Question 1

What types of shower enclosure are there?

Accepted Answer

The main types are: quadrant (curved, fits in a corner), sliding door (space-saving, no outward swing), hinged door (widest entry, swings outward), bifold door (folds inward, good for tight spaces), and walk-in panels (open entry, no door). Each suits different bathroom layouts and personal preferences.

Question 2

What thickness of glass should I choose?

Accepted Answer

6mm glass is the standard for framed enclosures and is perfectly safe and practical. 8mm glass offers more rigidity and a more premium feel — ideal for semi-frameless designs. 10mm glass is used in frameless and walk-in panels where the glass needs to be self-supporting. All glass is toughened for safety.
