If you are looking for a new shower enclosure, your choice is virtually endless, with a wide range of finishes and styles to choose from along with a variety of showers to go with them. Shower enclosures are available in different sizes and styles including: quadrant, square, rectangular, or bow which are all available in a wide range sizes to fit any bathroom. Along with the different shapes of shower enclosures, there are also a range of different doors including bi-fold, pivot and sliding. This many options mean that there is sure to be a shower enclosure for you. If you are looking for a shower enclosure for a smaller bathroom then shower enclosures with bi-fold and sliding doors will save space within your bathroom as these doors open within the area of the enclosure. If space within your bathroom is no issue then enclosures such as quadrant or bow will provide you with the most space and the most luxurious bathing experience. Along with choosing the type of enclosure for your bathroom you're also going to have to choose a shower, and with such a wide variety that's not going to be easy. Depending on what type of shower you are looking for, be it electric, mixer shower or power shower there are things to look out for. When buying an electric shower you should focus on two main aspects of the shower - the power rating and if the shower has a pump to maintain flow - the flow rate. The power rating simply tells you how fast the water will be heated as it flows through the system, most showers will be able to achieve this within minutes. Mixer showers have a number of advantages over the frameless shower enclosures, one being that mixer showers will have a higher flow rate as the water is already heated before entering the shower, this will tend to save more energy and water as it takes less time. If you are looking for the most luxurious bathing experience, power showers offer you the best showering experience with multiple settings and body jets. Before buying a power shower it is important to check that your enclosure is suitable for power showers and the pressure of the water. If you are not looking for a round shower enclosure, then you may be interested in a wet room. These enclosures are only really available if you have enough room in your bathroom and are willing to splash some cash as these are likely to be at the top of your budget. A wet room enclosure consists of one panel or screen within your bathroom with the shower tray or waste set into the floor taking all water in this direction, giving you a more open feel to your bathroom and allowing you to simply walk through your enclosure.
