ABOUT SHOWER ENCLOSURES AND SHOWER DOORS

Shower enclosures are usually constructed of aluminium framing, with a toughened glass panel. The frames may be finished in white or silver. A very wide variety of shapes and styles is available, including bi-fold or sliding doors, and corner entry. Some shower enclosures now offer curved frames and glass. Some also offer a frameless or semi-frameless design, reducing the amount of framing, and giving an all-glass look.
