The Three Most Important Aspects You Need to Think about when Buying a Shower Cabin
Shower cubicles and cabins are plentiful, and you can be sure that you?ll find one that's perfect for your needs and preference. But when you are making your choice, it's not advisable to just select a shower cubicle or cabin based on your likes or your aesthetic preference (?It looks great, so I?ll buy it!?). There are some practical considerations as well. In fact, these practical considerations will affect how you will be able to enjoy your shower cubicle for years to come. Here, then, are the three most important aspects you need to think about when buying a shower cabin.
- The style or structure
First off: the style or structure of the shower cabin. There are many different designs available today, but there are 
three more common designs and styles: the frameless shower cabin, the semi-framed shower cabin, and the fully-framed shower cabin or enclosure. If you would like your bathroom to appear sleeker and more modern, then a frameless structure might be best for you. The frameless structure is comprised only of hinges attached to glass panelling, without any visible railings or rods.
The semi-framed style of shower cabin does not usually have any visible vertical railings or profiles, although the part attached to the wall will be visible.? Semi-framed showers usually come with a sliding door as well. The third most common structure for shower cabins is the fully-framed enclosure, where the glass panelling is set or installed into the structure. This reinforces the shower cabin and makes it less likely to be affected by damage due to carelessness.
- The shape
You also have to think about the space available in your bathroom, which will determine the actual shape of the shower cabin. Shapes vary from the standard square to the rectangular shower cubicle, but quadrant shower cubicles are also quite popular. Shower trays can also be deep-seated or flat, depending on your preference.
When choosing a shower cabin, make sure that there is enough space around it for you and the other users of the shower enclosure to be comfortable. The location of your shower cabin?s entrance as well as the type of door it has will play a big role in this also. To save space, you can opt for a folding door (opening inwards) or sliding door.
- The shower door
Speaking of doors, you have four basic choices: the sliding, the folding, the pivoting, and the hinged or rotating. Sliding doors are ideal space-savers, and the same is true for folding doors, which have a larger entrance as well. The pivoting door opens outwards, whilst the hinged or rotating door closes automatically, with the door either opening into your bathroom or rotating both outwards and inwards.
