Over-sized Showers, Protective Coating on Glass Doors, or Completely Skipping the Doors
As Arizona custom home builders of Arizona luxury homes we pay attention to detail while designing shower systems with our customers. Shower areas have grown over the years and are increasingly becoming a place in custom homes that deserve more recognition, especially the master bath. It’s out with the old and in with the new when it comes to shower systems. The small shower stall that cause you to bump your elbows against walls are definitely out as well as the fragile, obscured bypass doors.
On the other hand,
- Bigger is better with shower spaces,
- Frameless shower doors constructed with weighty glass,
- Various spray systems,
- Snail showers,
- Shower sitting areas,
- Coated glass for easy cleaning, and
- An enormous array of finishes for the fixtures.
Luxurious showers are arguably a symbol of excellence and comfort. Bigger is better indeed with showers; for instance, some are designed so that doors are deliberately left out of design. Then there are those built with a spiral-type shape, again eliminating the necessity of shower doors. Designing a shower without a shower door eliminates the dreaded cleaning associated with glass shower doors. Although many of today’s shower doors are available with a protective coating that prevent the appearance of permanent spots, soap scum and stains that accumulate over time on glass shower walls and doors.
As Arizona custom home builders, we have found that today’s shower doors are made with much heavier and thicker glass than in the past. With heavier, thicker glass, metal frame supports are eliminated. By eliminating the metal frames, one can see directly through the glass and the beauty of the tile work . These new shower doors are also capable of being opened by pushing into the shower door in, or pulling the door open, creating enormous versatility and effortlessness in use. On tub/shower combinations, also available today are French doors absent of frames, creating that WOW EFFECT, when both doors can be opened to easily climb into and out of a shower/tub combination.
Shower stalls have made a transition from simply stalls to more prominent features within the master bathroom. As mentioned, they’re much larger creating lots of room to enter and/or exit with comfort and ease. Multiple sprayers are also added. Anything from rain shower-heads fixed above to standard sprayers from the walls as well as hand-held sprayers that come equipped with wall poles or hands-free mode with multiple sprayers from various areas of the shower wall. The various styles of a custom bathroom continue offering a wide variety of features for the custom home buyer. As Arizona custom home builders we plan to stay abreast of the styles, changes and trends in custom bathrooms to offer our customers the best choices for their particular home style.
