Low-profile marble resin trays, such as the Volente range in sizes like 1000 x 900mm or 1100 x 900mm, give a nearly flush, contemporary finish and make stepping in easier, which is helpful for accessibility. Standard deeper trays can offer quicker drainage and sometimes more cost-effective options, but they raise the step height. Pick a low-profile tray if you want a wetroom aesthetic or have limited step-up space, and ensure you select the correct handed version (LH or RH) to match your enclosure orientation.

Start by measuring the clear floor space and where the door needs to open. Quadrant and offset quadrant enclosures (for example 900 x 900mm or 1200 x 900mm offset available in left- or right-hand versions) work well in corners of small en‐suites, while sliding doors and large frameless panels suit narrow spaces where a swinging door would hit fixtures. If you want a more open, spa-like feel, a walk-in or large sliding door such as the 1600mm options creates a spacious look. Think about where you’ll place the tray and whether you need a low‐profile step-in tray for easier access.

Glass ranges from 6mm on lighter hinged and frosted doors up to 10mm on premium frameless models; 8mm is a common middle ground for frameless sliding and infold doors. Thicker glass gives a rigid, high‐end appearance and is often used on freestanding or frameless pieces like the Vanguard 10mm quadrant, while 6mm suits compact Volente hinged doors where weight and cost are considerations. If you want the cleanest, minimalist look go frameless; if you favour robust sealing and a lower price point a framed or semi-frameless Vantage 2000 sliding will be more practical.

Clario offers finishes such as chrome, brushed brass and matt black, so match or complement your tapware and accessories for a cohesive look; for example a Brushed Brass Vantage 2000 offset quadrant pairs beautifully with matching brass handles and brass‐tone accessories. Chrome is the most versatile and easy to coordinate with the Concealed Thermostatic Mixer Valve shown in chrome, while matt black creates a strong contemporary contrast against pale tiles. If you like visual continuity, match the enclosure finish to your shower valve and tap finishes; mixing finishes can work if done deliberately for contrast.

A thermostatic mixer valve stabilises water temperature so you won’t get sudden hot or cold bursts, which is especially useful if multiple bathrooms might run at once. The Clario Concealed Thermostatic Mixer Valve listed is a twin outlet model, meaning it can feed two fittings simultaneously — for example a fixed overhead shower and a handheld spray. That setup is convenient if you want both functions without extra piping changes, and it gives you simple control over temperature and flow.
