Bamboo Bath Towels - The Greener Choice

If you heard the word bamboo, you might be thinking of the actual tree-like plant that adorns many Asian-inspired gardens. However, with the continuous growth of technology, these very adaptable grasses can also be created into beautiful bamboo bath towels. True to the current global outcry for a greener planet, bamboo bath towels can really be an Earth-friendly choice.

The usual cotton bath towels are readily available worldwide, but consider some of its disadvantages. Cotton is not only absorbing water, it can also absorb the odor and the unlikely smell enveloping it. This is not the case with your bamboo towels. Although proven by analysts as a relatively better water absorber (as a matter of fact, bamboo towels can seep in 60% more water compared to the same-sized cotton towels), bamboo bath towels can effectively bounce off nasty odors, regardless of its persistence. This is due to the unique capability of the bamboo's surface to resist growth of moisture for a long time, thus lessening the chances for microbial and bacterial growth. Moisture can be a splendid thing, but if it is infested with microbes, the foul smell could escape its surface and could find its way to irritate your nostrils. But in towels from bamboos, you will never have to fret again. Another disadvantage of cotton towels is their use of toxic elements, however infinitesimal. This is due to the pesticides used to protect the cotton shrubs from rotting. These deadly chemicals can be absorbed by the actual cotton flower, and thus it would be carried into your towel. In bamboo, on the other hand, there is no need for any pesticide application. Even synthetic fertilizers are unnecessary for its growth.

But most especially, bamboos are organic. They help in effectively absorbing carbon emissions. In that case, would you just release the chance of helping Mother Nature by replacing your towels?

Buying a Shower Online

Buying a shower online could be a lot of fun. Depending upon the place and time, you may get decent discounts just as well. Like everything else, you can follow a certain reasonable pattern to see if you are buying yourself a product of your utility and budget. It would be a good idea to decide on your budget before you step into the market. This may keep you from getting disoriented by the whole range and variation of products which exists. Designs may come in simple formats which will serve your utility or high end deluxe models. A measurement of the bathroom space will be a good thing to do before you make your purchase. This shall keep all the disappointments at bay. While measuring, take the height as seriously as the length and breadth.

The factor most affected by the bathroom dimension would be that of the kind of module you may get for yourself. A larger bathroom space shall allow a module with sitting options such a stool and far throw water nozzle. In fact, a larger space can even accommodate two seats, which would have the option to be put against the wall or be stretched out if you wish to lie down.

Speaking of color, while buying a shower online, you realize that the acrylic glass colors would mostly show up in ground colors such as blue, baby turquoise and green. You may very well ask the company to send you a sample, which you can try against the existing color of wall paint in the bathroom. Then, something as simple as a shower head may prove prominent when it comes to a good bathing experience. Some people like nozzle pins so sharp that water hits them like pin heads on the body, a good acupuncture method to go by. Others may like to have a soft spray. If you a family person, then we shall believe that a good shower head with an adjustable feature shall help a lot. While if you are very tall, then a high up shower head, with a nozzle extension could help you with a good bath. Even a three way shower which could shoot upwards could help you in the ordeal.

Look for these features in detail. A good adjustable rubber finish of the nozzle will help in proper cleaning and fitting. Buying a shower online, you will also come across an option to go eco-friendly. The shower in such will allow a flow of a maximum 2 gallons per minute, and the spray would be wider for a better utility. The spray heads would automatically have more than one prototype for spray. There would be more than one kind of shower option to make your experience a really good one in all senses. This equipped with a good common sense, our tips, and a good use of budget will make it easier buying a shower online.

Build Your Own Steam Shower Enclosure

You may have scoured the Internet to find a steam shower enclosure that will fit in the space you have available in your bathroom so that you don't have to take on any extensive or expensive remodeling in your home. The good news is that with a little work you can easily build one on your own to fit the space without having to tear out any existing walls. However, before you start this project, you do need to do some research so that you have all the materials and information you will need to complete the job and have a unit that will work properly.

The main things you have to consider when building your own steam shower enclosure are the roof, the door, the generator and whether or not you want to have seats and storage space inside. You can easily have a steam shower suite that includes steam jets and a regular shower in the same space as you would need for a normal bathtub enclosure. If you already have a small walk-in shower in your bathroom then you are halfway there because you have the basics of the enclosure in place.

The walls and ceiling of a steam shower enclosure must be waterproof. Some of the commonly used materials for this purpose are tile, slate, ceramic, marble, granite, limestone and fiberglass. The roof must be completely covered in by an acrylic dome shape or a cover made from stainless steel or fiberglass. You also have to look at the shape of the roof. If you have a flat ceiling in the enclosure, the water will drip from the roof onto your head and face as the steam rises and then condenses. For this reason, it is better to consider installing a sloping roof on the enclosure.

A steam shower enclosure or whirlpool steam shower has to be tightly sealed so that the steam will not escape into the room when you are taking a steam shower. If you do not take care to ensure the tightness of the enclosure, you could be looking at costly repairs a few years down the road. Steam can cause a lot of damage to the walls and ceilings in the development of mold, mildew and rot. In order to have this protection, you do need to give a lot of thought to the type of door you install in the enclosure.

There are a variety of doors you can choose from for a steam shower enclosure. The door has to extend to the ceiling and it must fit the frame of the enclosure very tightly. You can choose a single door or one that also has the form-fitting frame. There is a wide variety of designs and colors to choose from as well, with doors containing clear, obscure or deco glass. Depending on the size of the enclosure you build, you can also have the door custom built to fit the opening.

In order to have properly functioning steam shower units, you have to purchase and install a steam generator. You may need to hire a plumber and an electrician to do this for you if you don't have the experience needed for the job. The steam generator has to be connected to both the water line and to electricity.

The placement of the generator in the unit is also of importance to the final result. You can have this installed in a cabinet in the bathroom, in the basement or even in the attic. It doesn't need to be within the steam shower enclosure at all. Most can be as much as 50 feet away from the enclosure and still give you the proper amount of steam for your needs.
