Floor-level shower enclosure: minimalist design and cutting-edge functionality

In the world of modern bathroom renovations, the walk-in shower has gained considerable popularity due to its minimalist design and the cutting-edge functionality it offers. This innovative solution represents a perfect combination of aesthetics and practicality, creating a clean and spacious shower environment that blends harmoniously with the modern style of the bathroom.

Floor-levell shower: features

The main feature of a floor-level shower enclosure is its shower tray without raised edges, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding floor. This visually unobstructed design gives the bathroom a clean and uncluttered look, as well as creating a sense of space and openness. The disappearance of traditional edges and steps makes access to the shower easier for all people, regardless of age or reduced mobility. The shower tray used, such as Cesana's iStone, for example, to create a floor-level shower enclosure has, in many cases, the advantage of being customisable in different RAL colours and can be shaped to fit the space in the bathroom.

iStone shower trays are treated with ETC (easy to clean), which facilitates cleaning and reduces limescale build-up. Customisable to fit the space, iStone shower trays and shower tray covers can be customised in the following finishes:

• mocha
• sand
• cocoa
• white
• ash
• slate
• RAL on request
• PVD graphite matt
• PVD vintage matt

Doors for the floor-level shower enclosure

The type of door, pivot door or sliding door, is also one of the most important decisions when choosing a walk-in shower enclosure. The pivot door is the most traditional type of door for shower enclosures. This type of door is particularly suitable for larger shower enclosures, where there is enough space to open the door fully without obstructing the surrounding space. The pivot door is generally cheaper than the sliding door, making it a popular choice.

Sliding doors have become increasingly popular for smaller shower enclosures or for rooms where space is limited, which in combination with the flush shower tray help to give a sense of depth to the bathroom. This type of door moves along a track on the top and bottom of the shower enclosure, allowing the door to be opened and closed by sliding it sideways. One of the main advantages of the sliding door is that it saves space. No additional space is required to open the door, as it moves parallel to the walls of the shower enclosure. This makes the sliding door ideal for smaller bathrooms or those where the layout does not allow for a wide inward or outward opening. In addition, sliding doors can add a touch of modernity and elegance to the bathroom due to their clean, linear appearance.

Glazing for a flush shower enclosure

One of the main reasons why floor-level shower enclosures are so popular is their minimalist appearance, which fits perfectly in modern bathrooms. This design solution lends itself to a variety of configurations and can be realised with transparent or opaque glass walls, allowing the appearance of the shower enclosure to be customised to suit the desired style. The use of transparent materials such as glass helps to create a feeling of space and brightness in the bathroom, visually enlarging the room and allowing natural light to filter in.

Floor-level shower tray: hygiene and safety

In addition to their aesthetic appearance, floor-level shower enclosures also offer numerous functional advantages. Thanks to the flat, even base, these enclosures are easy to clean and keep hygienic. The lack of hard-to-reach corners reduces the accumulation of dirt and mould, making daily cleaning considerably easier. In addition, the step-free surface eliminates the risk of tripping when entering or exiting the shower, making it safer for the whole family.

This modern design solution combines clean, sophisticated aesthetics with state-of-the-art functionality, creating a shower environment that offers comfort, practicality and a touch of luxury. Whether it is a small bathroom or a large shower area, the flush-fit shower enclosure fits perfectly in any space, offering a modern and timeless shower experience.
