Updating the bathroom means that you will inevitably be faced with the prospect of deciding on the layout of the room and the types of fittings you will use. An important part of this, possibly the most important of all, is the positioning of the bath and shower. This includes whether they will be separate units or a combined bath/shower unit.
Not all bathrooms are large enough to accommodate both bathtub and shower enclosures so fortunately there are many options available that can cater to either requirement.
If you have to buy a bath and shower combination you will have to decide on how the shower is going to be enclosed so that water is confined to the tub. This may not always be a problem, particularly for those bathrooms that are designed more as wet rooms.
But most people would like to ensure that the water from the shower is constrained to the bathtub itself. The first option is to use a shower curtain that will hang above the tub and can be drawn when taking a shower. The second option may be to install a shower screen that only comes to the halfway point of the bathtub. This will ensure the water is kept off the floor but will also give you access to the bathtub when using it for a bath.
When using a bath and shower combination you will find that the size of the shower enclosure you require is much less than if you were screening a stand-alone shower because the bottom couple of feet are taken up with the sides of the bath.
Shower units and the accompanying shower enclosures or shower curtains are available in a huge range of designs that will suit whatever design you have picked out for your bathroom. They can look as contemporary or as retro as you feel is fitting for your new room.
