Creating a child-friendly bathroom is crucial for ensuring safety and functionality while also making bath time fun for the little ones. At Pine Ridge Glass, we specialize in designing bathrooms that cater to the needs of families with children, focusing on safety without compromising on style. Here’s how to select the best shower doors and incorporate essential safety features in your child-friendly bathroom.
Choose the Right Shower Doors
Tempered Glass for Safety: Always choose tempered glass for shower doors in a family bathroom. This glass is designed to shatter into small, rounded pieces that are less likely to cause injury, making it a safer option for homes with children.
Sliding Doors for Ease of Access: Sliding shower doors are ideal for children as they are easy to operate and don’t require any space for a door swing. This reduces the risk of door-related accidents.
Frosted or Textured Glass for Privacy: Consider frosted or textured glass to provide privacy for young users while also adding a playful design element to the bathroom.
Incorporate Safety Features
Locks and Latches: Install locks that keep the shower doors securely closed during use but are easy enough for older children to operate in case of an emergency.
Shatterproof Film: Apply a shatterproof film to the shower doors. This film holds the glass together if it breaks, further reducing the risk of injury.
Rounded Corners: Opt for shower doors with rounded corners to minimize the risk of bumps and bruises from sharp edges.
Make It Functional and Fun
Adjustable Shower Heads: Install shower heads that can be adjusted for height, making them accessible for both adults and children.
Colorful Accessories: Add colorful, non-slip mats inside and outside the shower, along with bright towels and accessories to make the bathroom more appealing and safer for kids.
Storage Solutions: Ensure there are ample storage options within the child’s reach to store bath toys and personal care products safely and conveniently.
