Your Absolute Guide to Choosing the Most Brilliant Shower Cubicle for Your Bathroom

A shower cubicle is probably one of the most popular choices for the bathroom, especially if the bathroom is limited in space or if the person residing in the house or flat has a hectic schedule and finds showers a more practical option than baths. Showers offer a quick and comfortable solution in the morning and a relaxing experience after a busy day. However, there are different kinds of shower cubicles out there, and choosing the right one may be harder than expected. What, then, should you consider? Here is your absolute guide to choosing the most brilliant shower cubicle for your bathroom.

Counting the walls

The bathroom in a typical UK house is not that big ? in fact, often, it is one of the smallest rooms in the home. For this reason, it's important to count the walls; with this we mean that you should first decide on how big the shower should be, and then count the number of walls that can be utilised for the shower space. Take into account the door, the walls that contain windows, and where'space for closets or side-tables permits a cubicle. Of course, you should think of the existing plumbing as well.

The recessed cubicle

The recessed cubicle is fitted within three walls ? this is particularly handy if you have three walls that form a small space. Depending on the outlay and the space of your bathroom, several types of doors can be installed to form the cubicle ? the advantage of the recessed cubicle is that often, only a shower tray and a single door is needed to form the shower area.

The corner cubicle

As the name suggests, the cubicle is placed in a corner ? hence you only need to build one wall and one door. Alternatively, instead of one door and one'shower wall, your door and wall could be curved to form one whole. The quadrant, offset quad, or corner entry are viable options for the corner cubicle.

The 3-sided cubicle

This is built based on only one wall ? when no corners or enclosures with three walls are available. You?ll need to install two glass walls and one place where the entrance door hinges. It creates a focal point and can be stylish when done well.

Once you've decided on the kind of cubicle that is best for you, you can begin the process of actually designing ? there's the matter of choosing the right glass and the right doors, the shower heads, the shower tray, the taps, and the tiling or framing. Choosing shower cubicles can be fun and exciting once the sensible considerations are made and you can let your imagination run free.
