Having a home in the Highlands is already what the kids are calling a “flex,” meaning you have a home or a holiday home that is located in a place that has been the backdrop for many a movie, and the place the queen loved to vacation, and a hotspot holiday destination for many.
But why stop at having a great-looking home in Scotland that you can rent out or go on vacation in when you can up the appeal more with a few upgrades to say — your bathroom?
Envision stepping out of the shower in your holiday home onto the bathroom floor. You step out, and the floor around the shower is dry, the tiles above are not wet, and they will never experience being mouldy. The space feels practical, clean, and contemporary.
This can be the reality if you opt to have a linear shower drain installed. It’s aesthetic and efficient, a small change that can make waves with how stylish and practical your bathroom feels.
Why Choose Linear Shower Drains?
There are a few benefits to lavishing your bathroom with a linear shower drain. The long, rectangular drain can be sloped in one direction, allowing for more efficient water drainage. It also grants a level of appearance, and the water is less likely to pool. This is particularly useful in shower wetrooms where the shower floor forms an integral part of the bathroom floor design.
The design of linear shower drains can alter the appearance of a bathroom, too. Without a central drain, you can continue a tile design from the rest of your bathroom into your shower area. This creates the illusion of more space in your bathroom and echoes a clean line, a designer feel at once. This adaptability can help conjure up day spa-like spaces in your holiday accommodation, where guests can unwind and refresh after experiencing the locale.
Linear shower drains can also have a positive impact on your bathroom design. Their clean lines and modern aesthetic work well with a range of tile, such as large-format porcelain tiles or mosaics. Adding touches of natural stone or wood can help up the day spa appeal of your holiday home bathroom, creating a personal haven for your guests to enjoy after soaking in the bathtub or exploring local attractions.
Selecting the Right Linear Drain
When choosing a linear shower drain, consider the following factors:
- Size and positioning: A linear drain can usually be purchased at lengths ranging from 50 cm to 120 cm. Choose the size that best fits your shower floor. You can place the drain on a single wall of the shower or at the entrance, depending on your layout and preference.
- Material: Choose a high-quality material such as stainless steel. Stainless steel is also corrosion resistant and able to endure a high level of humidity, which is ideal for a holiday home located in coastal areas.
- Shower Grates: Choose a design and style that fits the decor of your bathroom. Decorative grates are available if you want to make a statement, or you can choose tile-in shower grates that are nearly invisible, creating the appearance of a seamless shower floor.
