When you’re looking into bathroom remodeling in Beverly Hills, CA , one of the most exciting parts of the process is deciding on the new shower you want. If you have an older bathroom, it may contain a tired older tub-and-shower combination. Replacing it with a modern shower with a more open look and attractive tiles, stones, and other materials will bring the new space to life—and it will make any time you spend in the shower easier and more enjoyable. 

Choosing a new shower requires balancing different factors, such as your budget and the size available to you for the remodel. Below are the most common types of new showers that people have installed for remodels.

The walk-in shower

The term “walk-in shower” is often used for any type of shower that isn’t a bathtub-shower combination. But the more specific use of the term walk-in shower is a shower that doesn’t have a door: it’s simply open—you walk behind the glass and that’s it. These bathrooms have the advantage of being accessible for people with mobility issues while also looking stylish and offering convenience for anyone in the household. 

The framed shower

These are among the most cost-friendly choices for a new shower. These showers have full frames holding the glass and have effective water-tight sealing. They can work well for homeowners who are looking for a sliding glass door option for their shower rather than a swinging door. In general, framed showers are an excellent choice for smaller bathrooms. 

The semi-frameless shower

This type of shower uses a frame for the glass walls, but leaves the door portion without a frame. This option is about halfway between the framed and frameless shower in terms of cost, flexibility, and how well it can fit into a smaller space. Semi-frameless showers are good choices for mid-sized bathrooms, and they can also use sliding glass doors. 

The frameless shower

If you want a shower without any metal frames to create a stylish and sleek modern appearance, the frameless shower is a fantastic choice. They do require swinging doors, which can limit them to larger bathrooms. Along with being easy to clean, the frameless shower is a choice to consider if you really want to show off the materials and designs for the walls or floor of your new shower. 

The double shower

This is a shower that has two separate showerheads, one placed on each side of the shower. This option works best for master bathrooms where partners may wish to shower at the same time with convenience. These showers are among the most spacious available. 

Choosing the general shower type is only the beginning of finding the right style of shower for the remodeled bathroom. You’ll need to look at different options for flooring and walls, in-shower storage, seats, showerhead types, and other features.
