Shower enclosures
What surrounds the shower.
From a neat corner enclosure to an open walk-in or a full wet room, the enclosure decides how the shower looks, how well it keeps water in and how easy it is to step into.

The basics
An enclosure is the glass (and sometimes frame) that keeps water in. With walls on two or three sides, you only need glass on the open sides.
The main options
With a door
Square or rectangular, quadrant, offset quadrant or pentagon enclosures, and alcove showers.
Without a door
A walk-in shower or a wet room.
The door itself
Over a bath
Bath screens: fixed, hinged, folding or sliding.

Walk-in shower

Offset quadrant enclosure
A curved corner enclosure, longer on one side.
Square and rectangular enclosures
A door and side panel in a corner, in many sizes.

A five-sided corner enclosure with an angled door.

A shower set between three walls, closed with a door alone.
