Resolve to be more eco-friendly in 2012 and opt for a shower
Being as eco-friendly as possible is an increasing concern for many people - but it is easy to be unsure of the easiest and most effective ways to do so. Opting to install a shower unit and cutting down on the number of baths you have is perhaps one of the simplest steps to take.
Indeed, showers are celebrated for their environmentally-friendly benefits in comparison to baths. One statistic claims that enjoying a daily soak can push your annual water usage up by 13,000 l when compared to taking a five-minute shower each day.
So, it's easy to see just how much of a difference choosing a shower can make. If you simply opt to take a shower instead of a bath just once a week, you can cut your CO2 emissions by approximately 30 kg.
Of course, the way we reduce our carbon footprint is by cutting how much energy we use - which means becoming more environmentally-friendly generally results in lower utility bills.
This is good news at any time, but perhaps none more so than during troubled economic periods. Indeed, while you may initially be concerned that making eco-friendly changes such as installing shower enclosures can deal a blow to your budget, you are likely to find they save you money in the long run.
Additionally, by searching online you should be able to find some great deals on stylish showers, which will mean you can do your bit for the environment without having to pay over the odds.
There are a number of top brands that boast immensely stylish ranges you can pick from. So, not only can you look forward to reducing your carbon footprint and your energy bills, but you can also expect to enjoy a sleek addition to your bathroom.
Choose Manhattan shower enclosures, for example, and you'll be able to pick from a selection of simple designs, boasting clean, elegant lines that will work well with a range of decors.
Of course, an additional benefit of installing a shower in favour of a bath is the amount of space you can save. Those with little room to spare can select a one-door Manhattan shower enclosure to make the most of the room they have, without sacrificing on comfort, practicality or style.
Alternatively, if you have a bit more space at your disposal, why not choose a double-door offering from Manhattan? These can often be incredibly easy to clean, as the doors open wide for easy access.
Providing a similarly stylish selection, Kudos shower enclosures are another great choice for those looking to brighten up their bathroom and become more eco-friendly. Discover stylish pivot enclosures perfect for smaller spaces, available in attractive white or chrome finishes.
Products with bi-fold doors and sleek sliding doors are other options to consider, with the latter being particularly perfect for compact bathrooms, as the door will not get in the way when it swings outwards.
So, if your resolution for 2012 is to be more eco-friendly, why not invest in a shower? Not only can you reduce your carbon footprint by doing so, but you are also likely to enjoy lower energy bills, while being able to give your home a brand new look. Why not start planning changes to your bathroom today?
