Whether your shower stands alone or is combined with a bathtub, the best way to control the shower spray is with a glass bath enclosure. Unlike a disposable shower curtain, a glass enclosure holds its looks and its value for years. It is also easier to clean and, if the time does come to replace your enclosure, its metal parts can be recycled easily.
You'll also discover that your bath enclosure adds more light and style to your bathroom. When remodelling, a well-planned glass enclosure helps you open up a tight space, creating an inviting bathroom that also adds considerably to the resale value of your home.
A quality enclosure keeps all water inside the tub or shower; looks good; allows easy movement in and out of the shower is easy to clean. An enclosure's proper installation is critical to most of these functions. That's why it's important, in most cases, to have your enclosure installed by an experienced professional. Your professional installer will be able to help you make the choices that are right for you. A professional installation will leave you with a beautiful, leak-free enclosure designed to give you and your family years of service and pleasure.
Some showers have more that one shower head and are large enough to be used by two people at once. This comes in handy for the two-career family where both breadwinners have to be out the door easily. Today's shower enclosure can consist of any number of combinations of in-line and return panels. One of the more popular space-saver configurations is the neo-angle shower. This unit fits into a corner and has three sides of glass. The two sides that attach to the walls are fixed glass with the middle panel being a hinge or pivot door.
Today's selection of shower enclosures provides a wide range of styles and design choices to fit every taste and budget. Choose the enclosure that will be perfect for you.
