When undertaking a bathroom renovation, one question always comes up: should you opt for a shower, a bathtub… or both?
In Montreal, many projects completed by our Bonbain team have allowed us to support clients in this crucial choice, taking into account their lifestyle, available space and aesthetic preferences.
Shower: modern, accessible, space-saving
Walk-in showers are all the rage. They are synonymous with clean lines , easy access (especially for the elderly or those with reduced mobility), and they free up space.
Our customers appreciate:
the feeling of openness,
maintenance made easier,
lower water consumption.
The shower can be very aesthetically pleasing, as this recently completed project shows: minimalist glass walls, large wall tiles, elegant wall-mounted faucets and integrated storage.
Bathtub: comfort, relaxation, family
For bath enthusiasts, the ultimate relaxation comes from soaking in a hot tub . A bathtub remains essential if you have young children or simply enjoy moments of tranquility. A contemporary style allows you to integrate a bathtub into a modern setting without compromising the overall design of the room.
Some families even opt for a mixed configuration : a spacious shower + a small additional bathtub, or even a combined bathtub-shower, depending on the available space.
Our expert advice from Bonbain
Limited space? Opt for a walk-in shower.
Family with children? Opt for a comfortable bathtub.
Quick daily use? The shower is unbeatable.
On a tight budget? Shower models are often more affordable to install and maintain.
In all cases, we support you in making the right choices according to your needs, your budget and the evolution of your life (family, resale, aging, etc.).
