We’re not telling you anything new, but designing a wellness area goes far beyond simply choosing finishes or mapping out a thermal circuit. As you well know, every element must be seamlessly integrated into the project, both functionally and aesthetically. And in that context, the spa showers play a key role.

Whether it’s for a hotel, a wellness centre, an urban spa or a luxury residential development, having solutions tailored to the available space and the project’s requirements can make all the difference during the construction phase. In this article, we’d like to show you some of the designs from EPS spa shower trays that we manufacture and explain why more and more professionals in the sector are opting for solutions from customised bathroom showers compared to conventional models.

The importance of designing showers tailored to each wellness project

If you’ve already carried out a similar project, or if you simply visit wellness centres from time to time, you’ll know that showers are no longer purely functional. They form part of the user experience and must blend seamlessly with the rest of the facilities. This involves working with specific geometries, different drainage configurations, accessibility requirements, or designs that fit the project’s visual identity.

That is why, when we work with architects, construction companies or property developers, we understand that every project has its own specific requirements. Designing a shower for a contrast zone in a hotel spa is not the same as designing one for a new-build luxury housing development or a high-traffic wellness facility. Our aim is to offer solutions that facilitate both the installation and the customisation of the space.

Why manufacture spa shower trays from EPS?

We will always champion EPS because, thanks to its high density, it has become one of the most efficient materials for manufacturing components for wet areas. Its composition allows us to design different shapes, and its lightness makes it easy to transport and install. Best of all, its strength allows us to develop components designed to withstand the typical demands of a wellness environment.

All of this enables us to manufacture shower trays in various sizes, heights, gradients and configurations without the limitations typically associated with other traditional construction systems. For our clients, this translates into greater flexibility during the design phase and a solution tailored to the specific needs of each project. Isn’t that interesting?

Our standard shower tray designs for spas

Although much of our work focuses on bespoke manufacturing, we have several standard shower models which serve as the basis for numerous projects.

Circular shower tray

The circular shower tray is a particularly attractive solution for projects seeking to stand out through more organic and enveloping designs. Its shape allows it to be easily integrated into spaces where the user experience and aesthetics play a key role. As well as lending a distinctive character to the overall design, it offers a balanced use of space and can be adapted to different installation configurations.

Rectangular shower tray

This is one of the most versatile and widely used options in wellness projects. Its design makes it easy to integrate into virtually any architectural layout and allows for the optimal use of available space without compromising on comfort. For this reason, it is often one of the most popular choices.

Shower tray with bench

When a project calls for a higher level of comfort and functionality, a shower tray with an integrated bench is an excellent option. This type of solution is particularly useful in installations where the aim is to improve accessibility, create relaxation areas or incorporate features that enhance the user’s comfort. Furthermore, as it is manufactured as an integrated unit, it achieves greater aesthetic consistency and is easier to install.

Raised shower tray

The latest addition to our standard range is our raised shower tray. These spa shower trays are a highly sought-after solution when there are constraints relating to drainage, gradients or existing installations. Thanks to the versatility of EPS, we can adapt these configurations to the specific characteristics of each project and facilitate integration with the other elements of the wellness area.

Nowadays, in luxury projects it is not enough for the spaces to be beautiful, what really matters is the experience they offer to all the people who are going to live in them. A spa, a green area, a paddle tennis court or a playground are some examples.

It is clear that today's buyers are looking for more than just square metres or quality finishes. This is a given and they also prioritise wellbeing, disconnection and the possibility of enjoying experiences at home that they previously only found in high-end hotels. In this context, the private spa has become a key equipment to offer a complete and healthy lifestyle.

A spa designed specifically for the interior of a home is not a simple addition. It is a space designed to promote physical recovery, relaxation and emotional balance. In our experience, developers and builders who develop high-end projects and incorporate this type of equipment create more complete homes that are more in line with the needs of their clients. international trends in residential wellness. Today we tell you why this is so important and what are some of the technical specifications you should consider before you buy. include a private spa in your project:

Why is a private spa a must in luxury homes?

As we mentioned, the concept of wellness has evolved a lot over the last few years. Today it encompasses not only sports, but also relaxation, stress management and personal care. This trend, which was previously more common in the luxury hotel sector, is gradually moving into the residential sphere and is seen by high-end buyers as a key differentiator.

Benefits of a private spa for the high-end buyer

Luxury homes are conceived as spaces that accompany the daily rhythm of their residents. The fact of having a private spa offers privacy and absolute freedom. All are benefits; the simple fact of the location as it is in your own home, the personalised use without restrictive schedules or the isolated, safe and quiet environment without sharing it with other people. It is literally that, a private space designed specifically for unique sensory experiences ranging from whirlpool baths to saunas to showers. For many buyers, having such a space inside the home is synonymous with quality of life and wellbeing.

Transforming the life experience with a private spa

While other equipment located in wellness centres is enjoyed on an occasional basis, a well-integrated spa in one's own home becomes part of everyday life. A private spa is a space that combines design, comfort and technology to offer whirlpool baths that favour muscular relaxation, silent and efficient air conditioning and filtration systems, ergonomic solutions that take care of posture and adjustable lighting and temperature to create a unique atmosphere. In short, an exclusive and beneficial relaxation experience, both physically and mentally, for the residents of the luxury homes.

What technical aspects should your construction company take into account when including a spa?

Integrating a spa into a new construction project requires technical planning to ensure that its daily use is comfortable, safe and, most importantly, long-lasting. No one wants to redo a building or fix unnecessary mistakes, especially not in high-end homes. It is essential to ensure the functionality and durability of the space and facilities starting with a reliable structural basis. At EP Elements we manufacture this EPS structural base ensuring compliance with the highest standards of strength and safety for any high-end residential project.

How to ensure that the spa is functional and long-lasting

The structural basis of EPS for spa allows the design of a comfortable and functional, aesthetically pleasing and durable spa. In addition, it is essential to provide a layout that facilitates circulation and accessibility, easy-to-maintain and moisture-resistant coverings and warm (and dimmable) lighting that reinforces the feeling of calm. Thanks to the technology, characteristics and precision of the EPS base, the elements of the spa can be stably and safely integrated into any type of project.

Systems and equipment that guarantee comfort and efficiency

It is important to bear in mind that the comfort of the spa itself also depends on less visible factors. A professional design and installation from the start of the project with quiet and unobtrusive equipment, efficient water filtration and control systems, ventilation that keeps the environment stable and energy efficient systems are vital to ensure a hygienic, comfortable and durable space for years to come. Combining these elements with the structural base made of EPSThe spa is fully enjoyable from day one and maintains its performance over the long term.

In short, incorporating a private spa in high-end homes is a very wise long-term investment. It transforms the high-end residential development into a space that meets the buyer's expectations and reinforces the premium project identity.

Materials and initial design to ensure waterproofing

Choosing the right material is crucial. EP-Elements prefabricated systems, made of high-density EPS and specific coatings, make shower trays and steam bath modules fully waterproof.

Advantages of EPS in bathroom and shower construction

The high resistance to humidity prevents water absorption and the formation of internal condensation. Its light weight makes it easy to transport and reduces risks during assembly, while the versatility of design allows it to be adapted to customised projects without compromising watertightness. The modular design also facilitates the integration of pipes, drains and drains, ensuring that all critical points are sealed from the factory and reducing errors common in traditional constructions.

Professional installation techniques for optimal waterproofing of your projects

The correct installation of prefabricated modules is essential to achieve durable waterproofing. Our technicians recommend following specific procedures, such as the use of EPS compatible adhesives and sealants, verification of seals and leveling check before final sealing.

Quality control during assembly

In the process of installation, joints and corners are checked to ensure that there are no gaps that could allow leaks and, most importantly, the following is done watertightness testing by means of water load simulations before the project is delivered. In addition, the integration of finishes, such as ceramic or resin coatings, follows technical protocols that maximise waterproofing. These practices prevent moisture and leakage problems, ensuring that the installation meets the safety, durability and comfort standards expected by clients.

Benefits of EPS for builders and developers

We insist that working with EP-Elements prefabricated systems allows builders and developers to shorten construction times, reduce risks, adjust costs and offer their end customers safe and durable installations.
