Quadrant Shower Enclosures

These curved corner showers are particularly well-suited to smaller bathrooms, where they make the most of the available space. They are supplied with sliding or hinged doors, which make getting in and out of the shower area much easier. They give you a nice, smooth access, which is super helpful. Also, they can be teamed with any type of shower, mixer showers, thermostatic showers, or even bar mixer showers, which are ideal for precise temperature control.

The quarter-circle shape means that they fit in neatly against the wall. You do not need to worry about them taking up lots of space. This makes it easy to have a shower tray that matches, giving you a solid, waterproof base for the water temperature, which is always nice. The good news is that the materials used are long-lasting and will not rust or corrode and can handle both high and low-pressure systems.

Quadrant shower enclosures are a great choice for both trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts who are seeking a straightforward installation, which only requires standard tools. They are modern and look superb in any bathroom setting.

FAQs

1. What sizes are quadrant shower enclosures available in?

Quadrant shower enclosures are available in different widths, from 700mm all the way up to 1600mm. They can also vary in height from 1800mm up to 2000mm, which should give you enough flexibility to fit this enclosure in just about any bathroom layout you have. Depths can run as small as 700mm all the way up to 1200mm. This means you can buy one that will fit in smaller spaces just as well as larger ones. The standard dimensions of these enclosures will fit into most bathrooms without any problem, but they also accommodate plumbing systems and shower controls well.

2. Are these supplied complete with a matching shower tray?

Many quadrant shower enclosures are supplied complete with a matching tray, which makes for a complete matching shower area setup. Having the tray included makes the installation much easier, and you can be sure you will have a watertight enclosure that will not need any complicated modifications. Depending on the kind of bathroom you have, the tray will work well with high or low-pressure systems, too. If you buy an enclosure with the tray, the whole installation experience will be simplified.

3. Are there any other names used for “Quadrant” type shower enclosures?

Quadrant shower enclosures are sometimes also called curved corner enclosures, which is just one of the names for their curved front panels. They may also be referred to as corner shower cubicles. These names are just another way of telling you that they are designed to be space-saving in their design.

4. Is the door type (sliding vs hinged) important?

The type of door really does make a difference when it comes to how easy it is to get in and out of the shower, especially in a limited bathroom space:

• Hinged doors - are great if you want a more classic shower look, you can open them outwards to create more space in the room

• Sliding doors - the opposite is true for sliding doors. They are ideal for smaller places. Choosing the right door is essential for both safe, convenient installation, and keeping the shower area nice and watertight

5. Where does the name “Quadrant” originate from?

The term “quadrant” refers to the curved shape that forms a quarter of a circle at the corner. It is all about maximising the space you have and creating a stylish shower area. People love these enclosures because they are so space-efficient and have a WOW factor. They are the perfect choice for most bathrooms, as they will neatly fit into most spaces easily.

6. Are curved shower enclosures like quadrant models?

These shower enclosures are effectively the same as quadrant shower enclosures when it comes to their shape. They all share the same quarter-circle design. Curved shower enclosures are designed to make the most of any corner space available and enable a proper, practical, and stylish shower area to be installed there. They are good for all sorts of plumbing systems, too, and you can expect to have easy access to the shower and a consistent temperature for everyday use.
