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 in bathroom renovation projects.

At Bonbain Construction, we design and install custom walk-in showers, perfectly integrated into 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:

level access, without thresholds or steps ,
a recessed shower tray or a tiled floor sloping gently towards the drain ,
an open structure, often accompanied by a partial glazed wall.

Thanks to this configuration, the shower integrates harmoniously into the bathroom, creating visual continuity and an impression of space.

This is an installation that is generally made to measure, which adapts to the dimensions of the room, the technical constraints (floor, drainage) and your aesthetic desires.

Why choose a walk-in shower?

Modern and minimalist aesthetic

Its minimalist design complements all interior styles, 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 to use for the elderly, people with reduced mobility, or children. It's a recommended choice for a safe and adaptable bathroom.

Ease of use

With its large spaces and open configuration, the walk-in shower offers unparalleled comfort of movement, without any bothersome partitions.

Simplified maintenance

The flat surfaces, the 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 be planned?

For a pleasant experience and to minimize splashing, a minimum surface area of 90 x 120 cm is recommended. For even greater comfort, dimensions up to 200 cm in length 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 being open, it's essential to anticipate splashes. To limit water spray:

Install a fixed glass partition of at least 120 cm
Position the shower column opposite the entrance
Direct the water jet towards the wall rather than towards the opening.
Create an effective slope from the ground towards the drain
Use suitable taps with controlled flow rates.

These elements, well designed from the outset, guarantee pleasant use without wetting the rest of the bathroom.
