How to Choose a Shower Enclosure for Your Bathroom

It might not seem like a complex task, but choosing a shower enclosure for your bathroom actually takes a bit of discernment. In other words, it can get confusing, especially when you don’t have a clear idea of your shower enclosure options. To help you choose, bathroom remodeler DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Orland Park explains the most common types of shower enclosures.

Square-Shaped Shower Enclosure

Square shower enclosures are a no-nonsense option for standard-sized bathrooms. Since square enclosures need little to no customization, you can easily choose doors and frames that will give your shower enclosure a stylish yet timeless look.

Frameless Shower Doors

A frameless shower enclosure is the perfect addition to any contemporary bathroom. When you choose this type of enclosure, you’ll be able to enjoy all the light that passes through the glass and maximize the visual space in your bathroom. The lack of framing makes cleaning the glass a breeze.

Sliding Glass Enclosure

Since the door doesn’t open outward and doesn’t take up much space, a sliding glass shower enclosure is ideal for not-so-spacious bathrooms. If bathroom renovations such as expansions and additions aren’t part of your budget just yet, sliding glass enclosures are the way to go.

Glass Block Enclosure

Glass blocks are enjoying a revival, thanks to a rekindled interest in vintage home features. With glass blocks, you get both privacy and visual interest. On top of that, the style selections are practically limitless as you can choose from a wide array of glass thicknesses, textures and colors.

Other Things to Keep in Mind

Before making your shower enclosure purchase, make sure that you’ve taken proper measurements of the enclosure. You also have to take into consideration your budget restraints (if there are any) as it can affect the kind of material, brand, size and style of your shower enclosure.
