Bathing used to be thought of as a necessary chore. With today's
active lifestyle, however, people welcome the idea of slipping away
to a serenely beautiful bathroom where they can relax and indulge
themselves in luxurious surroundings.
Innovative products, designed to enhance the luxury bathing experience,
are continually introduced. Multiple- head, super showers, may include
such amenities as adjustable overhead showerheads, ultra-low-flow
body sprays, vertical jets for body massages, and personal hand-held
showerheads. Super showers can be equipped for steam as well, and
may even provide an aromatherapy attachment.
Elaborate whirlpool baths have become the norm, some even offering
a built-in television/VCR monitor. The whirlpool action, as well
as underwater lighting and temperature, can be easily operated through
digital control panels. Certain whirlpools are designed to provide
the sensory pleasure of a rolling river with a cascading waterfall
flowing over the shoulders as one reclines the head against a built-in
bath pillow.
Thermo-massage air jet bathtubs are another hot product. These systems
use a multitude of air jets (34- 70) located all around the tub
wall to create a therapeutic turbulence in the water. Since no water
is being circulated through a pump, these systems allow bathers
to use products, such as essential oils, to optimize relaxation.
The bathing experience does not stop with the bath, however. Bathers
can step out of the bath and have immediately at hand a cozy, pre-warmed
towel with which to dry off. Available in a variety of finishes
and designs, towel warmers add style as well as comfort to a bathroom.
