Shower enclosure kits are one of the hottest trends on the home improvement market right now. They are the easiest way to select and purchase an all inclusive kit designed to make adding or replacing a bathroom shower unit a breeze. Shower kits are affordable and easy to install. One of the most appealing features for consumers is the ability to choose from such a wide range of shapes in the kit selection. While the shape of your shower enclosure kit is a highly visual preference, there are also some practical considerations to take into account when selecting the best choice for your particular bathroom.
What Shapes Of Shower Enclosure Kits Are Available?
The most common shapes of shower enclosure kits are square, rectangular, rounded, and neo angled. Each shape offering also comes in a variety of standard sizes and can be custom made to your exact specifications as well.
Since on of the most common locations for a shower unit is in the corner, the square shaped enclosure is one of the most traditional. Square enclosure feature a two walled shower stall, with the additional two sides created by the enclosure itself. Square enclosures are ideal for small bathrooms where floorspace is extremely limited since their corner placement allows for the most use of the remaining square footage in the bathroom. They can accommodate a variety of door types, including out swing doors and bi-fold doors. A variation of the square design is a neo angled unit. These enclosures have two walled stalls, but are equipped with three wall enclosures, creating a unique five sided shower unit, ideal for more modern bathrooms.
Corner units can also be found in rounded designs, still having two walled stalls, but possessing a curved single piece front enclosure. Very similar to square units with regards to space saving abilities, rounded units tend to present a more flowing design and warmer overall feel. These units work best with sliding curved doors, eliminating the need for any door clearance on the outside of the shower, but can also be purchased with out swing doors as well.
For larger bathrooms, rectangular enclosures can be the ideal choice. They work not only as corner units, but can be installed on a single wall as well. In these cases, the unit would have a single wall stall with a three walled enclosure. Rectangular units are preferred in bathrooms that aren’t necessarily limited by square footage, but still want to have a free standing shower unit as the focal point of the room. These units can accommodate nearly any type of door, including sliding, out swing, and bi-fold designs.
