What is a sunshower?
A sunshower is a special shower panel with built in infrared and UV light. While showering, your body is exposed to warmth and light, similar to the sun. This happens in a controlled and safe way. So you are not sunbathing, but receiving a mild form of sunlight while you shower.
The panel is often combined with a rain shower and hand shower. The panel is placed on the wall in the shower and is neatly included in the bathroom design.
How does it work?
It works with two techniques: infrared and UV light.
Infrared provides deep warmth in the muscles. This helps with relaxation and recovery. UV light supports the production of vitamin D. This is good for your resistance, energy and mood.
You can set whether you only use the infrared function, only UV or a combination. The sessions are short, usually between five and ten minutes. This is enough to have an effect without putting too much strain on your skin.
The benefits
It offers more than just a beautiful look. It also has real benefits for your body and daily comfort.
Relaxation and recovery
The infrared warmth helps muscles relax. This is nice after exercise, a long working day or when you have stiff muscles.
More energy
UV light supports vitamin D. Especially in autumn and winter, this can help against tiredness.
Wellness at home
With a sunshower, you bring a spa feeling into your own bathroom. You no longer need to go to a wellness centre to relax.
Sleek look
Sunshowers are modern and fit well in luxury bathrooms. They are often neatly built into the wall.
Is a sunshower safe?
A common question is whether a sunshower is safe. The answer is yes, as long as it is used correctly and installed properly.
The UV dose is low and controlled. You receive less UV than when sunbathing in the sun or using a tanning bed. Most sunshowers have automatic time settings, so you are never exposed for too long.
Does a sunshower fit in every bathroom?
Not every bathroom is suitable as standard, but often more is possible than you might think.
Important points are:
• Enough wall space in the shower
• The right power supply
• Good ventilation
• Waterproof installation
Combining a sunshower with other choices
A sunshower looks best in a calm and luxury bathroom. Think of large tiles, neutral colours and sleek lines. A sunshower is often combined with a step free walk in shower, a niche for shampoo and a glass wall.
Lighting also plays a role. Soft lighting creates extra relaxation and makes the sunshower stand out beautifully.
What does a sunshower cost?
The costs differ per model and version. On average, the prices are higher than a standard shower, but you also get a lot in return.
The price consists of:
• The panel
• Installation and electrics
• Built in work and finishing
It is an investment, but one that gives daily comfort and relaxation. Many customers say they use it more often than they expected. For general information about water saving and sustainable bathroom fittings, you can visit Milieu Centraal.
Maintenance of a sunshower
It is easy to maintain. You clean the glass panel just like a normal shower wall. The technology is neatly hidden away and needs little maintenance.
It is important that the installation is done properly. This prevents problems and keeps it working well for years.
Is a sunshower right for you?
It is ideal for you if you:
• Love luxury and relaxation
• Often have stiff muscles
• Want more energy in winter
• Want to upgrade your bathroom
