How to Choose the Right Type of Shower Enclosure

Walk-in bath companies and shower design experts take a lot of factors into consideration when choosing or designing a shower enclosure. First, it must be large enough to remain comfortable while still fitting snugly into a bathroom. Second, it must match your style and must include functions and features that you will use. Lastly, your shower enclosure must also pair well with the rest of your bathroom’s design.

You can help your contractor provide you with the best shower enclosure by communicating what your expectations are for this part of your home. Read on as our experts at Total Bath Systems can help you understand some of the important things you need to include in your shower enclosure.

Quadrant Enclosures for Corner Showers

If your bathroom has the space for it, consider asking your walk-in tub conversion contractor to install a quadrant-style shower enclosure for your bathroom. The curved front side of this enclosure helps turn your shower into either a beautiful centerpiece in your bath or a worthy complement to other fixtures in the space. Quadrant enclosures can take up a lot of floor space, however, so weigh this carefully before making a decision.

Rectangular Shower Enclosures for Seamless Transitions

KOHLER® LuxStone offers a wide variety of rectangular walk-in showers that can either be enclosed or freestanding. Low-threshold showers are a great safety feature for family bathrooms and its rectangular shape can be customized to create a seamless transition between the shower space and the rest of the bathroom’s interiors.

Tile and Glass Decisions Matter

Don’t be afraid to talk to your tub-to-shower conversion contractors about mixing and matching different colors and patterns for the glass and tiles of your shower enclosure. Explore combinations of dark-colored tiles with rippled glass doors or stone textures and framed glass to really capture your style.
