A Closer Look at Your Options in Shower Cabins and Shower Pods

There's no denying the fact that'shower pods are much more practical and economical than baths ? after all, you can take a quick shower, but can you'really take a quick bath? We think not. And with our increasingly hectic lifestyles, more and more people are opting to install shower enclosures and cabins in their bathrooms apart from a bath, or just a shower enclosure altogether (especially if there is a space issue).

If you are thinking of having a shower enclosure installed in your bathroom, what should you know about the types of enclosures and cabins available? Let?s find out.

Modular shower cabins ? the modern, easy, and practical choice

Old-fashioned bathrooms would usually have a customised shower enclosure built for the bathroom. But if you want to have a quick and convenient installation, a modular shower cabin would be best for your needs. Why? Because a modular shower enclosure or cabin would already have all the elements you'require from a shower: a showerhead, frames, doors, and everything else that comprises a typical shower. Some shower cabins even have those all-too-tempting extras, from aromatherapy features to built-in steam capabilities to music features, and more.? The choices are seemingly endless when it comes to the modular shower enclosure or cabin you want.

What to consider with modular shower?cubicles

If you are thinking of a modular shower cabin for your bathroom, you should also know that'some may be easier to install than others. In general, a framed shower enclosure or cabin would be easier to install than a frameless one, for instance. But both are still quite easy to fit compared to traditional shower enclosures.

But in regards to modular shower cabins, you have two categories to choose from: frameless enclosures and framed enclosures.

Frameless vs. Framed: what you should consider

Frameless enclosures are usually a better choice if you are concerned with space. Small bathrooms or tight bathroom spaces are often ideal for frameless enclosures, since the doors will either have to be slid or pulled in instead of being pushed out. A frameless enclosure is not really without a frame per se, they just have smaller, more compact frames which make them look lighter and airier, and easier to maintain. On the other hand, framed enclosures tend to be more water-tight and can handle wear and tear better.

Additional options?

Apart from choosing between framed and frameless enclosures, you can also choose to have a shower cabin and steam shower in one, which is perfect if you want a more luxurious spa and bath experience. Some shower cabins also come with hydro jets and special lights and come in different shapes ranging from corner units to square shower pods and a lot more.
