Walk-in shower, bathtub or combination: how to make the right choice?

When renovating a bathroom, choosing between a walk-in shower , a bathtub , or a bath-shower combo is often a deciding factor. In Montreal, this choice depends not only on your tastes, but also on your space, your lifestyle, and the technical constraints of your home. Here are some tips to help you make the decision.

The Italian shower: modern and accessible

Highly valued for its sleek design, the walk-in shower is recessed into the floor, with no threshold or step. It is ideal for:

• Tight spaces

• People with reduced mobility

• Lovers of comfort and contemporary style

However, it requires a well-designed drainage slope and perfect sealing, which requires professional know-how.

The bathtub: relaxation and comfort

The bathtub remains a must-have for those who prioritize moments of relaxation or who have young children. Several models exist:

• Classic straight bathtub

• Freestanding bathtub for a chic effect

• Corner bathtub to optimize space

In an urban environment, the bathtub can be seen as an element of family comfort , especially if you have a second bathroom.

The bath-shower combination: the versatile solution

The combined bath-shower system allows you to have the best of both worlds, especially when space is limited. It adapts to all user profiles and allows:

• To take a quick shower every day

• To maintain the possibility of a relaxing bath

For better accessibility, it is recommended to add a grab bar and an ergonomic bath screen.

How to choose?

Here are some criteria to guide your choice:

• Available space : a shower generally takes up less space.

• Lifestyle : fast and functional or rather relaxed and cocooning?

• Maintenance : a tiled shower requires regular maintenance of the joints.

• Accessibility : the Italian shower is best suited to changing needs.
