Shower Enclosures

In the shower enclosures section you will find all types of shower enclosures for all installation situations. We'll tell you what to look out for when buying.

When choosing a new shower enclosure you should consider the following:

• assembly situation
• height and width
• shape of the shower enclosure
• with or without a door
• door type
• installation type
• glass type

The easiest way is to use the shower enclosure configurator to select your new shower enclosure. This guides you step by step to the shower enclosures that meet your criteria and needs. All you have to do is select the model that suits you best.

The different types

In our shop you will find a wide variety of shower enclosures:

• Classic corner showers
• Showers with corner entry
• Recess showers
• Pre-wall showers
• Pentagonal showers
• Quadrant showers
• Open walk-in showers

Which one is best for you? It depends on how much space you have in the bathroom and what your preferences are. If the shower enclosure is open, for example, there may be some splashes; if the shower enclosure is closed, you will be surrounded by warm steam.

The right size

In the past, shower enclosures were rather narrow spaces with a size of 70 cm x 70 cm or 80 cm x 80 cm. Today they are usually larger and start at 90 cm x 90 cm.

There are no limits at the top - especially if you are planning a tiled shower. Shower trays, on the other hand, are a maximum of 200 cm long and 180 cm wide. This is what the shower enclosure is based on.

What doors are there?

If you want a shower enclosure with door, you have the following options:

• Sliding doors
• Bi-fold doors
• Swinging doors
• Pivoting doors

Sliding doors are ideal for small bathrooms. They consist of one fixed panel behind which the door slides. This reduces the entrance area however. That can be resolved with two sliding doors such as shower enclosures with corner entry.

Swinging doors open inwards and outwards but sufficient space is required in front of and in the shower. These are usually very practical and popular shower doors. Pivoting doors on the other hand only open in one direction, usually outwards. They are advantageous if the shower room is so small that the door can't be opened if someone is in the shower.

Bi-fold doors are extremely practical shower doors. They can be simply folded aside when not required. For example, in narrow galley bathrooms if the shower is used as part of the walking area. Or simply because the bathroom looks more spacious without a visible shower enclosure.

Shower Enclosures and Baths

Whether on or next to each other - shower enclosures and baths are a hot topic. In order to place a shower enclosure next to a bath, you'll need a shorter side panel. This is placed on the rim of the bath. At Reuter, you'll find a large selection of shorter side panels.

If there is not enough space in the bathroom, the bath can easily be used as a shower. If you're not a fan of shower curtains, a bath screen is a good alternative.
