An outdoor shower provides a unique sensory experience where you can enjoy a warm bath in nature or a refreshing rinse on a hot summer day. In addition, an outdoor shower comes in handy after activities such as swimming or sports, as you can rinse off sand and dirt before going inside. Frostline offers frost-proof and self-emptying outdoor showers that combine functionality and aesthetics to create a durable and practical solution.
When choosing an outdoor shower, it's a good idea to choose a self-emptying outdoor shower. This is because frost cracking can occur with non-self-emptying showers and bacterial growth can occur inside the fitting. Therefore, we recommend that you choose a frost-proof mixer. There are electrically powered models for larger installations that keep the shower frost-free by using electricity. Alternatively, you can choose a Frostline shower, which with our mechanical self-emptying function remains frost-free year after year - without the use of electricity.
In addition to choosing a self-emptying shower, it's a good idea to choose a model with a sufficiently large water volume. For an outdoor shower, we recommend a minimum of 18 litres per minute as this provides a much more satisfying bathing experience.
Using a regular shower outdoors is not recommended as it is not designed for the Nordic climate and frost cracking can occur. In addition, bacteria can form in the water if it stagnates. Outdoor showers with a self-emptying function, such as those offered by Frostline, are specifically designed to resist frost and bacteria, ensuring long durability and a hygienic solution.
A self-emptying outdoor shower protects against frost cracks and bacterial growth, providing a more durable and hygienic solution. Damage from frost is often not covered by warranties, which can result in expensive repairs. With a self-emptying feature like Frostline's outdoor showers, these risks are reduced and you get a longer-lasting shower solution that requires minimal maintenance.
An outdoor shower is connected to your water supply and can be heated if you wish. Some outdoor showers, such as those from Frostline, are equipped with a self-emptying function that automatically drains the shower of water after use. This prevents frost cracks and bacterial growth and ensures that the shower is always ready for use, whatever the weather.

The price of an outdoor shower depends on quality and features. Budget models can be had for under £5,000, but they can be prone to frost cracking and have a shorter lifespan. Outdoor showers with frost protection and self-draining features, such as those offered by Frostline, may cost a little more, but they are a longer-lasting investment and require less maintenance.
Winter is beautiful but can be harsh. If you want to ensure your outdoor shower lasts through the seasons, frost protection is essential. With a frost-protected solution, you can enjoy outdoor bathing without worrying about frost damage.
Outdoor showers need to withstand the northern weather, where frost, rain and wind often make life hard for outdoor equipment. A shower with frost protection and weatherproof materials ensures you have a solution that withstands both snow and sun - and extends the life of your shower.
Self-draining showers make life easier by automatically draining the water after use. This reduces the risk of frost damage and the need for maintenance, so you can enjoy your outdoor shower all year round without worry, whatever the temperature.
