What are the Most Popular Sizes of Walk In Showers?

A walk in shower can be one of the most elegant additions to any bathroom. However, whether you have a smaller space of a large one to play with, you need to make sure that your shower is not overpowering the space. Here are some of the most popular sizes of walk in showers, to give you an idea about what could work for your space.

A Standard Size

Many walk in shower enclosures are designed to fit a space where there was a bath previously. This means that you ideally want to find an enclosure that is roughly the same size as the bath was, if you are replacing one.

This usually equates to roughly 170 cm in length and 70 cm in width. This is usually big enough to fit a standard bath. However, you should also consider the size of your bathroom as a whole. If your bathroom is on the larger size, you can always scale things up. Likewise, if you are tight for space you will most definitely still have room for a walk in shower, you might just have to be more economical with your space.

Scaling Down

If you have a bathroom that is on the smaller size, you can definitely still include a walk in shower in this space. The minimum size for a walk in shower can be as small as 90 cm in length and 76 cm in width. While this is a greater width than with a standard size, it needs to be this way to avoid water escaping the walk in shower enclosure.

Unless you want a wet room style bathroom, going smaller than this is not recommended. If you are looking for a smaller walk in shower, consider investing in one with a curved enclosure as opposed to a rectangular one. This may help you to avoid unnecessary splashing.

Going Big

Those who want a spa-like experience in their home and have the space to do so should consider a walk in shower on the larger size. It is possible to find showers with widths of 100 cm and lengths of 200 cm. This should create a large space perfect for the inclusion of a bench or an overhead shower, if you are searching for a more luxurious finished product.

If you are considering investing in a larger shower, you need to ensure that you have the room for it. Take careful measurements if you are updating an existing bathroom, and don't forget about the other fixtures if you are creating a bathroom from scratch. With careful measurements, you should be able to find the right shower for your space.
