Walk-in shower
Walk-in shower: design, comfort and accessibility in Montreal
Elegant, discreet and ultra-functional, the walk-in shower is now a must-have for bathroom renovation projects.
At Bonbain Construction, we design and install custom walk-in showers that perfectly integrate with your living space, your habits, and your style.
Based in Lachine, we operate throughout Greater Montreal to create modern, durable and accessible showers with a high level of finish.
What is a walk-in shower?
The walk-in shower is distinguished by:
a recessed shower tray or a tiled floor sloping gently towards the drain ,
an open structure, often accompanied by a partial glass wall.
Thanks to this configuration, the shower fits harmoniously into the bathroom, creating visual continuity and a feeling of space.
This is generally a custom-made installation, which adapts to the dimensions of the room, technical constraints (floor, drainage) and your aesthetic desires.
Why choose a walk-in shower?
Modern and refined aesthetics
Its minimalist design complements any interior style, while highlighting the chosen materials. It visually transforms the bathroom into an airy and refined space.
Optimal accessibility
The absence of a threshold makes it much easier for the elderly, people with reduced mobility, or children to use. It's a recommended choice for a safe and adaptable bathroom.
Ease of use
With its large spaces and open layout, the walk-in shower offers unparalleled ease of movement, without any annoying partitions.
Simplified maintenance
Flat surfaces, materials chosen for their resistance to moisture and the absence of complex nooks and crannies make it an easy solution to clean on a daily basis.
What dimensions should I plan for?
For a pleasant experience and to limit splashing, a minimum surface area of 90 x 120 cm is recommended. For even greater comfort, dimensions up to 200 cm long are preferred.
If space is limited, it is entirely possible to adapt the project with well-positioned walls or an extra-flat raised shower tray, without sacrificing accessibility.
How to avoid water splashes?
With walk-in showers open, it's essential to anticipate splashes. To limit water splashes:
Install a fixed glass wall of at least 120 cm
Position the shower column opposite the entrance
Direct the water jet toward the wall rather than the opening
Create an effective slope from the ground to the drain
Use suitable faucets with a controlled flow rate
These elements, well designed from the start, guarantee pleasant use without wetting the rest of the bathroom.
