If you are looking for a way to turn a drab, ordinary bathroom into an in home spa, a corner shower tub provides a full range of massaging jets, rain shower sprinklers, and relaxing steam cabins. Designed to accentuate standard functions of a normal shower while still provide the same great capability, a corner shower tub uses water pressure and temperature to soothe aching muscles or relieve the strain of hard impact shower heads. There are dozens of models available from major manufacturers, and any local home improvement store (such as Home Depot or Lowe’s) will carry demonstration models so that you can get a look and feel for corner baths and tubs before making a decision.
If finances are less of a concern than sheer luxury, look no further than the OCEANA Steam Shower Cabin by DreamLine. This model features a single back wall with seating capacity, a rotating doorframe for easy entry and exit, and custom controls. With the OCEANA Steam Shower, customers can utilize different water pressure functions, ranging from the hard and concentrated massaging jets to the dream like drizzle feature — mimicking a cleansing, soft rainfall. Consistency in temperature is key to the Steam Shower, as a custom control allows measurement down to single degrees for a perfect level of heat or cold with six jets on all sides to make for an all encompassing shower experience. Of course, this luxury comes at a cost, and DreamLine’s cream of the crop model retails for over three thousand dollars, before installation fees.
Of course, not everyone has several thousands of dollars to spend on their shower capabilities, but there are plenty of models that are easy on the wallet without sacrificing an environment of pure comfort. The AQUAPAT Standard 60 Tub gives a full range of normal shower capabilities with several extra features. A satellite radio hookup (subscription is not included) allows you to listen to your favorite songs or news shows each morning, while an array of massaging jets can work from every angle. A foot massage unit is also included so a refreshing shower can be accompanied by a great feel all over. At only twelve hundred dollars, the AQUAPAT is a great solution for those frustrated by — or simply tired of — their current shower capabilities. A corner shower tub requires hookup to a main water source, so consulting a plumber may be the best approach when installing the fixture.
