Shower Enclosures & Shower Cubicles

If you're on the search for a new shower enclosure, this guide can help you decipher between a square shower enclosure, a glass shower enclosure, a shower enclosure with sliding doors, and many other factors. From space-saving designs to luxurious walk-in styles, today’s enclosures make the most of your bathroom's space and also contributes to the overall style of the bathroom, creating a clean, cohesive finish. This buyers’ guide will walk you through the key options, helping you select a shower enclosure that fits your space, style, and budget.


Things to Consider When Buying a Shower Enclosure

To help make your shower enclosure buying decision easier, we’ve broken down the main factors to consider below, including the type of door, frame type, enclosure style, glass type and thickness, as well as the shower tray options — whether that’s choosing the right material or opting for a tray-less, walk-in design. Explore the key considerations below to help you choose.

The Different Types of Shower Enclosures

Shower enclosures and cubicles play a key role in shaping both the style and practicality of a bathroom. With options ranging from recessed to quadrant and offset quadrant, each type offers distinct benefits depending on your layout, preferences, and lifestyle.

recessed-shower-enclosure

Recessed Enclosures (Door Only or Alcove Enclosure)

A recessed shower enclosure — door only or alcove enclosure — is a shower unit built into a three-sided alcove/recess in the bathroom, maximising space and privacy when showering.

  • Space-efficient design ideal for small to medium bathrooms
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Streamlined, integrated look that blends with the bathroom layout
  • Various sizes and configurations to fit different alcove dimensions
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
  • Easy to clean and maintain due to smooth surfaces and fewer exposed edges
  • Can be combined with different tray types or even floor-level wet-room setups
quadrant-shower-enclosure

Quadrant Shower Enclosure

A quadrant shower enclosure is a curved, space-saving shower unit designed to fit into a corner, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms while providing a comfortable showering area.

  • Curved front design that maximises space in corner installations
  • Compact and space-saving — ideal for small to medium-sized bathrooms
  • Smooth sliding or hinged doors for easy access without taking up extra floor space
  • Variety of sizes and styles to suit different bathroom layouts
  • Modern, sleek look that blends well with contemporary designs
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless options
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
left-hand-entry-offset-quadrant-enclosure

Offset Quadrant Shower Enclosure

An offset quadrant shower enclosure is a corner shower with a curved front slightly longer on one side, offering extra internal space while still fitting into a compact bathroom corner.

  • Curved front with asymmetrical shape for extra internal shower space
  • Space-saving corner design suitable for smaller bathrooms
  • Comfortable, roomy interior compared to standard quadrant enclosures
  • Smooth sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Variety of sizes and configurations to fit different bathroom layouts
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless options
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
corner-enclosure

Door & Side Panel (Corner Shower Cubicle)

A rectangular shower enclosure is a shower unit with a longer, rectangular footprint, offering a spacious showering area that works well in larger bathrooms or along a wall recess.

  • Long, rectangular shape providing a more spacious showering area
  • Ideal for larger bathrooms or wall recesses
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Versatile layout options to suit different bathroom designs
  • Available in framed, semi-framed, or frameless styles for different aesthetics
  • Durable glass panels with choices of clear, frosted, or patterned finishes
  • Can accommodate larger shower trays or floor-level installations
walk-in-enclosure

Walk In Shower Enclosures

Give your bathroom a luxurious feel with a walk in enclosure. More spacious than traditional shower enclosures, they have an open, barrier-free design that creates a spacious, airy feel.

  • Provides easy access for entrance and exit
  • Fewer moving parts — like doors or hinges — mean less cleaning
  • Open design improves airflow
  • Clean lines and simple glass panels provides a minimalist feel
  • Customisable layout with different glass types and finishes
  • Can be combined with wet-room flooring or trays for seamless integration
  • Flexible sizing to suit both small and large bathrooms
wet room screen

Wet Room Screens

A wet room is a fully waterproofed bathroom where the shower area is level with the rest of the floor, allowing water to drain away without the need for a traditional shower tray.

  • Fully waterproofed flooring and walls to prevent leaks and water damage
  • Open, tray-less design for a sleek, minimalist look
  • Level floor with a concealed drain for easy water flow
  • Flexible layout that can accommodate any shower size or location
  • Easy access for people with mobility issues, thanks to step-free entry
  • Customisable finishes including tiles, vinyl, or stone for a seamless look
  • Spacious, airy feel due to the absence of traditional enclosures or doors
  • Low maintenance with fewer corners and components to clean
shower-cubicle

Shower Cubicles

A shower cubicle is a self-contained shower unit, typically enclosed on all sides with glass panels and a door. It keeps water contained while providing a dedicated showering space.

  • Fully enclosed on all sides to prevent water from escaping
  • Self-contained unit that can be installed in various bathroom spaces
  • Sliding or hinged doors for easy access
  • Compact and space-efficient — ideal for smaller bathrooms
  • Variety of shapes and sizes including square, rectangular, and quadrant
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options to suit different styles and budgets
  • Durable glass panels with options for clear, frosted, or patterned finishes

Different Types of Shower Doors

There are many shower door types to suit different spaces, including hinged doors that swing open, sliding doors that save space, bi-fold doors that fold inwards, corner entry doors designed for compact corners, and pivot doors that rotate smoothly on a hinge. The right door ensures easy access, helps prevent water from escaping, and matches your shower's style.

hinged-door

Hinged Shower Door

This is the same type of door-opening mechanism as most internal and external doors in the home. It's fixed to the wall with two or more hinges and swings open, rotating on the hinges.

  • Door swings open like a regular door for full access to the shower
  • Requires enough clearance space outside the enclosure to open fully
  • Simple, classic design that suits most bathroom styles
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options for different aesthetics
  • Durable hinges that support smooth and long-lasting operation
  • Easy to clean with fewer moving parts than sliding or folding doors
  • Provides a watertight seal when closed to prevent leaks and splashes
sliding-shower-door

Sliding Shower Door

Sliding shower doors don't make you sacrifice any external/internal space. This door is usually for larger enclosures, and the smooth sliding action makes it easy to operate.

  • Doors slide along tracks instead of swinging open, saving space
  • Ideal for small or narrow bathrooms where clearance is limited
  • Smooth-glide mechanism for easy and quiet operation
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options to match different styles
  • Durable rollers and tracks designed for long-lasting use
  • Helps contain water effectively within the shower enclosure
  • Low-maintenance design with minimal moving parts exposed
bifold-shower-door

Bi-Fold Shower Door

Bi-fold shower doors open into the showering area with a folding action. Because the door folds, there's no chance of the door encroaching into your external bathroom space.

  • Folds inward in sections to save space when opening
  • Ideal for small bathrooms or areas with limited clearance
  • Compact design maximises usable shower area
  • Framed, semi-framed, or frameless options for different styles
  • Smooth hinges or pivot points for easy folding and long-lasting use
  • Helps contain water effectively within the enclosure
  • Easy to clean with fewer tracks than sliding doors, reducing grime buildup
corner-entry-shower-door

Corner Entry Shower Door

A corner entry shower door is designed for corner shower enclosures. It typically has two glass panels that meet at the corner, creating a diagonal entry point for easy access.

  • Maximises corner space for efficient use in small bathrooms
  • Diagonal entry allows easy access without taking up extra floor space

Framed, Frameless or Semi-Framed

When choosing a shower enclosure, one of the key decisions is whether to go framed, semi-framed, or frameless, as this affects both the look and functionality of your shower. Framed is practical and affordable, semi-framed balances style and support, and frameless delivers a modern, luxurious look — your choice depends on your style preference, main priority, and budget.

Framed

This is the most common style and has an aluminium frame around all the glass components. This is the style most often used with glass measuring 4–6mm in width.

  • Extra stability and support due to the full metal frame around the glass
  • Durable and long-lasting even in high-usage bathrooms
  • More affordable than frameless alternatives
  • Effective water containment to reduce leaks and splashes
  • Easier to install because the frame provides structure
  • Less risk of glass damage as the frame reinforces the panels
  • Low-maintenance cleaning with simpler lines compared to frameless edges

Frameless

Frameless shower enclosures are the epitome of luxury and minimalism. They’re usually only found on the more expensive models with glass measuring 8–10mm wide.

  • Sleek, modern appearance with clean, minimalist lines
  • Creates a more open, spacious feel in the bathroom
  • Thick tempered glass provides strength and durability without a frame
  • Easy to clean with fewer edges and no metal framing to trap grime
  • Customisable sizes and configurations for a tailored fit
  • Enhances natural light flow in the shower area
  • Luxurious, high-end look that complements contemporary bathroom designs

Semi-Frameless

Unlike fully framed enclosures, only the vertical edges of the glass panels and doors on a semi-frameless enclosure have a frame, while the horizontal edges are frameless.

  • Modern, clean look that’s sleeker than fully framed enclosures
  • Partial framing for stability keeps the shower durable and secure
  • Effective water containment along the framed edges
  • Easier to clean than fully framed showers, with fewer metal parts to trap grime
  • More affordable than fully frameless options while still looking stylish
  • Customisable sizes and configurations to fit different bathroom layouts
  • Balances style and practicality by combining aesthetics with structural support

Glass Type and Thickness

The glass used must be toughened safety glass and manufactured to British Standard 6206 Class A with a CE stamp. It comes various thicknesses from 3mm to over 10mm and is designed to take a substantial impact for safety. When choosing glass thickness, consider the enclosure type and size: framed doors can use 4–6mm, semi-frameless 6–8mm, and frameless 8–10mm.

Frosted Glass
