Shower profiles are essential for keeping the bathroom dry and moisture-free, which helps prevent mould and mildew. These components not only help contain water within the shower area, but also add to the design and functionality of the space. In this article, we will delve a little deeper into the benefits of shower profiles and why they are an essential addition to any bathroom.

Read on! We’ll tell you everything you need to know!

What are shower profiles?

Shower profiles play a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity and watertight seal of your shower. These components are essential for keeping your shower enclosure perfectly sealed and leak-proof, so no water escapes. By keeping the water contained in the shower area, the shower profiles help keep your bathroom dry and free from excess moisture.

Shower profiles are specifically designed to provide an effective seal to ensure no water escapes. This is essential for avoiding problems caused by damp. Crafted from high-quality, durable materials such as stainless steel, these shower profiles are built to resist corrosion and stand the test of time.

Not only do they deliver exceptional performance, but they also add a minimalist, modern touch to your shower’s design, blending effortlessly with various styles and tastes.

Tips for a safe and clean bathroom: installation and application

The proper installation of shower profiles is crucial to ensure their effectiveness and performance. Without a good sealing, water can seep through, leading to moisture and mould problems. Improper installation can also compromise the structural integrity of the enclosure, affecting both its functionality and appearance.

It is advisable to have the installation carried out by professionals to ensure a perfect fit and an effective seal. Proper installation not only maximises the benefits of the profiles, but also ensures that your bathroom remains in top condition for longer. This process involves the precise measurement and cutting of profiles to exact dimensions, and fixing them securely to the walls and shower tray to ensure complete protection against leaks. 

Floor-level profiles can be installed either vertically and horizontally to facilitate placement between the floor and the shower tray, such as the Europrofile shower front 338S, the Europrofile shower wall 336S and the Europrofile floor shower 334S. Once installed, the profiles ensure that the glass enclosure remains in place, offering both structural stability and practical functionality.

Benefits of shower profiles

Shower profiles offer multiple benefits that go beyond simply containing water within the shower area. The main advantages include:

• Preventing moisture and mould: one of the most common problems in bathrooms is mould growth due to the presence of moisture. Shower profiles help keep moisture within the shower area, preventing it from dispersing throughout the bathroom. This significantly reduces the appearance of fungi, which are not only unsightly but also harmful to your health.
• They keep the bathroom clean and dry: by preventing water from escaping, the profiles help keep the rest of the bathroom dry. This not only makes cleaning easier, but also prevents dirt and dust from building up in other areas of the bathroom. Cleaning is easier and faster as water and dirt are contained within the shower.
• Protecting ceramics and tiles: excessive humidity can cause long-term damage to bathroom ceramics and tiles, leading to permanent stains and weakening the structure of the materials. Shower profiles help protect and prolong the life of these materials.
• Easy to maintain: these profiles are easy to clean and maintain. They do not require special treatments and are resistant to common cleaning products. This simplifies bathroom maintenance and ensures that it stays in good condition for longer.
• Improved aesthetics: beyond their practical functions, shower profiles also contribute to the look of your bathroom. They can complement the overall design of your bathroom, providing a clean and modern look.

Profiles with multiple uses that complement your bathroom

IBesides those mentioned above, it is also worth noting other types of profiles that enhance features like the corners of ceramic tiles in bathrooms. These profiles ensure a seamless finish and align perfectly with the latest trends in interior design, such as the Euromultpurpose 212A Crystal. This profile can be used as a decorative border, corner piece, floor and wall trim, step tread, separator, and more.

In addition, the Euromultipurpose LED 303A is an aluminium profile designed for use with LED technology. This design serves as a finishing touch for your surfaces, offering functional ambient lighting or signalling with a subtle, indirect glow. For use in wet areas, it is recommended to use the EuroLED IP65 or to choose any of the LED profiles available in our catalogue, designed to illuminate all areas and spaces of the house.

Other profiles suitable for both showers and bathtubs in the bathroom include the Eurobath 114, or the Eurobath 154, which are installed with a silicone sealant once the work is complete. These profiles are made from highly durable PVC (polyvinyl chloride), which stands the test of time and is easy to clean. They prevent water penetration and ensure complete waterproofing of the area. 

Creating a hygienic and healthy bathroom

Most shower profiles, such as the Euroglass profile 330S or the Euroglass profile 332S are made of stainless steel, a highly durable and completely waterproof material. It is resistant to moisture, aggressive cleaning products, mould, mildew and UV radiation, making it an ideal choice for wet environments such as the bathroom, as it preserves its integrity and appearance. Its strength and durability ensure it lasts a long time without significant wear and tear.

Ultimately, shower profiles provide an effective barrier against moisture, preventing common problems such as mould and stains. Their installation not only enhances the functionality and look of your bathroom, but also facilitates maintenance and prolongs the life of bathroom materials.

Choosing high-quality, stainless steel shower profiles ensures resistance to damp bathroom conditions. By keeping water contained within the shower area, these profiles help keep your bathroom dry, clean and safe, creating a healthier and more pleasant environment for the whole family. With all this in mind, investing in shower profiles is a smart decision that offers multiple long-term benefits. Not only do they greatly enhance hygiene and maintenance, but they also make the bathroom more functional and visually appealing.
