Shower enclosure designs are becoming ever more sophisticated and stylish. From minimalist walk-in styles to chic frameless enclosures, showers are being improved all the time, and at prices that won't break the bank either. If you're thinking about revamping your bathroom, or have just moved to a new house with a horrible one that needs completely redecorating, use this guide for ideas about which shower enclosure might suit you best.
Framed Shower Enclosure
This is the most popular style of shower enclosure, which comes in many different sizes, colours and with a variety of door choices. You can choose from white frames, silver frames, and even gold frames for an extra touch of glamour. The doors can be sliding, open outwards, fold up to the side or as a space-saving device can fold inwards. The enclosures can fit into corners or alcoves in square or semi-circular designs. They can be large for a family-sized bathroom or extra small to save space in a compact bathroom. With a framed shower enclosure there really is no end of choice, so the best way to select one is find a style you like, consider which shape and size will fit best in your bathroom and get advice from the showroom salesman if needed.
Benefits: Gives a more traditional feel to your bathroom, and is sturdy and hard-wearing.
Frameless Shower Enclosure
The frameless shower enclosure gives your bathroom a fresher, more modern feel. The glass doors look lighter without a frame, and are just as adaptable as the framed variety. This enclosure is mostly fixed with wall brackets, allowing greater freedom for curved contours and modern designs. This is a style more suitable for the household of young professionals and the style-conscious, rather than families or people with traditional tastes.
Benefits: Modern appearance and flexibility of form.
Cubicle Shower Enclosure
Today's cubicle shower enclosures are a real treat for the home. Coming in many different styles, they offer total luxury and a complete experience for the bathroom. Choose a modern white enclosure with multiple massage jets, and seated hydromassage function. Some of the top-end models even have in-built CD and Radio systems, and a telephone! The other popular style is the wooden Finnish-style cabin housing a sauna, shower and steam option. This is ideal for anyone wishing to improve their health by sweating out toxins and using the heat to ease arthritis and other physical conditions.
Benefits: Fantastic for your health, and an amazing relaxation experience.
Walk-in Shower Enclosure
This super-stylish design is popular with owners of modern homes, especially of the loft-style apartments. A walk-in enclosure has a door with a handle that opens out like a door to any room, rather than a sliding or folding mechanism. It is generally frameless made with sleek glass, and looks incredibly fresh and modern.
Benefits: Keeps you up to date with the latest bathroom trend and adds a modern fitting to your space.
