How to Pick the Right Shower Enclosure

When looking for the right shower enclosure, there are a number of factors that have to be taken into consideration; chief among these are the space that you have in your bathroom, and what kind of design will work best without losing the basic functionality of the room. At the same time, it’s important to think about how resilient your shower enclosure will be over time, and whether an investment in bespoke enclosure materials and designs will ultimately benefit the interior design aesthetic of your home.

Space

In terms of space, you may be tired of your shower enclosure taking up a lot of unnecessary space in your bathroom - this can be a particular problem in small houses and flats where space is at a premium. A solution to this problem might be to remove a large enclosure, and replace it with an alcove shower enclosure that fits better into a wall - hinged doors and sliding panels can be used to create an enclosure that is better integrated with the space you have available.

An alcove enclosure for your shower may also be a good idea if you’re planning to convert all or part of your bathroom into a wet room, whereby you have a walk in shower on the same level as the rest of the flooring, and waterproofed walls and ceilings. Sliding doors can easily be adapted for this design to make the most of your space. Extra features like screens that can be folded away, or that be built to run from ceiling to floor can also mean that you can make your enclosure a minimalist addition to your bathroom, or integrated well enough to not take up a lot of space.

Resilience

Another important consideration for a shower enclosure is whether you want to invest in one that will stand up to a lot of use over time, and one that will be able to retain its quality over moisture and accidental damage. Toughened glass can be used for shower screens that provide anti shatter properties; this approach can be strengthened through safety bars, and by the use of anti limescale protection that will let your enclosure last for longer without needing additional maintenance. Polished finishes can also be a good idea if you want to create a look that can be easily cleaned and maintained compared to more traditional enamel baths and shower fixtures.

Bespoke Options

Choosing a bespoke shower enclosure is a good idea if you want to experiment with the design of your bathroom, and if you have any particular preferences for your fittings - curved screens, misted glass, and brushed nickel or chrome fixtures can be added and sized to your specifications, and can provide you with a timeless design that can be used for an extensive period of time. This approach can also be enhanced through easy clean treatments, as well as polished finishes that will enhance the general appearance of your bathroom. Having a bespoke shower enclosure consequently means that you can maintain a minimalist, but still high quality aesthetic for your bathroom, and one that can be adapted if needs be for a full wet room effect.
