You have decided to install a shower enclosure in your bathroom. It is time to choose the right style for you. You want to make the best choice, but have you considered every aspect?
Think about your reasons for choosing a shower enclosure. Are you looking for a modern upgrade? You may just be looking for a contemporary-looking bathroom that will add value to your home.
No matter what your reason is, these are the most important factors for making the right choice.
1. What are your plans for using a shower?
An enclosure might be necessary if you don't have the time to use your bathtub. It's a good reason to have an enclosure.
2. Are there any children or elderly users?
Don't forget to consider the needs of children and the elderly in your home! Many elderly prefer to take a bath rather than a shower. Be aware that children under the age of 3 years old cannot take a shower by themselves. Make sure you choose a shower enclosure that is safe and secure.
3. Are there other frequent users?
While it might not be true that your children or elderly live in your home, what if they come over and stay? This is something to keep in mind when you are looking for a shower enclosure.
4. What are your plans for bathing your pets?
The bathtub is a popular place to take your pet for a bath. After you have purchased a shower enclosure, consider buying a portable bathtub for your pet.
The Final Look: These are the Things You Need to Know
After you have addressed the main concerns regarding installing a cubicle, it is time to consider the important details.
Shower Trays: Pick the right one for you
1. Square Trays
This tray is very popular in modern washrooms. These features include:
- They can be used in so many ways
- Compatible with all shower doors and screens
- It can be placed anywhere in the bathroom
2. Rectangular Trays
Rectangular trays are elegant and great for large washrooms. They make the most of the space. Rectangular trays also have other benefits:
- Give enough space to allow for movement
- These are the best for sliding doors
- Because of their versatility, you can use them with a variety of shower enclosures.
3. Quadrant Trays
These trays come with two straight sides and a 90-degree angle so they can be placed in any corner. The front, on the other hand, has a curved or angular edge which can dramatically change the appearance of quadrant trays. Angular edge trays have the appearance of a pentagon.
- These are great space-savers
- They are best placed in corners
- There are many styles and sizes available
You cannot choose the right tray if you don't consider the door. You can only choose pivot doors for quadrant trays. All other trays are compatible with sliding and bifold doors. Any of the swinging, folding or sliding doors can be easily fitted into rectangular and square shower trays.
Shower Doors that Fit Perfectly
Shower enclosures are incomplete without doors. Choose shower doors that match the style of the tray.
These are the most popular styles of shower doors:
1. Doors that slide
Sliding shower doors are trendy and classy. This door looks great with a rectangular-shaped shower tray. This door is ideal for small bathrooms.
2. Folding Doors
These doors can be folded to make it easy to access a small shower enclosure. A bi-folding door is a good choice for small square shower trays. These doors can save you space.
3. Pivot and hinged doors
These doors swing on hinges and are called swinging doors. This gives them elegance, whether they are installed with rectangular or square shower trays. These are not as popular in smaller spaces because they require clearance space.
Doors' operation is what matters most. A folding or sliding door is a good choice if you have limited space.
Last words
This is an opportunity to review the important points discussed before you make your purchase of a shower enclosure. Start by measuring your space and taking into consideration other factors such as size, position, thickness, etc.
