Choosing a Shower Size: What to Consider

If you’re updating your bathroom, one of the things you have to decide on is shower size.  Showering may appear like a straightforward activity, but newer shower options today have made it possible to elevate a basic task into a cleansing ritual.  Making the most of your shower, however, has a lot to do with having a space that is the right size.  Bathtub replacement contractors HomePride are here to make sure you have that down by sharing what you have to consider below:

• Your Bathroom’s Overall Size – Ideally, you should be able to turn in a circle with your arms outstretched in the shower.  However, this isn’t always feasible in smaller bathrooms, so you have to make adjustments.  Shower sizes can be as small as 32 x 32 inches, but most people feel comfortable in spaces sized 48 x 36 inches.  If you have room to spare, a minimum dimension of 60 x 36 inches is recommended.

• Add-ons – After figuring out the shower size that makes you comfortable, it’s time to factor in any add-ons you might be interested in.  This is important because additional features will require extra space.  If you want a steam shower, for instance, you should have a maximum ceiling height of 8 feet.  Note that enclosures will also call for more space.  If you are interested in a bathtub and shower combo, you can ask bathtub installation contractors for sizing assistance.
