Creating a wellness oasis in the garden is a trend that has gained popularity in recent years. More and more customers of landscaping company Garden Vision are discovering the benefits of a luxury outdoor shower as an essential part of their exclusive wellness garden. An outdoor shower not only provides a refreshing experience on hot summer days but also adds a touch of well-being and relaxation to the outdoor space year-round.
Improved hygiene
Luxury outdoor showers also play an important role in maintaining hygiene. Because rinsing off before entering the Jacuzzi, pool, or other wellness facility helps maintain water quality. Rinsing helps remove dirt, oil and other impurities from the body. This minimises the chance of these impurities entering the water, which can affect water quality and require more maintenance.
Rinsing off the skin
After swimming in a chlorine spa, salt pool, or natural swimming pond, it is nice and sensible to rinse yourself off under the outdoor shower. This helps to remove residual chlorine, salt or other substances from the skin. It not only makes you feel fresher, but also prevents these substances from staying on the skin, which can lead to dehydration or irritation. It also reduces dirt build-up/ circles on sunbeds or towels when you sunbathe. By rinsing your skin after a dip in chlorinated water or a salt bath, you remove irritating residues that can damage the skin. Clean skin is also more resistant to UV rays. The sun can dry out and irritate the skin, especially if residues of chemicals are still present. Rinsing off the skin helps maintain the natural moisture balance in the skin.
Placement in the design
When using an outdoor shower, location plays a crucial role. Privacy is often one of the most important considerations. Garden Vision often places the outdoor shower in a sheltered spot in the garden. Like here among lush planting, a natural hedge or decorative wall. On this high-end roof terrace, we even opted for an aesthetic row of posts to provide extra privacy overlooking Amsterdam-Zuid.
Expert installation and use of materials
Installing a luxury outdoor shower requires craftsmanship and precision. A common choice as a floor finish is therefore these anti-slip Esthec decking. These composite decking not only offers a stylish and modern look, but is also anti-slip and hygienic to use. Water drains well, the boards are extremely durable and algae growth is minimal. Last but not least, they are also easy to maintain.
Tailor-made options
There are plenty of models, brands and variants available when it comes to outdoor showers. For those who really want something unique, there is also the option of having an outdoor shower custom-made. For example, consider this outdoor shower in brass colour that perfectly matches this high-end roof terrace. Customised options like these ensure that the outdoor shower is not only functional, but also an integral part of the overall garden design.
Innovative features
Today’s high-end outdoor showers from the likes of JEE-O have the ability to use them all year round. Equipped with a defrost function, the shower can be used even in winter. This makes the outdoor shower a perfect addition to an ice-bath therapy, hot tub use or swim spa workout.
Conclusion
A luxury outdoor shower is more than just a practical addition to the garden; it is an investment in personal health and well-being. At Garden Vision, you choose the outdoor shower that perfectly suits your specific needs. We install it with attention to privacy, safety and aesthetics, and with the desired innovative features that enable use in all seasons.
