Walk-in showers
Convenient access thanks to walk-in showers
Floor-to-ceiling Shower trays require sufficient space to allow enough room to move when in use. Due to their size and easy access, walk-in showers are ideal for anyone who values not only design, but also comfort and safety. In addition, walk-in showers are a great barrier-free solution for anyone who needs one in their daily life. Walk-in showers also offer maximum comfort for anyone who prefers a lot of space when showering, an ideal way to integrate a little wellness moment into your daily routine or to enjoy a refreshing shower alone or with someone else.
Shower trays: types
Walk-in shower tray
A walk-in shower tray can be installed flush with the floor. Duravit offers a range of different tray sizes, so that individual needs and preferences, as well as architectural conditions, can be accommodated for each person. Walk-in showers with a tray can also be retrofitted under certain conditions during renovation work. These shower trays are available in a wide range of high-quality finishes in our Duravit range.
Tiled shower floor
Furthermore, there is the option of integrating a walk-in shower with the help of a tileable floor element with a floor drain. The slight incline allows the water to drain away in the middle. Alternatively, a sloped screed with a shower channel or wall drain can be installed for shower cubicles without a tub. Tiling is ideal for people who want to design their bathroom in a uniform way and are looking for a seamless transition from wall to floor for a beautiful overall look.
Advantages of a walk-in shower tray
The advantage of floor-level shower trays over tiled floor elements with a central floor drain, a sloping screed with a shower channel or a wall drain is that they are very easy to clean and install. This is because there are no joints that are prone to dirt and they are much easier to seal. Depending on the material, floor-level shower trays also have a comparatively warm feel and not only feel more pleasant on the skin than simple tiles, but also provide a secure footing without the risk of slipping. High-quality floor-level shower trays in a wide range of designs and sizes can be found in our Duravit range.
Walk-in showers with a wall vs. without a wall
Walk-in shower without side panels
Walk-in showers without glass or other splash guards are more suitable for larger bathrooms due to the space required. This is because certain distances must be maintained from the nearest bathroom fixtures, such as the Bathtub, Sink or bidet.
Walk-in shower with wall
A walk-in shower with a glass wall or other splash guard requires less space and is the much more common design. This in turn means that a walk-in shower can also be installed in a small bathroom. In this case, the side walls automatically serve as splash protection. Alternatively, a walk-in shower can also be implemented with a half-brick or a fully-built wall. However, this is less common, but has the advantage of providing additional privacy.
