Walk In Shower

A walk in shower eliminates the need to step up, or step down to reach the shower. A new type of shower gaining in popularity is a walk in shower without doors. It takes up less bathroom space because there are no frames or door swings to provide space for.


The usage and maintenance of a doorless walk in shower is definitely easier than traditional showers. The possibility of tripping is eradicated by the absence of thresholds which are also highly inconvenient to use. A doorless walk in shower is particularly designed for people who find it difficult to use a confined shower due to their compromised mobility.


Maintaining a walk in shower without doors is easy. Surface care is minimal. There is no comparison if you consider the chore it becomes to clean showers with glass doors, not to mention sliding doors. The additional inconvenience that sliding doors bring, should they get stuck or run off the glides, is another alleviated concern by a doorless walk in shower.


A doorless walk in shower, more often than not, is custom designed. It can either be installed in a corner or used as a replacement to an existing bathtub or shower. The walls and flooring need to be redesigned to contain water as an opening to the rest of the bathroom is created.


In a walk in shower without doors, the water drainage is of upmost importance. Water should drain with ease, without creating any puddles on the floor. The shower should either be custom tiled or custom fabricated, completely made of solid material. The elimination of a threshold can be accomplished with a sloped floor in the shower area.


It is always away from bathroom lighting, as well as other bathroom fixtures, that the water coming from a doorless walk in shower should be directed. An overhead ceiling mounted shower head holds a better chance of containing the water flow compared to handheld showers which has the natural tendency of spraying water all around.

  1. Nice collection of beautiful walk-in showers. I especially like the designs in 2015, much more vivid colors and natural light. I can't wait what they come in 2015. I mean, I really liked the 2015 version of a walk-in showers where you have a shower in your bedroom. It's just jumping off your bed and you're under the shower already.
