If we look at all these features, bathtubs and showers both have advantages and disadvantages, which must be considered carefully before making the final decision.
Stopping time or not stopping. Choosing a bathtub or shower for the bathroom reflects two very different ways of looking at life and daily hygiene. Two ways of enjoying moments of well-being, in which water and its connection with the body are the centre of our attention. You may have time to take a relaxing bath every day, or you may prefer the speed and practicality of a shower.
Whether you prefer a bathtub or shower when it comes to renovating the bathroom, you need to remember that the best bathroom equipment is not only the most attractive, innovative and technological, but also the option that best meets your needs and suits your lifestyle.
Bathtub or shower? Or both? Choose the rhythm you want for your bathroom.

Bathrooms with a shower: contemporary hygiene and well-being
Having a small bathroom is a key factor in choosing to install a shower. A shower takes up much less room than a bathtub and can be fitted into virtually any space.
There are showers of all sizes, colours, designs and shapes, offering quick, easy access. This is an important consideration if the home's occupants include people who are elderly or have mobility problems, making a conventional bathtub difficult for them to use.

A shower allows freer and much more efficient use of space, and usually lower water consumption. It is important for the shower to be a reasonable size, if possible, and it must be easy to maintain and safe, with no risk of slipping.Our #TheChangeWeChoose advice is to take a shower rather than a bath.
