2. Bath screens are made to stop water from
getting on the floor when someone in the tub is
bathing or showering. Water is often splashed
from the tub when these activities are taking
place and the water creates a mess and a
hazard. You are much more likely to slip and
fall if the floor is wet than you would when the
floor is dry. If the floor gets wet repeatedly
then it can begin to rot away because of the
moisture. You can also get a mold and mildew
problem if the surface of the floor is
continuously gotten wet and does not dry out
for long periods of time. Bath screens can stop
all of these things from happening.
3. Bath screens can also add a luxurious look and
feel to your bathroom. They can make the
room look larger also. A transparent bath
screen can make the room appear to be larger
than it would look with a colored shower
curtain hanging in the same area.
4. You have several choices in the style of bath
screens you can install into your bathroom. You
can get sliding screens or screens that pivot.
With the ones that slide you can create an
entrance to the tub that is larger or smaller to
accommodate the person getting in or out of
the bath. These pieces are excellent when you
need to place children or pets in the tub.
5. When you have children or pets in the bath you
generally have to be kneeling beside the tub so
that you can assist them with their bath. You
will e able to do this and able to keep them
from splashing water out of the other portion
of the tub. When you have pets the portion of
the screen that remains closed will keep them
from escaping while you are trying to give them
a bath.
6. You can get folding versions that offer an
extended amount of coverage when it is
needed. You can get versions of this item that
are stabilized and fixed in one place. Because
of their flexibility the folding versions are
very useful in aiding in mobility when the
elderly are getting in and out of the shower
unit.
7. With bath screens you can choose ones that are
clear and transparent to enhance the look of
the tile in your bath. You can also choose
pieces that have been acid etched to create an
opaque look so that you cannot see past the
glass surface. The opaque images on the glass
surface can be crafted to create picture
scenes or designs. You can add a personal flare
by using these items.
8. You can purchase many different types of hinges
and hardware to create a look in your
bathroom that you will find pleasing. You will
find hardware that is chrome, and polished
brass, and nickel plated. You have the
opportunity to get versions of these items that
have hidden hinges so they appear to be free
floating on the surface.
