Bathroom Shower Enclosures – The Right Choice

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.

To help you with selecting your preferred bathroom shower enclosure, I have listed below the five most common types and their features.

Fiberglass Bathroom Shower Enclosures – This category of bathroom shower enclosures is by far the most popular as it low maintenance and comes in almost any shape and size. The shower sectionals and modules can either be made of 100% fiberglass or a combination of fiberglass and 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 – This type of bathroom enclosures is becoming more popular because of their distinct elegance and toughness. The models that are available are the stainless steel and the copper modules. These enclosures are anti-bacterial, low-maintenance, stain resistant, non-corrosive and mildew proof. This is possibly the most modern shower enclosure you can find on the market.

Tile Bathroom Shower Enclosures – This is the best option for those who are after a unique and customized appeal for their bathroom showers. You can choose from a wide selection of colors, designs, sizes and shapes. However, you should take into account that this type of bathroom enclosure is prone to mold and mildew, and you will have to do proper sealing and regular maintenance to control this problem.

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.
