Whether it is to wash away the sweat of a hot summer day or to wake your cold body on early winter mornings, baths are a non-negotiable ritual. Bath time is for complete mind and body rejuvenation.
So, how can you enhance your bathtime routine without crowding your bathroom or compromising on aesthetics? The answer is shower enclosures.
A shower enclosure can completely transform your bathroom. Installing a shower cubicle can add style and sophistication, giving your bathroom a spacious and luxurious look. Here is the ultimate guide to selecting an ideal shower enclosure.
What is a Shower Enclosure?
A shower enclosure is a glass cabin or contained area installed in your bathroom. It is a cubicle that separates the wet and dry areas and prevents water from splashing all around.
It is made of glass panels and doors to blend seamlessly with the other bathroom elements. In addition to being a functional box for your bath time routine, a shower enclosure also gives your bathroom a fresh look.
Factors to Consider When Selecting an Ideal Shower Enclosure
Here are a few points you must consider when selecting a shower enclosure for your bathroom.
Floor Space and Size
To choose the right shower enclosure, measure your bathroom and available floor space to assess the correct style and type of enclosure. If your bathroom has limited floor space, you can opt for a bi-fold or sliding door shower enclosure, whereas for bigger bathrooms, a luxurious hinged glass enclosure will be a great option.
Design Flexibility
You need a shower enclosure design that blends well with the entire bathroom, is highly functional and does not crowd the available space. Thus, you must choose an enclosure that allows you to experiment and find the right fit.
At AIS Glass, you can customise the enclosure based on the glass type, frame material and hardware to ensure it reflects your style and elevates your bathroom’s elegance.
Ease of Maintenance
Shower enclosures are constantly exposed to water. Therefore, it is important to consider the enclosure’s material and the required maintenance effort.
AIS Glass shower enclosures are made of high-quality glass to ensure maximum durability without compromising style and privacy needs. Regardless of the materials involved, regular cleaning using a soft cloth and glass cleaner can ensure they remain neat and crystal clear for a long time.
Budget
Before exploring the various shower enclosure options, define a budget. This will help you choose a design that complements your bathroom aesthetics without compromising on quality or overspending.
