Shower Systems
A shower
module is the easiest type of shower to install.
These modules come in a variety of shapes,
sizes and colors. Some even come with built-in
shelving and seating. Alternatively, a custom
shower built to fit your bathroom’s unique
space is a wonderful option for those seeking
a more luxurious addition.
Shower systems range from a basic overhead
or handheld showerhead to an integrated rainwater
showerhead with volume control and diverter.
Some even have built-in iPod cradles so you
can listen to your favorite playlist while
you relax. Eco-conscious homeowners may want
to consider a low-flow showerhead to conserve
water. Newer EnergyStar low-flow showerheads
boast optimal pressure so even though you
won’t feel like you’re skimping while you
help save the planet.
Building code regulations now require adding
a pressure-regulating valve when replacing
a shower system. This mechanism is for safety
purposes. It reduces pressure should there
be a drop in pressure while you are using
the shower. For example, if someone flushes
the toilet, the pressure will drop so a surge
of hot water doesn't burn you. A trend in
shower system options is shower jet sprays.
There are many different types of jet systems
to choose from at various price points.
Saunas
An in-house sauna—either attached to the master
bathroom or in a separate part of the house—offers
a level of luxury rarely encountered outside
of a high end Manhattan spa. Hardwood saunas
can truly transform your bathroom into a haven.
Shower
Jets
Shower jets, bodysprays, and shower jet systems
offer anything from an overhead rainwater
panel, a wall-mounted chest-high spout to
a handheld jet. Combining several jets together
will create a fully integrated sumptuous shower
system.
