Planning Your Custom Shower Enclosure
One of the first considerations homeowners have while upgrading their bathroom is the installation of a glass shower enclosure. Before you order, there are several important factors to consider to ensure you get the perfect shower for your Pembroke home.
1. Measure Your Space
Accurate measurements are crucial for custom shower enclosures. Our certified estimators will take precise measurements to ensure a perfect fit, but having a general idea of your space helps during the planning process.
2. Choose Your Configuration
Consider the layout of your bathroom:
- Corner showers – Great for smaller bathrooms
- Alcove showers – Three walls with one glass panel/door
- Walk-in showers – Larger, open designs
- Neo-angle – Fits into corners with angled glass panels
3. Door Style
Select the door type that works best for your space:
- Hinged/pivot doors
- Sliding doors
- Bi-fold doors
- Fixed panels with no door
4. Glass Type and Treatment
Consider glass treatments that make maintenance easier:
- Clear glass for a modern look
- Frosted for privacy
- Low-iron (ultra-clear) glass
- Easy-clean coatings to prevent water spots
5. Hardware Finishes
Match your hardware to your bathroom fixtures: chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, and more.
