Shower panels are almost an essential element of every shower cabin today. They primarily turn the bathroom into a small spa. Showering with them is exceptionally pleasant and relaxing. Besides their functional qualities, they also serve a decorative purpose. With high aesthetics, unique design, and varied color palettes, they give the bathroom a modern look and an elegant character. The original atmosphere of the shower cabin is highlighted by shower panels with LED lighting, and convenience and safety are ensured by panels with a thermostat.
What does a shower panel consist of?
A shower panel is more modern, more complex, and much better equipped than a classic shower tap. It has a particularly compact structure, in which all shower elements are integrated into one whole. The shower panel includes a tap and a set of outlets, which, depending on the variant, can have different functions. The simplest shower panel models are usually equipped with a handset with a hose. Sometimes a rain shower complements them.
More advanced constructions are equipped not only with a handset and a multifunctional sprinkler but also with massage jets. Their advantage is the ability to regulate the strength and type of water stream, allowing you to choose the desired type of massage. When choosing a multifunctional panel, ensure the set includes all elements (hose, handset, rain shower, etc.) so you don't have to select them separately.
Shower panels with a thermostat
This type of shower panel ensures maximum comfort and safety during bathing. Thermostatic taps have heads that regulate the temperature and pressure of the water, and a special lock prevents the temperature from exceeding the desired value. This is particularly important in a home where children use such shower cabins.
Shower panels with a thermostatic tap also protect against temperature fluctuations caused by other devices drawing water in the bathroom. A single shower handset or entire shower panel with a thermostatic tap can also be placed above a bathtub. However, to prevent water from flooding the bathroom, the bathing area must be adequately secured. It's best to attach a special screen to the bathtub and hang a curtain.
Shower panel with hydromassage
A shower panel with a hydromassage function is nothing more than a set, which, in addition to a handset, is also equipped with a rain shower and a set of nozzles emitting water streams at different pressures and adjustable intensities. When purchasing, it's worth paying attention to their number and arrangement. Usually, panels contain four to eight nozzles, mounted on joints or built into the panel. They should be positioned so that water can massage different body parts, providing a relaxing or invigorating effect.
A hydromassage soothingly affects muscle and spine pain, stimulates the senses, improves blood circulation, and assists in fighting cellulite. By appropriately controlling the water stream, you can select the type of massage according to your current needs — from a gentle mist through the soothing touch of enveloping drops to invigorating jets with high concentrated water streams.
A modern shower cabin with an elegant panel only
Shower panels are most often installed flush to the wall. This installation method allows for part of the fittings to be hidden under the tiles, so they do not take up much space and give the cabin an elegant appearance. The most popular panel model is made of stainless steel, but it is important to remember that shower panels are made from various materials. These include aluminum, artificial and natural stone, steel, exotic wood, plastics, or tempered glass. Panels also vary in color and texture.
The unique fitting of cabins with shower panels and a rain shower will emphasize the individual style of any interior, and elegant furniture and appropriately matched sets of bathroom fittings will complete the whole. Thanks to modern and functional equipment, the bathroom will become an important point on the map of home spaces.
A luxurious bathroom is water, light, and sound
The shower space can be arranged luxuriously, using a diverse color range of shower panels, starting from classic chrome, through neutral white, sweet pink, noble gold, bold red, extravagant ultramarine, deep black, or many others from a rich color palette.
An advantage emphasizing the extraordinary character of the shower cabin can be a futuristic panel with atmospheric LED lighting. It will fit perfectly into both classic and modernist bathing space decor, giving it a unique character. It is worth noting that some categories of panels are equipped with radios or MP3 players, which will particularly delight avid music lovers. Multifunctional and high-quality panels with a well-chosen tap will satisfy even the most discerning client and serve for years.
