A shower can come in various sizes, generally categorized as small, medium, and large.
Standard Shower Sizes
The size of a shower is typically defined by its footprint's width and depth. Here's a breakdown of standard dimensions, according to bossdesigncenter.com:
| Size Category | Dimensions (Width x Depth) |
|---|---|
| Small | 32″ x 32″, 36″ x 36″ |
| Medium | 48″ x 36″, 60″ x 32″ |
| Large | 60″ x 36″, 72″ x 36″ |
Considerations When Choosing Shower Size
When selecting a shower size, consider these points:
- Bathroom Space: The available space in your bathroom is the primary constraint. Ensure sufficient clearance for comfortable movement around the shower.
- Personal Needs: Your individual needs and preferences play a role. If you prefer more space while showering, opt for larger dimensions.
- Accessibility: Consider accessibility needs, including grab bars or seating, which might necessitate a larger shower area.
Practical Examples
Here are some practical examples of how these sizes might be used:
- Small Showers (32" x 32" or 36" x 36"): Ideal for small bathrooms or powder rooms, they fit into tight spaces, such as a corner.
- Medium Showers (48" x 36" or 60" x 32"): Offer a comfortable showering experience for most users and are well-suited for average-sized bathrooms.
- Large Showers (60" x 36" or 72" x 36"): Provide spacious showering areas, often with enough room for multiple showerheads or built-in seating and are ideal for master bathrooms.
Additional Notes
- These sizes are standard guidelines; variations are always possible, especially for custom-built showers.
- Consider the shower door style and space it takes up in addition to the stall size itself.
