Are you dreaming of a bathroom that feels like a personal oasis? At BGW Construction, we’re passionate about turning your vision into reality. Let’s dive into the exciting world of bathroom remodeling and explore how we can create a space that not only meets your current needs but continues to delight you for years to come.
Indulge in Spa-Like Luxury with Wet Room Layouts
Imagine stepping into your bathroom and feeling instantly transported to a high-end spa. That’s the power of incorporating spa-like features and wet room layouts into your remodel. These designs aren’t just about luxury—they’re about creating a sanctuary right in your home.
Open up to the Open Concept with Wet Rooms
Wet rooms are revolutionizing bathroom design, and for good reason. These open-concept spaces eliminate traditional barriers, creating a seamless and spacious feel that can transform even the most modest-sized bathrooms. But what exactly is a wet room, and why might it be perfect for your home?
- Definition: A wet room is an open-plan bathroom where the shower area is on the same level as the rest of the room, with no enclosure or raised shower tray.
- Waterproofing Magic: The entire room is waterproofed, or “tanked,” allowing for a seamless, spa-like experience.
- Drainage Innovation: Clever drainage systems, often featuring sleek linear drains, ensure water flows efficiently without pooling.
Here’s why our clients are falling in love with wet rooms:
- Spacious Feel: By removing shower enclosures, your bathroom instantly feels larger and more open.
- Easy Accessibility: With no steps or thresholds, wet rooms are ideal for those with mobility concerns or anyone planning to age in place.
- Streamlined Cleaning: Fewer nooks and crannies mean easier cleaning and maintenance.
- Design Flexibility: From minimalist to luxurious, wet rooms adapt to any style preference.
Spa-Inspired Features to Boost Your Experience
While a wet room layout sets the stage, it’s the luxurious features that truly create that spa-like atmosphere. Let’s explore some elements that can turn your daily routine into a rejuvenating retreat:
Steam Showers:
- Imagine enveloping yourself in a cloud of warm, therapeutic steam right in your own home.
- Benefits include improved circulation, respiratory health, and stress relief.
- We can integrate comfortable seating and chromotherapy lighting for the ultimate relaxation experience.
Soaking Tubs:
- Nothing says luxury like a deep, freestanding soaking tub.
- Options range from classic clawfoot designs to sleek, modern shapes.
- Consider adding air or water jets for a massage-like experience.
Rainfall Showerheads:
- Experience the gentle cascade of a summer rain with an oversized rainfall showerhead.
- Pair with body jets for a full-body water massage.
Heated Floors:
- Step out of your shower onto warm, inviting tiles.
- Radiant floor heating adds comfort and can be more energy-efficient than traditional heating methods.
Smart Technology:
- Integrate digital shower controls to set your perfect water temperature and flow.
- Install fogless mirrors with built-in LED lighting and Bluetooth speakers for a truly modern touch.
By combining these elements, we can create a bathroom that’s not just functional, but a true retreat within your home. Imagine starting each day in a space designed for your comfort and ending each evening in your personal spa. That’s the power of thoughtful bathroom design.

Shower Innovation: Curbless Elegance and Versatile Half-Walls
When it comes to shower design, two trends are making waves in the world of bathroom remodeling: curbless showers and half-wall enclosures. These innovative approaches not only elevate the aesthetic of your space but also offer practical benefits that you’ll appreciate for years to come.
The Allure of Curbless Showers
Curbless showers, also known as zero-entry showers, are redefining bathroom aesthetics and accessibility. But what makes them so special?
- Seamless Transition: The shower floor is level with the rest of the bathroom, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface.
- Illusion of Space: Without a visible threshold, your bathroom instantly feels more open and spacious.
- Universal Design: Perfect for all ages and abilities, curbless showers future-proof your bathroom.
Let’s break down the benefits:
Accessibility Champion:
- Ideal for those with mobility issues or anyone planning to age in place.
- Easy entry for wheelchairs or walkers.
- Reduced trip hazards for everyone.
Cleaning Dream:
- No shower curb means no nooks where mold and mildew can hide.
- Simplified cleaning process saves you time and effort.
Design Flexibility:
- Works with any bathroom style, from ultra-modern to classic.
- Allows for creative tile designs that flow seamlessly from floor to shower
Increased Home Value:
- A sought-after feature that can boost your home’s resale value.
While curbless showers offer numerous advantages, they do require precise installation. That’s where our expertise comes in. We ensure proper slope for drainage, meticulous waterproofing, and flawless execution to give you a shower that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Half-Wall Showers: The Best of Both Worlds
If you’re looking for a balance between openness and privacy, half-wall showers (also known as pony wall showers) might be your perfect solution. These versatile design elements offer:
- Partial Enclosure: A short wall, typically 3-4 feet high, provides a sense of separation without full enclosure.
- Design Opportunities: Use the half-wall as a canvas for beautiful tilework or as a functional shelf.
- Light Flow: Allows natural light to permeate the entire bathroom space.
Here’s why half-wall showers are gaining popularity:
Versatile Design:
- Can be paired with glass panels for a modern look or left open for a spacious feel.
- Ideal for supporting shower fixtures without the need for full walls.
Practical Benefits:
- Offers a place to mount grab bars for safety and accessibility.
- Can serve as a built-in bench or shelf for shower essentials.
Customizable Height:
- We can tailor the wall height to your specific needs and preferences.
- Standard heights range from 42 to 56 inches, balancing privacy and openness.
Cost-Effective:
- Often more budget-friendly than full glass enclosures.
- Reduces the amount of glass needed, which can be a significant cost in shower design.
Whether you opt for a curbless design, a half-wall enclosure, or a combination of both, we’re here to guide you through the options. Our team will consider your space, lifestyle, and design preferences to create a shower that’s not just beautiful, but perfectly tailored to you.
