In this article, we will focus on shower enclosures, going over three key tips to help you make your design a success.
- Curb or No Curb? – One key thing you will need to consider when designing shower enclosures is whether to use a curbed or a curbless design. A curbed shower enclosure features a small lip in the floor to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom, while a curbless shower has no lip. Both types of design can be successful, but a curbless enclosure requires more careful design and installation to ensure water does not spill out of the shower area.
- Doors and Panels – Another thing to consider when designing shower enclosures is the types of doors and panels you will use to separate the shower area from the rest of the room. Some shower enclosures do not use doors at all, but only fixed glass panels, while others use sliding or hinged doors to better keep in moisture and protect privacy. Our team can help you choose the ideal combination of doors and panels for your project.
- Storage – A third thing to consider when designing shower enclosures is storage space for shampoo, conditioner, and other products. Many enclosure designs feature shelves or niches for storing these items, and your clients will likely appreciate the built-in space.
