Guide To Aqualux Shower Enclosures

 

A Step by Step Guide for Selecting your Showering Solution

 

Many retailers have their own in-house bathroom planning service. By inputting details of your bathroom, including the size, door and window position, a software programme can produce a 3D computer generated layout so you can visualise and select your new bathroom.

When you are considering your new Shower Enclosure, we recommend you consult a professional tradesman or bathroom installer for advice on plumbing requirements and the type of hot-water system you have, as this may determine your choice.

 

3 Simple Steps to Showering Selection

We have provided you with this simple guide to help you select the best options for your showering needs. You can quickly navigate to a step by selecting the following links:

Step 1: Size

The amount of available space in your bathroom will be the first step in determining whether a full Shower Enclosure, Door only or Bath Screen is your best option.

Bath Screens

Where space is limited consider a compact corner shower enclosure or a bath screen to transform your bath and provide the ideal replacement for a shower curtain.

Shower Enclosures Size

Shower Enclosures

The Aqualux collections of Shower Enclosures are available in a variety of shapes and sizes. The smaller, space saving options start at 760mm and go up to a spacious 1700mm and is suitable for a bath replacement.

If you have more space available a recessed shower or larger size enclosure can provide both luxury and comfort.

Wet floor installations are becoming increasingly more popular and affordable and can be installed in the main bathroom or a small area, such as a cloakroom conversion.

 

 

Step 2: Location

The next step to making your choice is considering the position of your shower.

Corner
Corner locations are the most common position for a Shower Enclosure and can accommodate a wide selection of shapes.

Consider the shape you prefer for your allocated space, or measure up the existing tray if you are replacing your Shower Enclosure and select from the following.

Square Shower EnclosuresRectangular Shower EnclosuresQuadrant Shower EnclosuresOff-set Quadrant Shower Enclosures

The shape you choose will guide your selection of enclosure.

An enclosure will consist of either a door and side panel (square or rectangular) or space saving enclosures, such as the Quadrant. Your choice will depend on practical points such as available space for door action and obstructions, such as other bathroom fittings.

Aqualux enclosures are available in a range of sizes to fit most needs and trays and range from 760mm to 1700mm. For sheer luxury, Walk-in Enclosures or Wet Floor installation provides larger showering areas and range from 1400mm x 800mm up to 1700mm x 1000mm, although the AquaSpace Modular Shower Panels can be fitted up to any size configuration and provide easy access as there is no door entry.

With a range of doors and finishes to choose from, consider the following

  • Allowing for comfortable access within the bathroom for the opening and closing of the door - particularly doors opening outwards.
  • Avoiding obstructions, such as other bathroom fittings, that may restrict door movement.

When fitting a recess door, all three sides of the showering area will be tiled. It is essential to carefully measure the area to ensure an exact fit after tiling.

A recessed Shower Door will be one of the following options;
