Contemporary glass shower enclosures with luxury chrome fixings
More InfoFrequently Asked Questions about Chrome Shower Enclosures
What thickness of glass is used in your shower enclosures?
Our shower enclosures are manufactured using 10mm toughened safety glass, providing strength and durability with a frameless appearance. Our reeded glass is 8mm as standard, with 10mm reeded glass also available on request.
What types of shower glass are available?
Our shower enclosures are available with 10mm clear, low-iron, grey tinted, bronze tinted or frosted glass. Low-iron glass offers greater clarity with less of the green tint associated with standard clear glass, while tinted and frosted options provide different levels of privacy and appearance. Our Soft View design features 8mm reeded glass, although reeded glass can also be quoted for any of our other shower enclosures to special order. An easy-clean glass coating is available as an optional extra on all our shower enclosures. This helps reduce the build-up of limescale, soap residue and watermarks, making the glass easier to maintain with regular cleaning.
Do your shower enclosures come with a guarantee?
Yes, the toughened safety glass supplied with our shower enclosures is covered by a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects.
Can your shower enclosures be made to bespoke sizes?
Yes, all our shower enclosures are made to order in the UK and can be manufactured to suit your bathroom's dimensions. We can accommodate unusual widths and heights, sloping ceilings, dwarf walls and other non-standard layouts, including angled or specially shaped glass panels.
Can I choose between sliding doors, hinged doors and walk-in designs?
Yes, our collection includes hinged shower doors, sliding doors, walk-in enclosures, corner-entry designs and other configurations. The most suitable arrangement will depend on your available space, preferred appearance and access requirements.
Can you manufacture floor-to-ceiling shower enclosures?
Yes, we offer a range of full-height shower enclosures and partitions designed to extend from the floor to the ceiling. These can be made to suit different ceiling heights and bathroom layouts, subject to the design and installation requirements.
Can you make a shower enclosure for a wet room?
Yes, our frameless shower enclosures and walk-in screens can be manufactured for use in wet-room installations. The bathroom must have appropriate waterproofing, drainage and floor falls to manage water effectively.
Can you manufacture a shower enclosure from my own drawings or design?
Yes, we can work from your drawings, measurements or design ideas to produce a bespoke shower enclosure. Whether you have an unusual layout or a specific style in mind, contact us with your requirements and we'll advise on the available options.
Can your shower enclosures be made suitable for wheelchair or mobility access?
Yes, we can produce accessible shower enclosures with wider entrances, walk-in arrangements and other configurations designed around individual mobility requirements. If you have particular access needs, we can discuss a suitable layout with you.
Can I choose different handles, hinges and fittings?
Our shower enclosures are shown with our standard fittings, but alternative handle and hinge styles are available on request. Please contact us if you have a particular style or configuration in mind.
What is the lead time for your shower enclosures?
Our shower enclosures are made to order in the UK, with an approximate lead time of 3–4 weeks.
Is delivery included in the price?
Yes, delivery is included to UK mainland addresses, excluding the Scottish Highlands. For the Highlands and other remote postcodes, please contact us for a delivery quotation.
Are installation instructions supplied?
Yes, installation instructions are provided with every shower enclosure to assist your installer with fitting the glass panels, doors and associated hardware.
Can I order samples of the metal finishes?
Yes, sample swatches of each metal finish are available, allowing you to check the colour and appearance before placing your order.
Can your shower enclosures be used in steam rooms?
Yes, we offer shower enclosure configurations suitable for steam-room installations, including full-height designs. Steam enclosures require particular attention to sealing, ventilation and installation details, so it's important to specify that the enclosure will be used as a steam room when making your enquiry.
What is the difference between polished and brushed chrome?
Polished chrome has a bright, mirror-like silver appearance, making it a popular choice for modern and traditional bathrooms. Brushed chrome has a softer satin finish that reduces reflections and provides a more understated alternative. Both finishes are available throughout our chrome shower enclosure range.
Will chrome shower fittings rust or corrode?
Our chrome shower enclosure fittings are designed to resist tarnishing and corrosion during normal bathroom use.
