Quadrant Shower Enclosures

If you want a bathroom that is both stylish and practical, a quadrant shower enclosure is definitely worth considering. These enclosures not only look great but are also low maintenance, making them ideal for everyday use.

Quadrant enclosures are among the most versatile options available, suiting almost any bathroom regardless of its size or style. Take a look at our FAQs below to find out what these enclosures have to offer, helping you make a more informed decision before buying.

 

Why choose a quadrant enclosure?

Corner shower enclosures are among the most commonly found in bathrooms across the country, and it’s easy to see why. They feature neat, simple designs that complement any bathroom. Available in a wide range of shapes and sizes, quadrant shower enclosures are suitable for everything from large bathrooms to small, compact spaces, so finding one that fits is rarely a problem.

They are also easy to clean and maintain. Simply wipe down the glass after each shower and clean the tray regularly. The metal framework may need occasional attention, but a quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that’s required.

There are several types of quadrant shower enclosures to choose from, including framed, semi-framed and frameless options. The choice comes down to personal preference and determines how much metal frame is visible. Frameless enclosures offer a sleeker look but are generally less durable than framed options.

 

Are they easy to install?

They are relatively straightforward to install if you have experience with this type of fitting. However, we don’t recommend attempting it yourself if you’re a complete novice. If you have any doubts, it’s always best to contact a professional.

 

Is glass thickness important?

The glass in quadrant shower enclosures typically ranges from 4mm to 10mm in thickness. Thicker glass is generally more durable, and many enclosures use toughened safety glass for added protection. You can find the specific glass thickness for each enclosure listed in the product description on our website.

 

What tray will I need?

Shower trays come in a variety of sizes, making it easy to find one that fits your enclosure. They are also available in different colours, allowing you to coordinate the tray with the rest of your bathroom. While some trays are made from alternative materials, most are made from resin, which is extremely strong and designed to withstand regular use.

 

Do you need leg stands and a panel?

If you want to raise your enclosure or avoid drilling into the floor, you can elevate the tray using leg stands. A panel is then fitted around the bottom of the tray to conceal any exposed pipework resulting from the raised enclosure.
