If you’re remodeling a bathroom, you must decide on a shower enclosure. The design that you select will depend on the size of your bathroom and individual preferences. There are several types available, and choosing the right one will significantly improve the bathroom’s comfort and aesthetic. Below are a few different enclosures to help you decide.

What Are Some Common Shower Enclosures?

1. Quadrant

Also known as a semi-oval, a quadrant shower enclosure has a smooth curved radius and fits in the corner of a bathroom. The design is perfect for areas with limited space because it is thin and long. It is unique and will also give your bathroom a modern look.

2. Frameless

They will also help your bathroom look bigger and more open, as you can see through the shower. To maintain them, wipe down the glass with a squeegee after use. They are also resistant to rust because they are almost entirely glass.

3. Rectangular

A rectangular shower enclosure works best in bathrooms that aren't perfectly square and may have an unusual layout. These have longer side walls and shorter end walls, and they break up the larger area into a uniform shape. You will have more room to move around if you install this enclosure, as they are not wide.

4. Half Circle

This design has one straight side and is one of the most modern enclosures available. However, it requires a larger bathroom because it takes up considerable space and bows toward the walkway. The enclosure is also more expensive, as the installation is more challenging and technical than traditional designs.
