Shower Baths

Amongst the appliances found in the bath, there is one most common to bathrooms across time and space. This is the fixture which has become so common and so convenient to have that people have become addicted to it: the shower bath.

Found in the majority of homes, the shower bath is a shower which discharges into a bath tub so the bather can shower whilst standing inside the tub. Hand-drying of the floor may be an irritating thing of the past with a shower bath installation. One can stand in the tub, happily showering, while all the waste water runs down the bathtub drain... no need to emerge dripping from the tub like Venus from the sea foam, tracking water all over the washroom, water that must be mopped up unless the bathroom has a floor drain.

To shower or to bathe: why not both at once? That is a decadent option with a shower bath, just fill up the tub, turn on the spray, and enjoy the sensation of bathing in the rain. It's a rare and peculiar delight, one that no bathing connoisseur should fail to experience!
The first shower bath was probably a simple contraption consisting of a perforated bucket or watering can suspended over a bathtub. Some bright soul then refined the shower bath concept, developing a standpipe with a spray head, all of which attached to the tap mechanism of an old roll-top bath tub. With a curtain to catch the overspray, the shower bath was an instant hit. Later designs moved the plumbing into the wall, squared up the tub, and created endless fights about whose turn it was to use the shower bath. In any configuration, the shower bath just makes sense, giving one the option of alternating bathing with showering as one's schedule dictates.

Modern shower baths come with glass screens, curtain rods, or glass doors to keep the water off the floor. Fancier designs offer built-in full enclosures, with storage and room for friends. Something so prosaic need not be Spartan, and we are here to help you decide what shower bath unit best fits your needs and wants.
