Benefits Of A Walk-In Shower

Why Install A Walk-In Shower

No matter what type of bathroom remodel you are considering, a walk-in shower is a great way to upgrade and add value to your home. Walk-in showers are both functional and luxurious. Allowing users to relax and enjoy their spa-like experience with ease of access.

Not only do they offer convenience and safety compared to traditional tubs or shower enclosures. But they also provide an elevated aesthetic that looks beautiful in any bathroom design scheme. In this blog we’ll have a look at the advantages that come along with installing a walk-in shower, from health benefits to financial rewards.

A Walk-In Shower Is Easier To Clean and Maintain

The walk-in shower is increasingly popular! Instead of dealing with a traditional shower enclosure, walk-in showers make it easier than ever before to keep your bathroom looking sparkly and clean. Not only are these walk-in showers modern and stylish. They also have specially formulated surfaces that prevent mold and mildew growth as well as soap scum build-up.

A More Accessible Choice

When it comes to designing an accessible and luxurious bathroom, walk-in showers are a great solution. Unlike the traditional bath/shower combination popular in homes, walk-in showers offer greater shower mobility that can be especially helpful for elderly or disabled individuals.

You can easily add extra safety features, such as heavy-duty grab bars. Walk-in showers also let you customize your bathroom style to your heart’s content while still retaining the accessibility you need.

Ideal For Making The Most Of Small Bathrooms

If a small bathroom is what you’re dealing with, walk-in showers are the ideal way to get your much-needed luxury bathroom fix.  Walk-in showers provide a more open and airy feel as opposed to shower cubicles. They also give a sense of space within the confines of a smaller bathroom.

Since walk-in showers are constructed from materials such as glass enclosures and walls finished with waterproof shower panels or tiles, it is possible to transform any small bathroom into one that looks and feels bigger than its true dimensions.

Increase The Value Of Your Home

Homeowners will find a walk-in shower increases the space and comfort of their bathroom.  It’s also an easy way to create a luxury home aesthetic that potential buyers are more likely to appreciate.

Unlike a small bathtub or shower, walk-in showers are spacious without taking over the entire room. This gives you ample room to relax, as well as the ability to add features like body jets and rainfall shower heads that can make your walk-in shower feel like your own private oasis. Furthermore, with so many types of walk-in showers available today, you’re sure to find one that matches both your personal sense of style and budget. Taking all this into consideration and if you’re planning a move in the future, it’s worth considering how much value a walk-in shower will add.

Our commitment to sustainability

As a business, UK Bathrooms works to limit our environmental impact, continually striving for improvement to exceed our environmental targets and aiming to reduce our carbon footprint.

It’s not an easy commitment for any business, finding ways to lower our footprint that are scalable to our operation can be somewhat difficult at times.  What we have found is that there are some strong initiatives out there which are adaptable to businesses of every size, these are a great starting point.

Energy-efficient choices

We’ve opted for lighting, equipment and appliances that save energy from swapping all light bulbs to LED to installing boiling water taps in the kitchen areas. The latter not only requires less energy than a conventional kettle but also saves money. We’ve also adopted a ‘switch off when not required’ approach, this applies to lights, heating, equipment and appliances throughout the business.

Minimised paper usage

The amount of paper used can be drastically reduced in any organisation, the ultimate goal being 100% paper-free. At UK Bathrooms one of the first actions was to digitalise the employee handbook which is now shared online.

Disposal of waste

Minimising waste by reusing items wherever possible is another action that is relatively easy for any business to adopt, along with being mindful of how your business disposes of waste.

At UK Bathrooms all waste is segregated into recyclables and non-recyclables.  All cardboard boxes, or cartons that arrive into the business from suppliers are reused for order fulfilment whenever possible.

We also re-use wherever possible. We have a bath that has been made into a sofa in our reception area and more recently we gave a damaged bath to a team members dad. As an avid gardener he turned it into a delightful planter.

Responsible Sourcing

We work with brands that share our commitment to social and environmental responsibility.  Business partners bring quality products that have been manufactured and sourced through ethical means.

Sustainable Packaging

Packaging for any retailer can be a nightmare, expensive and damaging to the environment.  Here at UK Bathrooms we seek to package all orders delivered in an efficient and sustainable manner by using recycled content, as well as biodegradable and lighter materials, in an effort to minimise waste. According to Coleman Parkes Research, 88% of consumers want packaging to provide more information about sustainability and 92% of consumers would choose paper-based over plastic-based packaging.

Packaging materials and our packaging systems are under constant review as we strive to limit our environmental impact. We use 100% recycled cardboard boxes and cardboard edging. Our pallet deliveries  are wrapped in a fully recyclable sugar cane wrap. Our packaging tapes are also 100% recyclable as is the bubble wrap that we use.

Customers will soon see a new label with every delivery, making it easier for them to determine how to best recycle the packaging. Enabling our customers to make more informed decisions around how to best dispose of the packaging their purchases come in.

We know this is a journey.  It is a journey that we are committed to. Good for us and for our planet.

Bathroom Trends of 2023 with the Pantone Colour of the Year

With the Pantone Colour of the Year just announced, let’s take a look at some of the Bathroom trends you can expect to see in 2023 that include similar colours as part of the MagentaVerse.

About Viva Magenta and the MagentaVerse

If you’re looking for an exciting new way to spruce up your home, the Pantone Colour of the Year for 2023 is a great place to start! Viva Magenta is a vibrant hue that is both fun and enchanting. Adding this colour to your home décor will create an exciting pop of colour compared to the more pared-back neutrals we’ve seen in recent years. 

Plus, it’s not just magenta that has been carefully selected as part of the MagentaVerse – there are also complementary hues set alongside it which are guaranteed to not only add tonnes of style and charm but also inspire. Bringing Viva Magenta or any of its counterparts into your home will no doubt be one upgrade you won’t regret making.

 

Why Magenta?

In the past few years, it has become increasingly easy to step back from our busy lives and develop a newfound appreciation of the power of nature. The lockdown saw us re-engaging with the outdoors – we reconnected with our gardens with enthusiasm and care, growing house plants and cherishing our outdoor spaces. 

Since then, enthusiasm for sustainability has kept growing, even for home décor – as demonstrated by Viva Magenta’s beautiful organic product colours. With its natural sources like the carmine-dye-producing cochineal beetle, its vibrant red range strikes a balance between boldness and playfulness – adding a special atmosphere to any space. Red is truly life-affirming; Viva Magenta allows us to continuously recognise that connection in all we do.

 

Viva Magenta in the bathroom

For those wanting to wholeheartedly jump into magenta, there are many ways to incorporate the colour into your bathroom. Just painting the walls in this bold shade, will completely transform the space.

Tile Wall

Using tiles as a feature wall is set to be one of the hottest trends of 2023, and with good reason. Tiles can add instant personality to any small bathroom, providing an unexpected pop of colour or texture that turns a basic space into something truly eye-catching. 

Subway tiles are especially popular right now and they have the added benefit of being so easy to clean and manage. That’s why they work especially well behind a basin or area where spills may be more frequent. 

Plus, with so many colours available that can easily complement neutral colour schemes or stand out against bolder colour palettes, subway tiles are incredibly versatile when it comes to creating the desired look for your bathroom space. Use them vertically or horizontally to create depth, or stick with the classic subway shape for familiar comfort.

Here you can see a colour similar to Pale Khaki from the MagentaVerse on the opposing wall to the tiles that creates a peaceful area of the room where you can keep some of your bathroom accessories. Combining textures and colours really does create a busy yet peaceful space for you and your family to relax in. 

 

Wall art tiles

Another trend that we’re likely to see more of in 2023 is these contrasting style tiles that feature different patterns that can be arranged to allow a creative burst of colour into the bathroom with little effort.

Similar colours used here from the MagentaVerse are the Pale Dogwood and elements of all three of the green tones. Together they embody a floral flourish that brings nature inside, whilst still maintaining that clean and fresh look.

 

Combining the MagentaVerse

The MagentaVerse spectrum offers two beautiful, complimentary colours – Pale Dogwood and Plain Air. Together, they offer a serene, inviting atmosphere that can be highlighted with black accents or bronze brassware. Villeroy & Boch provides top-notch collections like Finion and Artis where we’re seeing these shades outshine all others. Herringbone tiles are also gaining more and more attention for their subtle pattern and charming appeal. In the coming year, we can expect to see this trend still going strong! Bringing these subtle tones into your home is sure to bring some colour to those everyday moments.
