Double showers have become very popular these days, especially for homeowners who have plenty of extra room in the bathroom. These showers offer a spa-like feeling, enhancing the showering experience for everyone willing to make this investment. If you are interested in adding a double shower to your bathroom, here are some advantages to consider.
Spa-Like Experience
In the past, the bathroom was simply the place where you would go brush your teeth, change your clothes or wash up before heading out of the house. Now, it is where you relax after a long day, disconnecting while you allow the water and the aromas to fill your senses.
“People are spending a lot of time in their homes and are seeing how important it is to update certain rooms in the house that might have been seen as less important in recent years,” says Studio G Architectures lead architect, Michael Gardner.
He also mentioned that more and more of his clients are looking for bathrooms that resemble a spa. Double showers are very common in spa centers, as they engulf you, allowing you to relax as you feel the water falling on you.
Saves Water
As ironic as it may seem, double showers can help you save water. First, you can shower with your partner, which can cut the water use. Often, when both showers are running, the same amount of water is delivered into the two shower heads.
Even if you shower alone, there is still a chance you may save water. When using just one shower head, you turn around a lot so that the water reaches every part of your body. With a double shower, with both heads pointed at you, there is more coverage. The foam is rinsed off faster, which means you will also turn the water off quicker than usual.
More Practicality
Cleaning the shower is one important aspect that homeowners cannot miss. When you have two showers, one shower head can be used to keep the dirt flowing down the drain, whereas the other can be used to clean the walls. It cuts the cleaning time in half, especially if you have an extra helping hand.
“Most clients are looking to ensure a space fits multiple briefs for various users,” says Alexandra Donohoe Church, managing director at Decus. No matter if your purpose is to clean the shower or to get cleaned up, a double shower can be a versatile addition.
Extra Showering Flexibility
With double showers, you also get extra flexibility when it comes to showering. These fixtures often mix an overhead shower and a handheld shower. This way, if you do not want to get your hair wet, you may switch to the hand shower.
Double showers also allow better control over the water flow. For instance, one of the shower heads can deliver rain-like water, whereas the other can deliver water with higher pressure on your back. This will make the shower experience more relaxing, as you get better control of the water flow.
Additional Space
How often have you felt cramped while sitting in a regular-sized shower? Double shower bathrooms have larger cabins, giving you more leg space to move around. No matter if your shower is enclosed by glass or by curtains, you won’t touch the edges of the cabin. This will lead to a more pleasant shower experience.
Timesaving
One perk of double showers is that you can direct the shower heads whichever way you want. You can have them spraying water on just one person, or you can adjust them to fit two different people. It depends on the shower heads that you purchased, but most models are adjustable.
This means that if you live in a household with busy schedules, you may easily take a shower at the same time as your spouse, without sacrificing precious moments of the morning. You can both get showered quickly and be on your way, without waiting on one another to finish.
