Frameless Shower Enclosures

With the world becoming bigger and rooms becoming smaller, space utility with elegance should be the theme for your interiors. Be it the bedrooms, kitchen or even the bathroom, smart spaces are in and here to stay. The best option to add zing and utility to your bathroom space is a walk in shower enclosure.

By general definition, a shower enclosure is a cubicle exclusively designed for the purpose of taking a bath. It is fitted with a shower and all the fixtures required, for keeping necessary things inside it. Generally it is of a size enough for a normal adult. One of the latest innovations in these walk in enclosures is the quadrant type. These are meant to be fitted in a corner of the bathroom. The curved radius glass makes the bathroom look bigger than it actually is. A quadrant shower enclosure generally comes in three sizes 800,900 and 1000mm.

Another intelligent option in walk-in shower enclosures apart from quadrant shower enclosures are the frameless ones. These are shower cabinets made of glass and the hinges are fixed through the glass, making metal frames unnecessary and giving it a frameless look. While choosing fixtures for a bathroom, one always looks for utility, durability and looks. A frameless enclosure gives you all. Its utility lies in the fact that, on the one hand it saves a lot of space, and on the other hand it makes a smaller space look bigger. Also, it helps keeping the bathroom clean by ensuring that the water does not flow out to the other areas of the bathroom. Even the powder table can be included in the bathroom as all the cosmetics and clothes will be safe from water.

The durability factor depends on the source you get your enclosure from. Generally, a glass of 3/8, 3/4 or 1/2 inches is used in making it depending on the dimensions the enclosure is supposed to be of.

Frameless shower enclosures are always a delight to look at owing to its transparent effect which lends a look of luxury to the bathroom. One thing to be kept in mind though is to use ultra clear glass only. The normal glass has a green tint to it that keeps increasing with the thickness of the glass, spoiling the transparent look. The frameless cubicle when teamed up with a combination of tiles or stone or even a mosaic of small tile pieces creates an effect that is soothing to the senses, pleasing to the eye and contemporary in appeal.
