Floating Shower Benches
More and more, designers and homeowners are adding and installing shower benches into bathroom showers.

Let’s start with the benefits of a having shower bench inside your shower:
Storage
Shower benches are a great way to add storage to your bathroom. Box-style shower benches can actually take up space in the shower though and only give you room to add products to the top of the bench, but when you install a floating shower bench, you also have room underneath the bench, keeping you from having to store bottles all along the bottom of the shower.
Design
Floating shower benches can create a spa-like atmosphere to your bathroom and elevate the feel and look of the space. Depending on your space, you can be creative with your design choice as well! When it comes to floating shower benches, there are a few main choices you can choose for your surface; granite, marble, tile, wood, and quartz. The weight of these surfaces is no match for the Free Hanging Shelf Bracket, so choose the surface of your dream, knowing it will be held securely.
Relaxation
Having a seat in the shower gives an extra place to relax. You can sit and let the water rinse over you, giving you the spa-like feeling. And after a long day at work, who doesn't want to feel more relaxed in their bathroom?
