Framed
Framed showers are made of glass with steel frames to give structure and support. Usually, the door and panels get secured by a metal header on the upper and track channels at the bottom. These conventional and affordable enclosures tend to concentrate on function over design. However, the wide range of glass and finishing materials available today is more affordable than ever.

Wet Rooms
A wet area is a bathroom that has to get waterproofed. The shower is the same height as the other floors and is ideal for those with mobility problems. A flush drain inside the shower area drains water. Wet rooms make good use of space, requiring less care and effort to maintain.
Walk-In Showers
An excellent option if your bathroom isn’t large enough to take a wet bath. However, you want to create a sleek design to make the bathroom appear more spacious. A walk-in shower does not have the luxury of curtains or doors. Sometimes, a walk-in shower can feature half walls or panes of glass that prevent water from splashing around the storm.
