Showers
Showers are increasingly becoming a hot topic, as more and more people become more environmentally aware of the implications of using too much water. Most showers will allow you to control the flow of the water and the temperature, to ensure that a shower meets your own, very specific requirements.
However, from this very basic idea, the sheer variety and range of showers is simply immense. Showers range from very basic ones, which deliver a good jet of water; are very competitively priced, but somewhat basic, to state of the art and extremely expensive, ‘wet rooms’ where the shower (or showers) are the key features.
Most people choose to have something in the middle of this range, so that they can have a shower and a bath in the bathroom, thereby affording the luxury of a bath, with the practical benefits of a quick shower. So in other words, you get the best of both worlds.
Even if a bath is not ‘your thing’, you should be aware that properties which combine a shower and bath facility will sell much better than those which are fitted only with a bath or a shower. Thus having both may ensure that your property is more appealing to a prospective buyer.
You should also consider your water pressure when choosing a shower (for purely practical reasons). If your home experiences poor water pressure, then you should consider getting a relatively powerful shower, just to ensure that you get the maximum efficiency in terms of water output from the shower.

I Love to have baths, but often find that as i have a busy lifestyle, a shower is the quickest option though i don’t think for relaxation you can beat a traditional bath!
