The Introduction of The Shower Room

In one form or another, showers have been around for thousands of years, but what once comprised of a bucket poured from above, now includes some incredible technology and plumbing, from the showerhead to the walk in shower enclosures available.

The modern bathroom has become a shrine to the power of the shower. Most of us shower at least once a day, and it’s a great way to keep clean while being economical with water, which is important for the environment. Most modern walk in shower enclosures, corner shower enclosures and quadrant shower enclosures are specially designed to minimize water wastage.

There’s a huge variety of showers to choose from, but a further factor that will affect your showering experience and the look of your bathroom is the shower enclosure. These fall into several categories, but some of the most important are walk in shower enclosures, corner shower enclosures and quadrant shower enclosures.

Corner shower enclosures are a robust and attractive addition to any bathroom. Corner shower enclosures have two sides, one with the door, and fit snugly into the bathroom, meaning that corner shower enclosures are great at making good use of the available space.

Corner shower enclosures have a lot of advantages. They can be extremely space-saving, although they do come in a number of sizes to suit everyone. The sides of corner shower enclosures fit firmly against the walls of the bathroom – usually tiled or covered in another water-resistant material – and are sealed to provide a water-tight environment. Because of their construction, corner shower enclosures are very robust and should stand up to many years of hard use. And corner shower enclosures are attractive, too, coming in many finishes both traditional and contemporary to suit the design of different bathrooms. They’re also available as walk in shower enclosures without doors.

Quadrant shower enclosures are a variation on the corner shower enclosures theme, fitting neatly into the corner of the bathroom. Quadrant shower enclosures differ in that they have a curved front and doors, which adds a particularly elegant air to the bathroom.

Quadrant shower enclosures can be even more space-saving than corner shower enclosures, though, because they lack the jutting outer edge – ideal in a tight bathroom where they allow plenty of space for bathroom users to pass. Like corner shower enclosures, though, quadrant shower enclosures come in a variety of – steel, chrome and gold are particular favourites – and they can also be bought as doorless walk in shower enclosures.

There’s also a wide range of shapes in quadrant shower enclosures. Some simply curve into the corner, while other quadrant shower enclosures have an ‘oasis’ shape that allows more space inside. One of the trends in modern bathroom design has been the move towards walk in shower enclosures, which are growing in popularity all the time. It’s easy to see why – they are good-looking, spacious and easy to clean. Some walk in shower enclosures are straight panels that fit across a suitably-sized area of the bathroom, while others are curved in the style of quadrant shower enclosures and others fit the bathroom the same way that corner shower enclosures do.

The main difference with walk in shower enclosures, though, is – as the name suggests – they don’t have doors so you can walk straight in and out, which gives your morning shower a particular air of grace and ease.

Walk in shower enclosures are of great help to people with limited mobility or parents with children, as it’s easy to get them in and out.

In the end, choosing between walk in shower enclosures, corner shower enclosures and quadrant shower enclosures is a very personal matter, depending on your requirements and tastes. But one thing’s for sure – there’s so much choice, you won’t struggle to find exactly what you want.
