The shower enclosure is an important part of your bathroom and needs to be chosen carefully. It will have an impact on your bathroom layout and other fittings so it is important to think about this before you make a decision.
Shower Enclosure Types: Quadrant, D-Shape and Square
The most popular shower enclosure style is a quadrant, which is designed to fit into a right-angle corner in your bathroom. The curved front maximizes floor space and the easy sliding doors make it ideal for small bathrooms.
D-shaped enclosures are often used where a corner is not available and are a great alternative to a quadrant. These are also usually fitted with sliding doors but can be left or right opening to suit your requirements.

Square shower enclosures are also a popular choice and they are perfect for smaller bathrooms and ensuites. These are not as compact as the quadrant style but they still offer a spacious showering experience.
There are also a number of other styles such as pentagonal and D-shaped which are slightly less popular than the square and quadrant models but offer decent space for showering in a relatively small bathroom.
Choosing a Shower Door for Your New Enclosure
There is an enormous selection of shower doors to choose from and these can vary in price as well as style, material and finish. These include hinged, pivot, sliding and bi-fold shower doors.
All of these doors will have an impact on the space and other fittings in your bathroom so it is important to carefully consider your options before you make a decision.
