There Are Many Factors That Need to Be Taken Into Consideration

Choosing a shower enclosure Before choosing a shower enclosure, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration. The first thing to check is your water pressure, decide how you are going to connect the water supply to your shower enclosure and that the water flow rate is going to be sufficient enough to provide an invigorating flow of water from the shower head. Once you have worked out the best option you can start to look at the design of your space. First of all, how big is the bathroom or wet-room that the enclosure will be placed into? What sort of decor do you have or are you looking for? This will have an impact on the style of enclosure that you eventually opt for. Look for a style that will not be out of place in several years time. Shower enclosure types There are many different types of enclosure on the market to choose from and also a huge range of prices to match! The most popular style of shower enclosure is the glass panelled shower enclosure usually mounted onto a base tray. These style of showers allow easy access, are water tight and are generally a good value option for placing in a small bathroom or en-suite facility. Enclosures like these will require that you have tiled walls to keep the enclosure water-tight, always read installation instructions very carefully when installing these enclosures to ensure the best possible finish. Tray based enclosures are sold in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles, so depending on the space you have available and the look you are hoping to achieve it should not prove too difficult to find something suitable. Frameless shower enclosures The frameless shower enclosure is a popular choice for people who are looking for a stylish functional design at an affordable price. This style of enclosure has always proved to be popular because of its simplistic frameless design and superb build quality. Looks for shower doors with strong hinges in chrome and brass. The glass should be a minimum of 8mm thickness. If you have more space available for your enclosure or are looking for something with greater space inside then you may consider a walk-in enclosure (an open enclosure without a door) or a freestanding enclosure. This type of structure is placed against one wall instead of the usual two and its appeal lies in its visually stunning spacious design which becomes a focal point in any room. Other options to consider when choosing your shower enclosure are to either incorporate your shower into your bath or to build a shower or wet room. The obvious advantage in having your shower above the bath is the space saving. If you decide to take this option, first check that your bath is suitable. The ideal characteristics of a shower bath include having a wide end at the shower end, non sloping and reinforced. You may even decide to install a P-shaped bath which is specifically designed for doubling up as a shower. If you have the space and budget for a shower or wet room then it is advisable to find a shower door (and tray if necessary) first that will fit into your space. Many online companies offer a good selection of frameless shower enclosures and shower doors. Source: shower-enclosure
