Bath Screens - The Flooding Risks
Bath screens are essential if your shower stands over your bath and you want to avoid the devastating impact of a flooded bathroom floor.
Bath screens are essential if you have a shower above a bath. More households opt for showers over their baths because of the shortage of space. As house prices escalated over the last decade, space became a premium, and homeowners had to find increasingly inventive ways of utilising every nook and cranny in their property.
Bath screens mean it's possible to install a shower in your bath and make the most of both worlds: a speedy shower for the mornings, or indulgent bath in the evenings. But without effective
bath screens, your bathroom could be putting your whole house at risk.
Bath Screens: Protecting your Bathroom and your Home
Water can be devastating, as anyone who has suffered a flooded floor will know. Bath screens are one way of ensuring the shower spray doesn't end up all over your bathroom, or worse building up as a wet patch that eventually causes the floor to collapse. Shower leaks can often accumulate on one spot time and time again because of misfitting bath screens or shower curtains – it's crucial you invest in bath screens that keep the water where it belongs – draining down your plughole. There have been countless stories of people who take the need for bath screens for granted, or are lazy when it comes to closing bath screens properly before they shower. As the water accumulates day-after-day on the bathroom floor – especially a laminate floor – there's the very real risk that the water will eventually cause the floor to collapse into the room below. A big hole in your bathroom floor and in the room below can be costly to fix – especially if you don't have house insurance.
Bath Screens for Peace of Mind
Be warned – bath screens are essential if you want to avoid costly mistakes. It doesn't cost much to invest in good bath screens, but the cost of a flood, no matter how small can be astronomical. As well as fixing the floorboards, there have been some cases where baths have literally fallen through the floorboards as the wood becomes weak and sodden because of poorly installed or non existent
bath screens. Rebuilding floors and ceilings, bolstering up the floorboards, re-plastering and painting can become pricey jobs. If your floor needs re-doing then your whole
bathroom suite will have to be lifted up and re-fitted. A big price to pay when it could have all been avoided with the small investment of buying effective, fitted bath screens.
