Skyrocketing shower popularity calls for multiple options
Comment by Sandra Hyde Marketing Manager, Aqualux
Published:  13 December, 2011

Sandra Hyde, Marketing Manager for Aqualux, examines the popularity of showers in the UK and highlights how the vast choice of enclosures on offer doesn’t need to be baffling to the consumer.In the last half of the 20th century, the popularity of showers skyrocketed and, today, approximately 86% of all UK households have some sort of showering facility. This explosion of interest sparked incredible product innovation, both from a problem solving perspective and in response to the increasing demand for aesthetically pleasing designs.

As a result, today’s consumer is faced with a huge variety of shower enclosures to choose from – a selection that can be daunting to the uninitiated.

Ultimately, the appropriate shower enclosure will be dictated by the amount of available space within a bathroom. Where space is limited, leading manufacturers offer more compact enclosures with a variety of shower doors that ensure minimal intrusion on floorspace, such as sliding doors or those with special hinge mechanisms that are able to fold inwards. If a bathing area is reasonably roomy but not vast, many choose to go for a wet room style, as the  uninterrupted  flooring  and  clean  lines give the impression of a greater expanse of space. The type of enclosure also depends on where it is being installed in the bathroom, and there are numerous designs on offer to cater for nearly any specification. Whatever the final choice, buying a trusted UK brand that can offer expert advice, full technical backup and service support ensures product quality comes with peace of mind.
