First of all, it is important to decide what type of bathroom your shower enclosure is suitable for.

In a busy family bathroom, the shower enclosure needs to withstand daily knocks, knocks, knocks, so it's worth paying a little more to ensure quality and durability. For small bathrooms, you need to look for a space-saving design.

The shower enclosure is easy to put in and out and has many designs that can be used to fit any bathroom. The shower enclosure is also ideal for replacing bathtubs that have never been used.
The size of the shower enclosure is largely determined by the available space and bathroom layout. If you have a large bathroom, we recommend that you consider a walk-in shower, but if space is tight, folding doors or quarter-circle stalls offer space-saving options. Next, we will explain how to measure the shower enclosure.
Shower enclosures are made of reinforced safety glass and come in a variety of thicknesses, which affects the price. At the low end, cheap shower enclosures use 4mm glass, midrange enclosures use 6mm glass, and the high end uses 8mm glass.

When measuring a shower enclosure, you need the height, width, and depth of the room in which the enclosure or shower room will be installed.
Please check the measured values again for your safety. Here are some tips for measuring shower enclosures.
Consider the shape of the shower tray border. If the end of the tray is square, it should be measured from the end, but if it is rounded, it should be measured from the end of the curve.
If you install the shower partition between two walls, you need to make three measurements at three different heights. This is because the distance between the walls is unlikely to be the same all the time.
Shower doors and glass panels have tolerances that are adjusted to fit perfectly into fake walls.
The screen installed in the corner should measure from the outside of the shower tray to the walls on both sides.
If you have an old case and want to replace it immediately, just measure the existing case to save time.
Cleaning the shower room is not the best job, but unfortunately, it should be done on a regular basis. The glass of the shower enclosure can quickly become cloudy and lose its luster from soap and shampoo deposits. Be sure to follow these four tips to make your enclosure look good.
