Shower Stalls
Shower stalls come in a range of styles and sizes, and can be
custom built to fit a particular space. A shower stall or
enclosure acts as a waterproof surrounding that confines the water
to the shower area and stops the rest of the bathroom from getting
drenched. Modern shower stalls are made from tough materials
such as tempered glass, acrylic or fiberglass, which look sleek and
stylish and have the benefit of being easy to keep clean.
If you’re considering installing a shower in your bathroom,
you’ll need to fit some kind of enclosure around it. This
could be as simple as attaching a shower screen to the side of your
bathtub, if you’re putting in a shower above the bath. If you
want a completely separate shower stall, you’ll need to think
carefully about the best location for it. You’ll need to
ensure it’s large enough for your needs and that it will fit in
with your bathroom’s layout without obstructing access to your
bath, sink or toilet.

You can then purchase all the components that are needed to
assemble your shower stall. You’ll need to choose a shower
tray – this will determine the size of your enclosure. You’ll
then need to buy the appropriate number of side panels, and some
kind of matching door. Various kinds of folding and sliding
shower doors are available. How many side panels you need
depends on how many tiled walls you already have. For
instance, a corner shower stall will have two walls, so you’ll only
need one side panel and a door.
Shower stalls come in a variety of framed and frameless styles,
including clear glass, etched and molded patterns. Frameless
shower enclosures are favored for their sleek, open appearance,
whereas framed ones come with a choice of different frames such as
chrome or stainless steel. Which style you choose depends on
your personal tastes and budget, but for the best results think
about what look you’re trying to achieve in your bathroom and
select a shower stall design that will fit in with your bathroom’s
theme.
