from really small ones that can cover a small nook to very large shower screens allowing for ample shower space. To ensure comfortable bathing in a small bathroom, it is worth building a cabin with a fixed side wall. This configuration will allow for rational use of every centimeter, which is particularly important in small bathrooms.

All shower screens are characterized by high durability, but they may vary in color or degree of transparency. You can choose a variant where the tempered glass is frosted with various patterns or completely transparent. Choose a glass variant that will make you feel comfortable while showering. For many, frosted glass, slightly milky, is a great idea, but of course, there are no strict rules.

When it comes to shower walls, you can install the tempered glass pane directly on the floor or on the shower tray. When creating walk-in cabins, it is also worth considering the color of the profile on which the shower wall will be placed. Currently, there is a really wide range of color options on the market, so if you dream of gold or black fittings in your bathroom - you will definitely find them with ease. This will make it easy to match the cabin to the bathroom decor.
