When designing a brand-new bathroom, it is common to encounter a plethora of issues, one being getting the proportions and functionality right. When space is at a premium and homeowners want a bath and <\/em>shower, the perfect compromise is a combination of the two: a shower bath<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Installing a shower bath is a highly practical solution for any busy household and bath\/shower screens are so much more stylish than they once were, so there is literally no reason not to consider this for your very own bathroom.<\/p>\n

The different styles of bath with a shower<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Now that you know exactly what a shower bath is and have decided that you want to go ahead and make a purchase, you will need to know the different shower bath designs. Shower baths come in a variety of sizes to suit different bathrooms sizes and shapes, from a freestanding bath with a shower, to a corner bath shower. What is the perfect shower and bath combo for you and your bathroom?<\/p>\n

However, before deciding on the right shower bath combo for you, you must remember to measure the space beforehand, and figure out whether you need a left- or right-handed option to suit your bathroom layout. Bear in mind that some shower bath styles have a wider showering area on one half of the bath, where the shower head sits, which can increase the width by around 100mm.<\/p>\n

– Straight shower bath<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of all bath and shower combinations, straight shower baths<\/a> are the most popular option on the market. If a lack of floorspace is a major issue in your bathroom, a straight shower bath may be the perfect solution for you.<\/p>\n

For this, you can either buy both the bath and screen together as a set, which can save both time and money, or purchase separately.<\/p>\n

A bath screen<\/a> helps to create a sleek, seamless finish, but be sure to check the full specifications of your chosen bath to see which panels your bath is compatible with.
