Shower enclosures – how they differ?

When choosing a shower enclosure, you should focus on its design. Depending on the the chosen model, it can either be eye-catching or almost imperceptible. No matter which variant is chosen, SanSwiss shower enclosures have been designed in such a way as to guarantee comfort and safety. They have ergonomic handles and high-quality tempered glass covered with AQUAPERLE coating. An additional protective coating protects against the formation of deposits, and glass care is even easier than before.

Frame shower enclosureFrame profile-based structures are the most common type of shower enclosures in bathrooms. This is mainly due to their versatility and attractive price. Frame shower enclosures fit well in most interiors. It is a traditional and elegant solution where silver profiles are a decoration. This type of shower enclosure is characterized by the greatest tightness when opening and closing. An example of SanSwiss frame enclosure lines which are worth considering are the TOP-LINE and SALIA series. Metal is one of the basic materials used to create industrial and modern décor. Therefore, metal profiles perfectly fit into these trends. At the same time, they have been designed in such a way that they will also perfectly match a bathroom decorated in a traditional style.

Frameless shower enclosureIt is an innovative solution that will perfectly match a modern interior. This kind of shower enclosure is exclusive and elegant. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. Seemingly there aren't many elements - the whole structure consists of tempered glass and handles. There are no additional profiles, so the shower becomes a subtle decoration and complement to the interior. The glass is additionally strengthened and supported by massive handles. Therefore, despite the impression of lightness and fragility, this type of enclosure is very safe. Frameless shower enclosures look particularly impressive in large bathrooms. In this category the SanSwiss brand offers products from the PUR and CADURA lines. They feature extraordinary design combined with the highest ergonomics.

Enclosure with partial frameAs the name suggests, such an enclosure combines the previous two types. This means that some of the glass walls have profiles, and some do not. This solution provides a unique visual effect, and the structure is visually lighter compared to the frame version. By browsing the SanSwiss brand's products in the search of this type of enclosure, it is worth paying attention to lines such as SWING-LINE and SOLINO.

The aesthetic factor is also influenced by the type of tray in the shower. The cheapest solution is provided by SanSwiss shower enclosures with a tray, where the price is their greatest advantage. They do not offer many possibilities in terms of decoration. The finished product is assembled. In some cases, the shower tray is high and massive. Its design does not fully match the modern design style.

If you want more options, consider purchasing a shower enclosure and a tray separately. This makes it easier to match the shower tray to the decorating style. In the case of elegant minimalist interiors, the focus is on the economy of form. A flat shower tray works well with such interiors. To meet the expectations of customers, SanSwiss designed ultra-flat shower trays that are almost invisible against the bathroom background. They are characterized by ease of use, modern design and high-quality materials. This product group includes ILA and LIVADA shower trays.

Some people decide to have a shower enclosure without a shower tray, but with a linear drain. This solution is effective and convenient, but you have to take into account higher investment costs and an extensive scope of work. Installation of a linear drain involves a major renovation of the entire bathroom.
