Bathroom Shower Enclosures are the area’s used to contain the steam and water from a shower from splashing all over the bathroom. They are formed with he combination of plexi-glass or tempered glass on a metal frame and are fitted with a door (often a sliding door) allowing for the shower to be installed either over the bath or in a separate enclosure.

Homeowners now have a huge range of options before them. From pre-fabricated designs right through to custom-designs and a myriad of color and pattern choices, materials and finishes. There are even options to suit the most difficult bathroom spaces.

To help you with selecting your preferred bathroom shower enclosure, I have listed below the five most common types and their features.

Fiberglass Bathroom Shower Enclosures - These bathroom shower enclosures are immensely popular due to the fact that they come in almost any shape and size and are low maintenance. They can be made of either 100% fiberglass or used in combination with a polyester resin.

Acrylic And Tempered-Glass Shower Enclosures - Being either framed or frameless, these shower enclosures are perfect for curved showers and are the most common types for walk-in showers that have no shower doors. They look great because they are visually sleek with clean lines and an uncluttered look.

Metal Bathroom Shower Enclosures - This type of bathroom enclosures is becoming more popular because of their distinct elegance and toughness. The models that are available are the stainless steel and the copper modules. These enclosures are anti-bacterial, low-maintenance, stain resistant, non-corrosive and mildew proof. This is possibly the most modern shower enclosure you can find on the market.

Tile Bathroom Shower Enclosures - This is the best option for those who are after a unique and customized appeal for their bathroom showers. You can choose from a wide selection of colors, designs, sizes and shapes. However, you should take into account that this type of bathroom enclosure is prone to mold and mildew, and you will have to do proper sealing and regular maintenance to control this problem.

Glass Block Bathroom Shower Enclosures - This type of shower enclosure offers privacy, toughness, resistance to staining and low maintenance, and looks great too. However these are more expensive and will require the services of a professional to install.

There are many options that you can consider as far as bathroom shower enclosures are concerned. With the broad range of modern choices that are available in the market, you can find the unit that is most appropriate for your needs and is within your budget range.
