Corner showers

Corner shower enclosures

A corner shower enclosure is a structure designed for installation in the corner of a bathroom. It consists of one or more glass walls and a door, optimally occupying two adjacent walls of the room, which allows for the efficient use of corner space. This makes corner shower enclosures an ideal solution for small bathrooms where it is important to preserve free space.

Types of corner shower enclosure doors

Swing doors

Swing doors are mounted on hinges and open inward or outward, like traditional room doors. They can be single-leaf or double-leaf, when the door consists of two halves that open in opposite directions.

Advantages of hinged doors

The full door opening provides convenient access in and out. They are suitable for most bathroom designs. Quite easy to clean, as they have fewer hidden areas where moisture and dirt can accumulate.

Disadvantages of hinged doors

• Space required. Free space in front of the door is required to open.
• Possible collisions. May collide with other furniture or plumbing in the bathroom.

Sliding doors

Sliding doors, also known as pocket doors, consist of one or more panels that slide along tracks and disappear behind a fixed part of the wall or another panel.

Advantages of sliding doors

Such doors save space, do not require additional space for opening, are ideal for small bathrooms. They have a more modern and minimalist design, and can also be easily accessible in any space conditions.

Limitations of sliding doors:

• Complexity in installation. Such doors require precise installation of tracks and rollers.
• Entrance. They may require more thorough cleaning due to the presence of tracks and mechanisms in which dirt can accumulate.

The choice between hinged and sliding doors depends on personal preference, bathroom style and available space. Swing doors are suitable for those who prefer a classic style and have enough space, while sliding doors are ideal for modern, compact bathrooms where every centimeter counts.

Features of corner shower cabins

A corner shower cabin consists of glass elements and a door mounted on hinges at a right angle. Tightness is achieved through the use of PVC and silicone seals, and strength and stability are provided by metal fittings and profiles. Stationary glass is fixed with these profiles, and the door can occupy either half or most of one side of the cabin.

Materials and safety

Our models are made of 6 and 8 mm tempered glass, treated with a composition to impart water-repellent properties. This glass demonstrates high strength and resistance to fungal formations. When broken, it forms blunt fragments, which reduces the risk of injury. Also in the range there is triplex, which has high performance characteristics, but is more expensive.

Corner shower enclosures offer the perfect combination of functionality and style, allowing you to optimally use the corner space of the bathroom. Thanks to the variety of shapes, door types and materials, you can choose a model that will perfectly suit your interior, providing convenience and safety.

Types of glass colors for corner shower enclosures

Corner glass shower enclosures offer a variety of color options, enriching the design concept of any room. Here are four common color alternatives for glass:

• Diamond glass is a model of purity and transparency. It transmits light, maximizing the expansion of space and creating a feeling of lightness and openness. Shower cabins with such glass become almost invisible, enhancing the feeling of spaciousness and freedom.
• Graphite glass, with its deep black shade, gives the bathroom sophistication and boldness. It looks especially impressive in combination with light interior tones, creating a stylish contrast and emphasizing the modernity of the room. This color adds drama and elegance to the bathroom design.
• Bronze glass has a warm shade, filling the space with coziness and creating a comfortable and attractive atmosphere. It is ideal for interiors in a classic style, harmonizing with earthy tones and giving the shower cabin exclusivity and warmth. Bronze glass adds notes of luxury and tradition.
• Colorless glass, similar to diamond, has a high degree of transparency, but can have a slight greenish or bluish tint due to the presence of metallic impurities. This glass provides an unrivaled purity of view and is ideal for creating the illusion of limitless space. It is versatile and easily fits into any interior, emphasizing its elegance and simplicity.

The choice of glass color for a corner shower enclosure should match the design of the bathroom and reflect the owner's tastes, creating a satisfying and harmonious atmosphere. Regardless of whether you prefer the transparency and lightness of diamond glass, the drama of graphite, the coziness of bronze or the versatility of colorless glass, we have an option that will perfectly complement your interior.

Standard sizes of shower cabins

• Small cabins. 700x700 or 800x800 mm, suitable for small spaces, but restrict movement.
• Universal cabins. 900x900 or 1000x1000 mm, provide a comfortable space and save space in the bathroom.
• Medium sizes. 1200x1200 mm or rectangular options, spacious, but require taking into account the space for opening the doors.
• Optimal corner cabins. 1200x800 mm, provide ease of use without taking up much space.

Correct measurements and selection of the appropriate dimensions of the shower cabin will help create a comfortable and stylish space in your bathroom.

Rules for caring for a corner shower cabin

Modern interiors are often equipped with shower cabins, which have advantages over conventional bathtubs, including space saving and ease of use. This is especially true for small bathrooms. However, to maintain the perfect condition of the glass elements of such cabins, regular and thorough care is required. The negative impact of hard water can lead to the appearance of limescale, spoiling the appearance of the glass.

Caring for a corner shower cabin requires compliance with several key rules:

• Cleaning glass surfaces. Use special detergents or folk methods, such as a solution of vinegar and water. It is important to avoid aggressive cleaning agents that can damage the glass.
• Regular cleaning. After each shower, wipe the glass with a dry microfiber towel. This will help prevent water spots and soap scum.
• Removing limescale. To combat limescale, use glass cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water. Regular use of these products will help keep the glass in perfect condition.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners. These can scratch the surface of the glass, so it is better to choose mild, non-abrasive cleaners.

Cabin maintenance includes:

• Removing mold. Regularly remove mold, especially in areas where moisture accumulates, such as corners and seams. This will help keep your shower cubicle clean and prevent odors.
• Cleaning the shower drain. Regularly clear the drain of hair and other debris to prevent blockages and ensure proper drainage.
• Checking and replacing silicone seals. Check the condition of the silicone seals from time to time and replace them if necessary.
• Caring for sliding doors. If your shower cubicle has sliding doors, keep them clean and lubricate the mechanisms. This will ensure smooth and quiet opening and closing of the doors.

Caring for Frosted Glass

Frosted glass requires special attention due to its textured surface. Use only those cleaning products that are safe for frosted glass, testing them first on an inconspicuous part of the surface.

Choosing Cleaning Products

• Aerosol cleaners: These are convenient and effective, but require caution and testing for compatibility with matte surfaces.
• Stainless steel cleaners: Use mild detergents and sponges, paying attention to the direction of grinding. Avoid using chlorine-based products and products containing iron to avoid rust.
