When it is the time for a shower after a long and tedious working day, when it’s time for a steam bath after a long nap, when it’s time to get relaxed with the drizzling water on you; you better opt for a shower inside your shower enclosure and under your shower panel. For those who are wondering what these are, they are nothing but modern vanity for your bathroom where you can find a place to relax. If you are still in a dilemma as to install them or not, I think I can help you get rid of that when I finish this article.

Let’s start with the most essential element inside the bathroom, an up-to-date shower panel. While choosing the most exotic and chic shower panel, try to keep in mind your needs and budget as they come in different variants and ranges. They can be made of fiber glass, brass or even stainless steel. The prices differ according to the materials they are made of and the functionalities they are endowed with. The exquisite and fresh designs make them easy to install wherever you want. You can place them in the corner or at the walls, as suited for your bathroom.

The shower panel finds the maximum utility in not allowing the water to spread all over the bathroom and make it untidy and unhygienic. Hygiene is the most important concern. The prices can range anywhere from $900 to $2000, depending on the market and materials. Moreover, if you opt for buying one online, you can also save money with discount codes or free shipping to your house. It is worth mentioning that different markets offer different variants of shower panels and you need to pick the right option for your bathroom. Though fiber glass shower panels are very delicate, you can go for corner panels which are sturdier and even steady.

Now, if you have already spent a good amount for your shower panel, there’s no need hesitating to buy a shower enclosure. Shower enclosures are one more kind of modern vanity for your elegant and exotic bathroom. For modern bathroom design right from the scratch or for renovation of older ones, you can always go for a shower enclosure and a shower panel embedded inside it. Shower enclosures come with doors which may be sliding, frameless or swing. In either case, the doors are considered as “green product” as they are mostly made from recyclable materials.

Quadrant Shower Enclosures are a relatively new but welcomed addition to the modern bathroom. Long gone are the days when a shower was only an addition to a bath, or just a simple square fixture in a bathroom. The shower enclosure has evolved and a number of different variations have been created, one of these being the roomy but space-saving Quadrant Shower Enclosure.

So what’s the difference between a Quadrant Shower Enclosure and any other shower enclosure?

Upon visual inspection, you’ll see that the Quadrant Enclosure is very spacious but actually doesn’t take up as much floor space as a square or rectangular shower enclosure. The quadrant shower has the added benefit of being large without being imposing in a bathroom. The shape of quadrant showers also differentiates these enclosures, where a regular shower would have a hard corner, the quadrant enclosure curves in, and this is how it saves space.

Quad shower enclosures, for this reason, are much more versatile and can adapt much more easily in a variety of bathroom sizes. Another notable difference (and benefit) of the quadrant enclosure is that due to its curved designed, it accumulates significantly less grime, dirt and limescale than other shower makes. So, the quadrant shower’s curve not only looks sleek and stylish but also makes the enclosure much easier to clean and maintain. Furthermore, the quadrant shower enclosure’s doors often slide across, instead of opening outwards, meaning no resulting water drips when opening the shower door.

Quadrant Shower Enclosures come in a range of sizes – from 800mm, 900mm to 1000mm. Offset doors are also available ranging from 900mm x 760mm, in a number of sizes through to 1200mm x 900mm. Both types of enclosures are generally adjustable by approximately 30mm.

I want to buy a Quadrant Shower Enclosure – where do I start?

Quadrant Showers are available across the UK from a number of manufacturers. Three of the best (and best-priced) are April Bathroom Products (April Showers), Manhattan Showers and London Water Closet Company (LWCC).

These products are available in the UK, generally from a number of reputable Bathroom Stores, including online stores BathroomTrade.co.uk and Ebathroom.co.uk. All Manhattan’s Quadrant Showers come with a number of practical benefits including a smooth running shower door and “click ‘n’ clean” system for easy cleaning. The “click ‘n’ clean” system means that its quadrant shower doors have spring-loaded, front operated bottom guides, which when pressed, release the bottom of the door so that it swings inward, making it easier to fit, maintain and keep clean.

Manhattan Shower Enclosures come with a 10 year guarantee but also include a combination lifetime guarantee when purchased with a Manhattan Duralite shower tray.

April Bathroom Products collection also has a range of products, including Identiti 2 (standard/mid range) and Prestige (premium range). Some of the April Quadrant’s benefits are quick release doors (for cleaning, similar to Manhattan’s “click ‘n’ clean” system, above), 6-8mm thick glass, concealed fixings and profile covers, and they’re even wet room compatible.

As a standard, April provides a lifetime warranty on its products. Last but not least, London Water Closet Company (LWCC) produces quality but inexpensive quad shower enclosures with a 10 year guarantee. These quadrants are generally available in chrome with clear glass and are priced in a budget/mid range.

Quadrant Shower Enclosures really are a smart choice for your bathroom. I hope this short guide has been useful for you, firstly to highlight the benefits of quadrant showers and secondly, where to look for UK’s best quadrant shower suppliers!

The current trend towards minimalist bathrooms has led to sliding shower door  products growing increasingly popular. Contemporary bathroom design with a minimalist look offers a sanctuary away from the outside world. The bathroom is now a haven behind your sliding shower doors.

Yet in reality, the concept of bathroom design is a relatively new one, since only a few decades ago bathrooms were seen as functional rooms, but now they are increasingly seen as somewhere that people can relax in and wash away their troubles and stresses. BathroomTrade.co.uk stock a wide variety of bathroom suites and accessories, including all different types of shower doors, sliding shower doors included.

Many people are wary of becoming too entrenched in the whole minimalist design, in case it starts to look dated in a few years time, necessitating a change of bathroom furniture such as sliding shower doors. But this is the joy of a sliding shower door; they effortlessly transform a shower room into a minimalist haven, but due to the fact that sliding shower doors are classic in design and available with different finishes, e. g. gold or chrome etc, all available at BathroomTrade.co.uk, they are timeless. Sliding shower doors create a look that is sleek, angular and then your shower doors create the perfect finish to a modern and sophisticated bathroom.

Advantages of a Sliding Shower Door

A sliding shower door has to be fitted in a shower area that is slightly larger than many showers. This is due to sliding shower doors needing a wall to slide against. However, if you have the size available, then you will be able to fit sliding shower doors with no problems.

The beauty of the sliding shower door is that it slides against a shower wall, meaning that you don’t open the shower doors out into the bathroom. This means that floor space is maximised and more floor area can be given over to the shower as opposed to creating an opening area for outward opening shower doors.

Another major advantage of a sliding shower door, is that they contain more steam than one of the semi open shower doors, thereby reducing condensation within the bathroom.

The fact that the sliding shower doors also encapsulates the shower to a greater degree also means that if you are in the shower you feel completely alone, so you can switch on a shower radio and just forget about the rest of the world. The fact that it is encapsulated also enables someone else to pop into the bathroom and apply make up etc without causing a disturbance

So besides the fact that a sliding shower door adds grace, elegance and a really contemporary feel to any bathroom, there are also practical reasons for choosing these shower doors over a more traditional style of door, which is why BathroomTrade.co.uk is so glad to see that more and more people are choosing a sliding shower door. But once you have tried a sliding shower door you will probably find that you don’t ever want to go back to other shower doors or even the semi-enclosed showers that are increasingly becoming more and more old fashioned.

Why should I buy a single or double door 900mm Quadrant Shower Enclosure?

900mm Quadrant Shower Enclosures are a popular choice for many new home buyers and renovators alike who are looking for contemporary style shower enclosures in their bathrooms. Small quadrant shower enclosures, and in particular, 900mm quadrant shower enclosures have gained a great deal of favour amongst discerning bathroom buyers who want to save space, and are now best-sellers amongst many manufacturers in the UK.

Here is a brief but comprehensive guide on the UK’s best shower manufacturers and products, and where you can source them:

So, who makes 900mm Quadrant Shower Enclosures?

Three major players in the Quadrant Shower market in the UK are April Showers, Manhattan Showers and London Water Closet Company.  Below are these three suppliers with some of their main products, which are classified by double and single door quadrants:

Double Door 900mm Quadrant Shower

900mm quadrant showers generally vary slightly in style, by manufacturer.

All three manufacturers stock a standard 900mm x 900mm quadrant shower. For Manhattan, this 900 x 900 double door is called a “Quadrant Duo” (mid range), for April Showers, it is known as a “Double Door Quadrant” (mid to premium range), and finally, LWCC calls it the “Waterfall Quad Door Enclosure” (budget range).

These doors are also sized from a small offset 900mm x 760mm offset quadrant shower (April) and 800mm x 900mm offset quadrant shower  (Manhattan), extending to a longer 900mm x 1200mm offset quadrant shower (April, Manhattan and LWCC all manufacture this product).

Single Door 900mm Quadrant Shower

This single door quadrant is available from April or Manhattan in a 900mm x 900mm size. In this single door range, April makes a Bow Fronted Single Door Quadrant.  Manhattan also manufactures three different varieties single door quadrant shower enclosures: the Quadrant Uno, Quadrant Sphere and Quadrant Plus (915mm). All of these offset quadrant shower enclosures are designed to be situated in a corner space, at a 90 degree angle.

The 900 quadrant shower, whether in a single or double door configuration will suit most bathroom spaces and blends seamlessly with all tastes and style preferences.

Choosing the right shower tray shape is vital; it’s arguably the single most important consideration of installing a shower enclosure. Shower trays are available in a number of shapes, from regular square to rectangle shower trays, through to newer styles such as the quadrant and neo angle/pentagonal shower tray.

Varying in price range from budget to ultra luxurious, there is one to suit every taste, budget and design scheme. At the initial stage getting an idea of the different available shapes and configurations of shower tray will help you to plan the best layout and achieve the desired look for your bathroom.

There are a number of different shower tray shapes to choose from:

Square: As its name suggests, this shower tray is square shaped and measures the same length by width. It’s a standard tray and one of the most popular. Square shower trays are generally quite versatile in size and range from around 700mm through to 1200mm.

The square shower tray’s placement is also notably flexible – it can either be positioned in a recess/alcove, corner or next to a wall. Small square shower trays are usually popular in cloakrooms and small bathrooms as they generally require less floor space than other types of shower tray. The 700mm shower tray is usually a best seller amongst many bathroom suppliers for this reason.

Rectangular: The rectangular shower tray is a popular standard tray, with measurements varying between the smallest, at 900 x 700mm all the way through to the largest, at 1700 x 700mm.

It’s ideal for narrower bathroom spaces, as the design allows a longer, thinner shower enclosure, saving space but maximising the showering area. The rectangular shower tray’s configurations can be altered to suit both small and large bathrooms. This tray can also be placed virtually anywhere in the bathroom, whether it’s a recess/alcove or corner.

Quadrant: This shower tray has a curved shaped front and generally measures between 800mm, 900mm and 1000mm. Its “quarter circle” design means that it is best positioned in a corner. The quadrant shower tray takes up less space than a similar sized square tray and gives a sleek, minimalist look in the bathroom. We suggest purchasing a quadrant with sliding shower doors, to save even more space. If doors slide across rather than swinging outwards, you’ll have fewer drips and need less room in your bathroom to accommodate the doors.

Offset Quadrant: Varying in shape of the quadrant, offset quadrant trays are a rectangle shape, which curves in at one corner. This is one of the most spacious shower trays, and these measure from 900mm x 760mm through to 1200mm x 900mm. These trays have a right or left hand configuration. People choose this shower because often, instead of requiring a compact, more space-saving enclosure (such as a quadrant shower), some have contrasting desires; they want to fill up space in their bathroom and/or prefer a larger, more roomy showering experience.

Pentangle: This shower tray is also known as a Neo Angle shower tray or Pentagra shower tray. If you’re not familiar with a pentagon shape, the best way to describe it is a square shape missing one corner. This shower tray measures 900mm x 900mm.The tray fits well between two walls (corner) and its shape means that it can be placed in a number of positions in the bathroom, often between other fixtures if working with a smaller bathroom. This shower tray is a great space saver and can either be fitted with hinged or bi fold doors, and bi fold is best if you’re space conscious due to its inward-folding doors.

Offset Pentangle: This shower tray differs from a standard pentangle as its shape is rectangular based (missing a corner), rather than square-based. The offset pentangle shower tray measures 900mm x 1200mm and 900mm x 1400mm. It also fits in a corner and is available in a right or left hand configuration. Longer and covering more floor space than the standard pentangle, this shower tray is ideal for those with larger bathrooms wanting a more spacious shower experience.

Where can I purchase a shower tray?

Some well known UK manufacturers of all the shower trays we’ve just described above are MX Group, Manhattan Showers, April Bathroom Products and The London Water Closet Company (LWCC). These trays vary from slimline to standard and these manufacturers’ products can be found in online bathroom stores such as BathroomTrade.co.uk (now one of the fastest growing online bathroom stores in the UK).

The majority of property experts will agree that the bathroom is the second most important room in a house or flat after the kitchen, this is why improvements to a bathroom can be deemed a great investment of both time and money. A great way to bring new life to a bathroom is to install a new shower enclosure. In contemporary design circles the shower seems to have taken importance from the bath as the most hotly desired commodity in the bathroom, this is why the shower enclosure can be viewed as being extremely important. Although getting rid of the bath completely is rarely advisable, in an ideal world a bathroom that has a separate bath and shower is highly desirable.

Choosing the right shower enclosure can make or break a bathroom, it is irrelevant whether it is modern of traditional, all that is important is that it should match the rest of the room and not look completely out of place. For instance, there is little point in putting a space age shower into a bathroom that is old fashioned. Thankfully, with so many different styles of shower enclosure on the market today, all homeowners are likely to find one that matches the style of their bathroom perfectly.

As well as the different styles of shower enclosure available there are also a large number of shapes and sizes. This is probably the most important factor after style as an enclosure that is too large can look out of place and overpowering in a small bathroom; in the same respect a huge bathroom with a tiny shower will look equally strange. Deciding on the size will require careful measurement and consideration to ensure that it fits correctly and does not look out of place. As previously stated there are variances in both size and shape, of the shapes available today square shower enclosures are the most popular but in many designers’ eyes, the most uninteresting. With half moon, quadrant and pentagonal enclosures out there homeowners should consider which of these shapes are most suited to the layout of their bathroom. The right choice can truly make a bathroom luxuriant and opulent, while getting the decision wrong can mean a cramped and unsightly room.

As previously mentioned, careful planning how the shower enclosure will fit into the bathroom is an essential consideration. Decide whether your shower will sit in the corner, or against a wall in the middle of the room, there are even enclosures out there today that can stand alone. Most designers agree that if using a corner situated enclosure it is advisable to go for quarter moon or square variants as these will save the most space. For those who have the room for a large centrally located shower, choosing a pentagonal design can be extremely worthwhile and a design feature in its own right.

As part of selecting an enclosure, attention should be paid to the type of glass that will be fitted in the door and panels. Frosted glass is obviously a popular option for privacy reasons although increasingly etched designs are being used as an attractive component that compliments the design of the bathroom. As well as the glass, some may consider installing a wet room in smaller bathrooms as this will allow the shower to be free from restraint. The process is simple enough although professionals should be used as a poorly installed wet room can be devastating to the integrity of a property.

With so many options out there for homeowners the choices in bathroom design are vast. As an important room that adds to both value and way of life these decisions are vitally important. The shower is only a small part of the bathroom equation although through careful selection it can achieve a great effect.
