A stylish, clean, and well organized bathroom should be a place of relaxation and the shower is a big part of that. With the number of shower heads, fixtures, and <strong>shower enclosures<\/strong> to choose from, homeowners can easily recreate the luxurious feel of a spa in the comfort of their own home. At Keystone Home Products, we are the number one company in the Greater Toronto Area for designing and installing custom <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">shower enclosures<\/span> to fit every need and budget.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular trend right now for bathroom renovations is building-out and increasing available space. Everyone, it seems, wants a larger, brighter, more functional bathroom with the type of \u201ccreature comforts\u201d and d\u00e9cor that will add value and functionality to their home for years to come. In most cases, the size of your bathroom is the first thing to consider when you begin looking at <em>shower enclosures<\/em>. Not every home is big enough for an opulent, spa-like enclosure, and every community follows regulations modeled on those set forth in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca\/index.html\">National Building Code of Canada<\/a>. Dimensions will determine the type and size of enclosure you can install, but sliding and double roller doors are great space-saving features to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Water pressure is another factor to consider when looking at <strong><a href=\"\/shower-doors-and-enclosures-gallery\/\">shower enclosures<\/a><\/strong>. For a truly spa-like experience, high pressure spray nozzles and jets \u2013 hand-held or fixed at different points in the shower \u2013 require higher water pressure and don\u2019t work well with plastic shower curtains. Enclosures made of glass or acrylic are the go to solution nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>The shape of the shower also limits<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> shower enclosures<\/span> that you can choose from. If your shower is built along a single wall, then you\u2019ll likely need a \u201cD-shaped\u201d enclosure. Two walls give even greater design and style flexibility, giving you room for what\u2019s called a \u201cquadrant enclosure\u201d that takes up both walls and features an arc of glass between to enclose them, fitting like a comfortable sock in the corner of your bathroom and maximizing space. There are also square and rectangular shaped ones.<\/p>\n<p>In all cases,<em> shower enclosures\u00a0<\/em>require a tray which serves as the shower base and keeps it water tight. Shower trays should always feature a non-slip surface and may be made of acrylic reinforced with fiberglass. The amount of water you generate in the shower determines how deep the base should be, so if you take a lot of \u201cpower showers\u201d plan on going deep with the base.<\/p>\n<p>The style of the bathroom also plays a role in what enclosure you go with. Pay attention to the colour of the walls, flooring, cabinetry, and fixtures and find door handles, rollers, and towel bars that match.<\/p>\n<p>If your bathroom is large and can accommodate it, a walk-in enclosure is just as you\u2019d imagine \u2013 a room within a room. With this type of enclosure, there\u2019s no door, merely an opening, which provides easier access and room for homeowners in wheelchairs or who have other mobility issues. Another benefit with this kind of set up is it has enough room for not only two shower heads, but two distinct shower zones. Many customers outfit each zone with separate tankless water heaters that provide \u201cinstant\u201d hot water the moment the water is turned on.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what your preference or budget, call the experts at <a href=\"\/\">Keystone Home Products<\/a> today for a free consultation on <strong>shower enclosures<\/strong>, doors, or any of our custom design and installation services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Millions of people shower every day, sometimes more than once a day, but that doesn\u2019t mean that taking a shower or using the bathroom should be viewed as a chore.
