Shower Enclosures

Shower enclosures can fit into even the smallest of bathrooms, and are in fact, a great option for smaller bathrooms that do not have the footprint to accommodate a bathtub shower. From a width ranging from 25 inches to over 60 inches, you can choose to have a small, functional shower enclosure; or a roomy, opulent enclosure with all the bells and whistles.

Installation Type

Corner shower enclosures are the most popular type of standing shower in this category. This is because most bathroom corner spaces are wasted space. This makes them perfect for installing a standing shower that will not take up a lot of room. Corner showers include our slimmest options, which is ideal for those with very small bathrooms without a lot of extra space.

Alcove installations are enclosed showers that are placed in a special enclosed space. Installed against a wall or butted up against a corner area, the alcove installation is essentially a shower enclosure that is not a corner-based or corner-plumbed unit. They are the most versatile installation and offer the most options in terms of design, shapes, and framing.

Enclosure Shape

Remodeling your space means adding convenience and style in equal measure. With different enclosure shapes available, you can update your bathroom with an enclosure style that shows off the right curves or angles your space needs.

Among shower enclosure shapes are rectangular, neo-angle, curved, and square. Rectangular is by far the most popular shape, primarily because it's so easy to complement a corner or wall with this shape. Square and rectangle are self-explanatory, while neo-angle refers to a modern shape that looks something like a protruding trapezoid. Curved style promotes a half-dome appearance without the harsh angles. Curved doors are found primarily on corner shower installations.

Door Type

Most shower enclosures are small enough to require a door to keep the water in. Each enclosure shape has its own door type. The four main door types are hinged, sliding, pivot, and shower screen. A hinged door is a traditional type of door that swings open on hinges.

A pivot door is something like a combination between a rotating door with a hidden hinge system. The door swings on a set of pins on the top and bottom of the frame as opposed to hanging from vertical hinges. This type of door emphasizes clean lines and a modern shape.

A sliding door saves space by sliding open and shut, not requiring any additional space.

Finally, a shower screen is a type of frameless enclosure. This may appear as if there is a wall or screen of glass with a section that is open for entering and exiting the shower with ease. The open space is typically out of reach of the shower head so that water will not escape. The shower screen option means no opening doors to get into the shower. It also provides a sleek and simplistic look without bulky doors or additional framework.

Glass Texture

The glass of the enclosure and doors are available in three main textures: clear, frosted, or pattern. The clear offers a completely transparent glass encasing, which can show off your excellent tile job as well as make your bathroom appear brighter and open.

Frosted glass or patterned glass are the best choice for more privacy. Frosted glass is exactly like it sounds: it allows light to shine throughout the room while obscuring any figures in the shower. Patterned glass is made with a frosted or obscure background that is then etched with different patterns.

Frames

As enclosures are made from either transparent or frosted glass, many people have found that they prefer the look of frameless shower enclosures. Framed enclosures are still very popular, especially they can accent existing hardware in the bathroom. Frameless is most popular with clear glass enclosures, which makes it appear as if there is almost nothing between you and your shower.

After you choose your preferred enclosure installation spot, glass texture, and shape, be sure to check if you require a base or not. If you have already had your bathroom remodeled and tiled (your shower floor and drain are already installed), then you will not need a base. However, if you have a blank space ready for whole-shower installation, then you will require base for your shower enclosure.

A Sleek and Modern Upgrade

Shower enclosures are a modern method of installing shower units without a traditional bathtub base. These enclosures may be installed in corners, against walls, encased in glass, and shaped with various angles for a stunning walk-in shower that will upgrade your bathroom with convenience and modern know-how.
