Not sure if your shower tap and door position will work properly?

One common problem in bathroom design is the relationship between the position of the shower tap and the location of the shower door.

In most bathrooms the tap or mixer used to turn the shower on is positioned inside the shower area. If the shower door is also positioned in a way that blocks access to the tap, the person using the shower may need to step inside the shower area before turning the water on.

This can be uncomfortable, especially when the water is still cold.

Good shower design considers where the user can reach the tap before stepping fully into the shower.

The position of the shower door and the direction it opens should allow easy access to the controls while helping to control water runoff.

When the shower screen layout is planned late in the renovation process, the position of the tap and the door opening may not work well together.

With more than 30 years experience and over 50,000 bathroom visits, Sam has seen many bathrooms where a small adjustment to the shower screen layout improves both comfort and functionality.

Planning the shower layout early helps ensure the door position, tap location, and screen design all work together properly.
