The Key Benefits of Shower Enclosures

Shower enclosures are a top choice for bathroom enthusiasts looking to divide their bathrooms into functional, proportionate sections. By installing a shower enclosure, you can enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. Today, there are many types of shower enclosures available, including framed-glass, frameless, semi-frameless, ready-made, and even plastic models, though glass is the preferred material for most. This article will explain the key benefits and limitations of shower enclosures to guide you towards your perfect pick!

The Necessity of Shower Enclosures (More Important Than You Think)

1.      Enhance Attractiveness and Modernity

Installing shower enclosures transforms an ordinary bathroom into a modern, luxurious space. Glass enclosures create a brighter, clearer, and more contemporary feel. For a minimalist look, consider crystal-clear glass, or for a subtler touch, opt for smoke glass, which was a favorite at the Architect’s Expo in Thailand this year. Additionally, you can personalize your bathroom by selecting various colors and styles of fittings. For instance, a square black frame can contrast with the glass to add a distinctive feature to your luxury bathroom.

2.      Easy to Clean

Glass bathroom accessories are exceptionally easy to maintain. Ordinary window cleaners can easily remove water, soap, or shampoo stains from glass surfaces. Compared to shower curtains, glass enclosures are far more convenient and effortless to clean, enhancing the brightness and elegance of your luxury bathroom.

3.      Durability and Longevity

It’s crucial to choose glass shower enclosures with a thickness of 10 mm or higher for enhanced safety and durability. Tempered glass or laminated glass is recommended. Tempered glass shatters into small, harmless pieces when broken, while laminated glass holds together, significantly reducing the risk of injury compared to ordinary glass.

Limitations of Shower Enclosures

While shower enclosures are excellent for sectioning off your bathroom and reducing accident risks, they do have some limitations. The size (width x height) of the enclosures should not be too large. For frameless glass shower enclosures, the recommended size is no more than 90 x 200 cm. If the glass exceeds this size, it’s advisable to install a support shaft to prevent shaking, though this might slightly affect the overall aesthetic.
