It can make the morning bathroom routine more efficient and relaxed for the whole family.

You need to ensure enough space is left between enclosure/screen or cubicle and the other bathroom furniture to ensure a good fit. Both framed and frameless designs are available, creating different effects. We also have a choice of shower door styles, including pivot doors, sliding doors, bifold doors and quad doors.
How to decide on a new Shower Enclosures
There are a few things to consider when choosing a shower enclosure.
Consider the shape of your bathroom. If there’s a natural place for the shower in an alcove, you can shop for a door. This leaves plenty of the floor area available for other fittings. If you need more than a door, decide on a shape for the enclosure. Pick from square, quad, offset quad and rectangle shapes. Remember that you need to achieve a balance between the area for showering inside the enclosure and its impact on the rest of the room. This is to retain the necessary space for each fitting and to move about. Check out quadrant enclosures if you want to find a solution to maximise space Think about access to the enclosure. You will need a clear area to open a hinged door so it doesn’t knock into other fittings. Pivot doors take up less space when they open, so are an option where space is more limited. For more compact bathrooms and en suites, look at sliding and in-fold doors. You won’t have to allow space for these to open into the room. Choose between framed designs with visible and frameless options. Visible frames offer a classic look. Frameless is more contemporary. Pick out tiles. Large tiles in light, reflective colours on both floors and walls will make the shower room seem bigger. Check out paint colours for the walls and ceiling. Opt for finishes that can cope with high levels of condensation.
