Create the perfect shower enclosure to relax and unwind in

Housing Thu, Apr 8, 2021 3:11 PM

In recent times the demand for ‘all glass’ shower enclosures has increased year upon year.

Their sleek design, often with a minimal frame or no frame at all, are a popular choice for interior designers and homeowners alike looking to provide a sense of luxury to their bathroom interior spaces. The popularity of glass shower enclosures is as great as ever in these times of uncertainty.

As homeowners look to adapt their homes into place of work, relaxation and entertainment, kitchen tables have become home schooling hubs, living rooms converted into offices and bedrooms into mini gyms.

People are looking to create areas of the home to relax and unwind, no more so than the bathroom. For many the bathroom or shower room is a place of sanctum, a place to relax, clear the mind and hide away from the children for a while!

Modern glass shower enclosures are intrinsically light and airy because of the expanse of glass used within the design, so it’s no great surprise that designers use glass shower enclosures to create serene spaces to relax and unwind in. Today’s enclosures are typically minimal in design, the days of clunky edges and imposing framed enclosures are long gone!

A range of solutions are available to create your perfect shower enclosure, glass can be fixed in recessed channel (for minimal disruption on the eye), or by glass clamps and/or glass to glass and glass to wall fixing hinges, or a combination! For the ultimate in simplicity a single pane of glass set in recessed u-channel at the bottom and fixed at the top of the panel with a support arm provide a luxurious minimal feel.

Sliding glass shower doors are also a great option for creating calm spaces and modern bathroom designs. The Cascade sliding shower door system is a high quality ‘wall to wall’ system with a sleek unimposing design, available in kit form and polished stainless steel or matte black finish, it’s a firm favourite with both designer and installer.

With a large range of shower hinge styles and finishes, handles and knobs, sliding door systems, fixed panel systems, u-channel profiles, support bars, door seals and wipes or shower cubicle systems for commercial applications, there is sure to be a solution to suit your design requirements.
