Bathroom Shower Enclosures are the area's used to contain the steam and water from a shower from splashing all over the bathroom. They are formed with he combination of plexi-glass or tempered glass on a metal frame and are fitted with a door (often a sliding door) allowing for the shower to be installed either over the bath or in a separate enclosure.
There are a huge range of options as far as the designs and styles of bathroom shower enclosures are concerned. You can choose from a myriad of custom-designed and pre-fabricated models made of plastic or glass that comes with or without a metal frame. The selection even allows homeowners to pick one that would fit even the most non-traditional shower and bathtub areas.
Here I have outlined just 5 of the most common bathroom shower enclosures and their main features.
Fiberglass Bathroom Shower Enclosures - These bathroom shower enclosures are immensely popular due to the fact that they come in almost any shape and size and are low maintenance. They can be made of either 100% fiberglass or used in combination with a polyester resin.
Tempered Glass and Acrylic Shower Enclosures - This type of shower enclosure may either be framed or unframed and are generally the most appropriate for curved showers. These enclosures are sturdy and are easy to maintain. This type of shower enclosure is perfect for walk-in types of shower areas with no doors and is very sleek in appearance.
Metal Bathroom Shower Enclosures - The metal bathroom shower enclosures are becoming more and more popular as they look really good but are still tough and resilient to everyday use. They come in either copper or stainless steel and also have the benefit of being low-maintenance, anti-bacterial, non-corrosive and mildew proof.
Tile Bathroom Shower Enclosures - This option is great particularly if you have a really unusual shape for the shower enclosure, or if the access space is really small. The is a huge selection of colors and patterns to choose from, but the main problem with tiles is that they are prone to mildew and mold. To counter this problem you need to make sure that they installed correctly and then well maintained.
Glass Block Bathroom Shower Enclosures - This type of shower enclosure offers privacy, toughness, resistance to staining and low maintenance, and looks great too. However these are more expensive and will require the services of a professional to install.
As you can imagine, there is a huge range of options for you to choose from, right through from budget options to custom-designed enclosures using only the finest of materials, finishes and technology.
