This type of shower is easier to clean and has become more popular and trendy in today's society. It has become a real fashion statement do to the busy lifestyles of its owners. Because of their overall convenience you are able to walk right in without having to climb over the side of the tub, which makes a quick shower possible.
The traditional tub and shower are becoming less and less popular with our fast-paced lifestyle. The idea of relaxing in a tab is looking more and more like a chore. The components of the tub and shower are moving farther and farther apart as our needs change to a faster paced lifestyle. The tab and the shower are becoming separate components.
The traditional shower can be a real nightmare to clean. Often times convenience is overlooked for style this leads to getting nooks and crannies that are really hard to reach while cleaning but they are usually the first place were dirt and grime collects. And it's not a very pretty picture when you're stylish shower has dirty corners. On the other hand a walk-in shower needs to focus on usability so their styles are usually simple and go well with the decor. In spite of being spacious new showers do not have a lot of hidden corners or seems which collect the dirt and dust making them much simpler to clean.
Other aspects to keep in mind, besides these obvious reasons, is that a healthy and fit person can use just about any type of shower but the opposite doesn't hold true for a physically challenged or elderly person. Getting a walk-in shower is probably a good idea in a family where several different individuals use the same bathroom. High end comfort is just not as important today as convenience.
In the past five years or so walk-in showers have become quite trendy. They can be found in most fancy hotels sporting fancy multifunction shower heads and luxurious tile. In most places the traditional tub and shower arrangement has been replaced by today's walk in showers.
