Shower Enclosures

A shower enclosure is also called a shower stall. The enclosure is the back wall paneling for your shower and, when combined with the shower pan (base) and door, is sometimes called a complete shower unit or kit. Choosing an enclosure can be an affordable option for remodeling your bathroom or adding on a new room. Additionally an enclosure is typically less expensive then tile and considerably easier to maintain. Your enclosure also provides the protection required to keep moisture away from your home structure.

Purchase Attractive Shower Enclosures for Easy Installation

Most brand-name shower enclosures, such as the Swanstone shower wall, are made from a lightweight acrylic (a composite of resin and fiberglass). Other enclosures, like Swanstone enclosures, are made from composite materials (acrylic with a silica wear material.) Acrylic and fiberglass materials are pliable, making it easy to deliver your enclosure to your bathroom with little maneuvering. For extra durability some bases are made of cast iron–with a porcelain cover.) Cast iron and composite materials are stiff, but normally can be easily routed through your house–typically sideways, which may not seem logical at first.

Wall kits coordinate with standard-size shower pans, creating a water tight shower enclosure when all of the pieces are installed and sealed. For your convenience, many enclosures are crafted with built-in shelves for storing toiletries, as well as corner seats and grab bars for added safety. Standard rectangle-shaped enclosures can be suitable for rooms with long walls. They are especially appropriate for tub/shower conversions. Corner units or neo-angle shower enclosures can tuck comfortably into a small section of your bathroom, giving a more spacious look to the rest of your room. Corner units include the two back wall panels, requiring you to purchase a shower door.
