Find Your Ideal Shower Enclosure

Tuesday, May 18th, 2010

Whatever size bathroom you have you can be certain that Big Bathroom Shop will have the perfect shower enclosure that’s right for you.

The pivot shower door style is a popular and inexpensive choice. Pivot doors open out to allow easy access, but they require more floor space to do this, this could limit your options of where you can place your shower enclosure. The pivot door type is simple and looks stunning when the shower enclosure is built into a recess, so only the pivot door is the only glass panel. Pivot doors are also available as a semi frameless design, which creates a minimalist, designer look.

The bi-fold shower door style is also another popular choice, the main advantage with this folding style is the whole side of the shower enclosure opens up to allow for easy access in and out, and they don’t need more floor space. They are a good solution for where space is limited, the bi-fold or folding door style can be used to create a full enclosure with side panels or built into a recessed area. Since this style needs a hinge mechanism, the bi-fold door does not come as a frameless design.

Create A Stunning Shower Room

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

A shower room is often used as a second bathroom or is sometimes squeezed into an awkward shaped room. Shower rooms can be difficult to get right as there is no bath to act as a focal point. If you are making the shower the main feature in the room make it as stylish and luxurious as you can by using a large, spacious shower enclosure and a large drench style shower head. If you want to open up the space more you could opt for a wet room, this way you won’t feel confined when you are showering and it will also make the room look bigger.

Installing a wet room is much more complex and expensive than installing a standard shower, but once it is installed it will be simple to keep clean and maintain. With a full wet room the water drains directly through the floor, this requires the entire room to be tanked to stop any water leaking through the walls or floorboards. The wet room floor needs to be raised and sloped in the direction of where the water drains. Using a frameless glass panel in a wetroom will prevent towels and anything else getting covered in water, but will still create that open plan look.
