Shower Enclosures: Creating a Relaxing and Flexible Shower Space

Showering is one of the most important personal rituals in our daily lives, so it should be a welcoming and relaxing space. From hinged doors to fixed panels, walk-in enclosures to sliding systems, the variety of shower enclosures offers unprecedented flexibility in creating your perfect shower space. Let's explore the different types of shower enclosures, how to choose what is right for you and how they can transform your bathroom.

Find a design that suits your space and needs

When designing your ideal shower, the most important factor to consider is the space available in your bathroom. Is it large and open or compact? Who will be using the shower? Will there be young children or people with mobility challenges? Next, consider your personal style preferences. Do you want an open and airy feel or a more intimate space? Vintage or modern? Understanding the layout and design style will help you choose the right type of enclosure.

Choosing your perfect door

Hinged doors are a popular choice when it comes to choosing a shower enclosure, offering an elegant and spacious look. Particularly without frames or profiles, they add a sense of transparency to the bathroom creating an open and airy feel. They are also a practical solution for combined shower and bath models. As with Brisa or Line, these enclosures rotate on a hinge mechanism and typically open outwards to create a streamlined shower design, making it easy to step into a bath or a step-up shower.

Fixed shower enclosures: minimalist design and custom fit

Fixed panels are glass enclosures that are fixed in place, whether as part of a bath-shower system or a walk-in shower. They fit well in simple, minimal spaces, providing protection from water leaks and keeping the heat in for a cosy shower. Customisation is another benefit of modern shower enclosures. Line, Line Plus and Victoria Plus fixed panels can be cut to size , ensuring a perfect fit for your unique space and reducing waste in the manufacturing process. A combination of different door types, such as fixed and hinged, is also possible.

Sliding shower doors are an excellent space-saving solution. Their design means there is no need to swing outwards, making them a practical choice for maximising bathroom space. In addition, their smooth sliding mechanism ensures effortless operation, providing both comfort and efficiency in everyday use.

The Brisa collection has smooth sliding systems that eliminates loose doors that can close too quickly and cause damage. The Naray, Ura, Victoria Plus y Victoria collection allows for two angular sliding doors that meet at a corner – an ideal solution for saving space and creating an intimate shower experience. For those with mobility challenges, Access is designed for easy entry and exit. The glass, available with one or two swing doors, is divided into two independent parts to make it easier to assist with showering from the outside.

Folding shower doors: smart solutions for compact spaces

Compact and clever, folding doors - like those in the Brisa and Easy collections - fold effortlessly inwards, making them perfect for smaller bathrooms or layouts where every inch counts. They're designed to maximise your space without sacrificing style, creating a practical and inviting shower area that blends seamlessly into your daily routine.

The finish of your shower enclosure can transform the look and feel of your bathroom. Made from tempered glass, Roca’s shower enclosures combine durability, safety and style, with seven distinctive finishes to suit various design preferences - transparent, fumato, matt, mist, rain, cloud, cuarzo. Framed options add depth and definition, available in brushed matt black for a touch of luxury. Frameless designs are a popular, minimalist choice that maximises visual space, while curved enclosures are ideal for corner layouts - a sleek solution for compact spaces.

The wide variety of shower enclosure styles available today allows you to create truly customised shower spaces. By considering factors like space, design preferences, materials and finishes, you can select a shower enclosure that not only meets your practical needs, but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your bathroom. Whether you opt for a sleek walk-in enclosure or a sliding door, the perfect shower enclosure can transform your daily routine into a spa-like experience.
