Wetrooms for Shower Lovers

We are a nation of shower lovers, which explains the recent boom in wetrooms.

Did you know that we as a country celebrate National Shower Week? We love our showers so much; we've dedicated a whole week to celebrating our wetrooms and shower cubicles! Showers and wetrooms are, it seems the preferred choice for UK homes. Unlike baths, wetrooms are the ultimate in convenience, and yet, beyond ordinary showers, wetrooms offer that added bit of luxury too. Wetrooms are perfect for quick, short showers and ideal for extravagant long showers, offering the ultimate in flexibility for demanding households.

Wetrooms – Shower Power

National Shower Week also highlights the benefits of showering in wetrooms or shower cubicles over baths. Wetrooms can use far less water than baths (especially if you have quick showers in the mornings). Reducing the amount of water your household uses saves you money (water rates are increasingly costly), and helps the environment by reducing energy output and saving on water (especially important in the summer months when water levels are low). It has been estimated that if everyone in Britain ditched their baths in favour of showering, the country would potentially save 388 billion litres of water every single year.

Wetrooms – A Showering Success

The average bather uses three times the amount of water than the average shower user. But it isn't just the environmental and economic considerations – showering is simply more convenient as well as more hygienic; using wetrooms and showers will leave your hair and skin cleaner – rather than rinsing in stagnating bath water. Wetrooms are simply more suited to our time-starved society. And the fact that 72% of men surveyed by a leading shower manufacturer said they preferred showers to baths shows that the majority of Brits prefer their functionality. For some, wetrooms are the ultimate in stylishness and luxury – often synonymous with city living and sophistication. But wetrooms are also perfect for the elderly or those struggling with an illness or disability. Wetrooms are far easier and safer to use than climbing in and out of a bathtub, and because of the nature of wetrooms – unlike shower cubicles – they are perfect for those confined to a wheelchair. Showers are simply more flexible and convenient; it's no wonder demand for wetrooms across the UK has boomed in recent years as wetrooms are becoming increasingly affordable alternatives to traditional bathroom layouts.
