Shower Enclosures: The Inside Story

In the UK, we are now a nation of showerers. From a quick, refreshing blast in the morning to a hot, targeted drench after exercising or a warm, relaxing shower before bed. For the very young to the very old, showers are well-established in most of our daily routines. Versatile, practical and enjoyable, shower enclosures are the perfect solution for 21st century bathrooms. As one of the country’s leading manufacturers, Aqata is well placed to offer insightful advice on the benefits of installing a shower enclosure in the home:-

 

1/ The variety of styles and sizes is vast. Whatever your design preference, from contemporary frameless to traditional fully framed period enclosures, they can create a stylish design statement and a stunning focal point in the room. Whether positioned in a recess, corner or back to wall, there are numerous door options available, including sliding, hinged, bi-fold, pivot, double and single, to suit any space and preference.

 

2/ Traditional baths take up a lot of space. Replacing the bath with a shower enclosure, can open out the space and create a lighter and brighter bathroom. For compact spaces, shower enclosures with inward opening or sliding doors can help maximise the available floor area.

 

3/ Whilst the walk-in wetroom look continues to remain popular, having water completely contained within a secure, fully enclosed shower enclosure ensures a dry and warm environment for all the family. Water drips can be contained further by choosing inward opening or sliding doors.

 

4/ Shower enclosures can offer so much more than simply a place to get clean. They can provide an oasis to relax, unwind and escape from the stresses of the outside world; chromatherapy mood lighting, music and steam can all be enjoyed within the confines of an enclosure. Shower enclosures from Aqata’s Exclusive Solutions collection feature water tight seals which are suitable for power showers, body jets and steam for the ultimate in home-spa luxury.

 

5/ Shower enclosures are a sound, long-term investment and can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Providing a practical showering solution for all the family, with minimal effort, they can be adapted to accommodate a family’s evolving needs. Simple design features such as aesthetically pleasing grab rails and shower seats incorporated in stylish innovative ways are practical additions which all improve accessibility without comprising on design. Doors can be widened to accommodate wheelchair users, so that the overall design of the enclosure remains unchanged.

 

6/ Shower enclosures are easy to install and maintain. Every hand built enclosure from Aqata has specially designed wall profiles with built-in wall adjustment to aid easy installation. In addition, ClearShield Eco-Glass is supplied as standard on all Aqata shower enclosures, doors and screens. This unique product has anti-lime scale properties which help the enclosure to stay looking newer for longer.

 

7/ Shower enclosures are adaptable to suit the preferred floor type. They can be installed directly onto a tiled wetroom floor or directly onto low profile shower trays, which can be fitted fully flush or raised above the floor for easy access.

 

8/ Bespoke, made to measure shower enclosures allow the creation of a personalised solution. Aqata’s ‘made 2 measure’ service allows the freedom and flexibility to create a unique showering space to suit not only the particular bathroom layout, but also personal preferences and needs. Whether the desire is for a contemporary frameless design within an awkward or challenging space or a classic design featuring a patterned glass etching or period gold profiles – it is possible to add a touch of individuality to every enclosure.

 

As refurbishing a bathroom is a significant investment, buying a shower enclosure from a reputable manufacturer such as Aqata, with a history of manufacturing excellence, ensures reliability, durability and quality engineering. A life-time guarantee ensures complete peace of mind and excellent customer service and technical support and advice is available for a smooth build.
