HOW TO... A SHOWER PICK ENCLOSURE
Whether your bathroom is large or small, we can help you decide on the best design for your space...
Work with shapes already in the bathroom: rounded suites suit quadrant enclosures; for angular suites, choose square enclosures”
When redesigning a bathroom or adding a shower room, it’s important to consider your own space and requirements before choosing fittings.
Here, we give you the lowdown on the various options for shower enclosures, from quadrants to walk-ins, for bathrooms of all sizes.
Q
What’s the best option between a walk-in shower and a wet room?
Walk-in showers are a great way to add minimalist contemporary design. They tend to be more suited to larger bathrooms, but they can work in a smaller space too, with many designs fitting the footprint of a standard bath. Look for a design with a shallow tray and open glass screens for a more spacious feel. Wet rooms are more complex as the room needs to be waterproofed, but they can fit in any shape or size. No doors or shower trays also mean easy access for everyone, young and old.
Q
What would work best in a smaller space?
Quadrant enclosures are an ideal solution as they fit snugly into corners and feature an attractive curve-shaped frontage, saving on space without cramping your showering experience.
Q
What about a square or rectangular enclosure?
Square shapes work well in smaller rooms. Classic frames like bifold square enclosures are a good space-saving option, while walk-in frameless enclosures keep a room open and airy. If space allows, rectangular shapes provide more showering room and they tend to look more luxurious.
Q
Should I invest in a shower cabin?
For ultimate luxury, shower cabins offer body jets and multiple pressure settings. Some even have aromatherapy, mood lighting and Bluetooth functions for a spa-like experience.
