Shower installations range from simple one-function shower heads to full spa-like set-ups, with the Kohler shower systems available encompassing the entire range. This can make them a good company to look to when designing a bathroom. The models available range from separate shower stalls to bathtub/shower combos and steam showers, ensuring that whatever set up a homeowner is looking for, they can find it through Kohler.
Kohler shower enclosures are also typically known as shower modules, and these typically come in one-piece construction. This has the advantage of making the enclosure less likely to develop leaks, although homeowners need to take care that they have a big enough entry into their bathroom to get the enclosure in. Some of the common enclosures available include the Sonata and Freewill collections.
The Sonata range has models from 3 foot to 5 foot wide, and these include features such as a high dome roof and integral shelving to make storing bathroom products easier. The Sonata enclosure is also set up for the installation of an accessory kit for those that want this, with the kit including grab bars and additional shelving.
The Freewill collection has models from around 4 to 6 foot wide and these are designed to provide barrier free entry into the shower, making them easier to use for those with less mobility. Added features to make the enclosures more comfortable to use include a seat, stainless steel grab bars, and a slip resistant floor. Kohler Sonata and Freewill enclosures are manufactured in acrylic, come in a few colors, including white, grey, and light brown, and options are available for corner and other locations.
Various components are available to produce a custom Kohler steam shower. This includes steam generators and Kohler has a steam calculator on their website that can help identify the best generator to use based on the size of the steam room being created. Kohler offer basic and fast response generators, which come in a few sizes. The advantage of the fast response model is that it is capable of producing steam within 1 minute of being activated, while the basic model takes a little more time.
Other hardware available includes steam control kits, which include a digital control panel and steam heads, and a range of steam shower doors. The doors mostly come in a sliding bypass style and are designed to form a tight seal when closed to ensure that steam is contained in the enclosure. Options available include the Senza and Sonata steam doors, with these designed to match with Kohler modules to create a custom steam shower in a bathroom.
Kohler corner shower models typically come in a couple of styles. The Sonata collection features acrylic enclosures, with some of smaller models shaped to make them suitable for a corner location. They are available in five different lighter color options, and come molded with integral ledges to make it easy to store bathroom supplies such as soap and shampoo. An added advantage of Sonata corner enclosures is that they feature one-piece construction and this makes them less susceptible to leaks.
Those that prefer the look of glass in a bathroom can opt for Kohler Minima corner enclosures. These rectangular shape frameless glass enclosures include one fixed panel along with a panel that includes a sliding door. The panels can be installed in a corner location to form a shower enclosure and feature CleanCoat glass, which has a coating that repels water to make them easier to care for and clean. The enclosures come with polished silver finish hardware to produce a clean, attractive appearance.
There are a few options available for a Kohler tub shower combo. The innovative Elevance rising wall shower has a design that allows the wall of the bath to rise and lower for easy access and the unit comes with an optional hand shower to make showering as simple as bathing. The unit meets ADA guidelines and can make a good choice for those with less mobility to enjoy the luxury of a bath and shower.
Those looking for a fixed shower and bathtub have the option of using the Kohler subsidiary Sterling Plumbing. This company produces a variety of tub/shower combination units in a range of dimensions to suit bathroom sizes from small to large. There are a number of collections to choose from and these typically feature a bath with integral surround walls to make it easy to install a fixed or hand shower above the bath.
Kohler has a reputation as a manufacturer of premium quality bathroom ware and this extends to the Kohler shower systems on the market. Options available range from separate showers to bathtub/shower combinations and spa style shower systems. This provides homeowners with a wide variety of choice to find a shower enclosure that best suits their needs.
