A shower cabin is not only practical, it can also be a stylish element in your bathroom. For many people, the bathroom is the place to relax, and the right cabin contributes greatly to this. Whether you opt for a compact model or a luxury version with extra functions: with the right choice, you can make your bathroom a nice place to start or end the day.

Popular types of shower cabins

Pentagonal shower cubicle

A 5-angle shower cubicle is ideal for smaller bathrooms. Thanks to its clever shape, this type of cabin takes up little space while still allowing you to shower comfortably. This way, you make the best use of the available space.

Quadrant shower cabin

Quarter-round cabins have an elegant and modern look. They fit nicely into a corner of the bathroom and are often easy to keep clean, as there are fewer sharp corners where dirt can accumulate.

Rectangular and square shower cabins

Do you have more space in your bathroom? Then rectangular or square cabins are an excellent choice. These models offer plenty of freedom of movement and can be fitted with luxury extras, such as rain showers or massage jets. Want to compare different styles, sizes and designs?

Installation and maintenance

A shower enclosure will last for years if it is properly installed and maintained:

• Installation: when in doubt, have a professional do the installation.
  

• Maintenance: dry the walls after use to prevent limescale.
  

• Seals: regularly check that kit edges and rubbers are still intact.
