Where is your shower?

This tells you how many glass panels you need and which models will work. Take a look at your bathroom and pick the layout that matches it best.

In a corner

In a corner

The most common layout. The enclosure closes off two sides and the walls take care of the other two. Choose between a single door with a side panel or two doors that open at the corner.

In an alcove, between two walls

In an alcove, between two walls

The shower sits between two walls, so you only need the front. A straight enclosure is the simplest and most affordable option.

Sloped wall or attic

Sloped wall or attic

For corners that are not square or a sloped ceiling above the shower. The door sits at a 135° angle, so the enclosure follows the shape of the room.

Open shower, no door

Open shower, no door

A single glass panel with a support bar to the wall. The shower stays open, the bathroom looks bigger, and cleaning could not be easier.

Hinged or sliding doors?

Both systems are reliable. The difference comes down to how much space you have in front of the shower and what kind of entry you want.

Hinged door

A wide entry and clean glass with no tracks

  • The door swings outward, so the entry is as wide as the door itself.
  • There is no bottom track, so the glass and floor are easy to clean.
  • You need clear space in front of the enclosure about as wide as the door.

Best for: medium and large bathrooms with no sink or toilet in front of the shower.

Sliding doors

No space needed in front of the shower

  • The door slides along the fixed panel and stays in line with the enclosure.
  • A great fit for small bathrooms or when the sink is close to the shower.
  • The entry is a little narrower, since part of the glass stays fixed.

Best for: small bathrooms and tight spaces where a door cannot swing outward.

Quick rule: picture the door swinging open in front of the shower. If it would hit the sink, toilet or radiator, go with sliding doors.

Which glass?

All our glass is tempered and safe. The options differ in how much light they let through, how much privacy they offer and how visible water spots are.

Clear

Lets in the most light, so the bathroom feels bigger and more open. Your tiles and fixtures stay front and center.

Good to know: water spots and limescale show, so it helps to squeegee the glass after each shower.

Frosted

Matte glass that gives you privacy while still letting light through. A good choice when several people share the bathroom.

Good to know: water spots are barely noticeable, so the glass looks clean for longer.

Black

Tinted glass for a modern, striking look. It looks best with black hardware and light tiles.

Good to know: in a small bathroom without a window it can feel darker, so choose it when there is plenty of light.

Which hardware finish?

Hardware means the hinges, handles and glass brackets. The easiest approach is to match it to your faucets and shower, so the whole bathroom feels cohesive.

Black

Pairs with black faucets and modern, minimalist bathrooms. With black glass it gives you a fully dark enclosure.

Gold

A warm tone that goes beautifully with wood, beige and earthy tiles, and gold faucets.

Silver

The classic choice for chrome faucets. It suits almost any bathroom and never goes out of style.

Tip: on each model page you can combine glass and hardware and instantly see how the enclosure looks.

Size and price

Rough measurements are all you need for a price. Enter them in the calculator on the model page and see the price right away. We take the exact measurements ourselves before production, free of charge.

How to measure

  1. WidthMeasure the wall or walls where the glass will go, at floor level and at about two meters high. Enter the smaller number.
  2. LengthFor a corner enclosure, also measure the other side, from the wall to where the door will be.
  3. HeightA typical enclosure is about two meters tall. If you have a sloped ceiling, measure the height at its lowest point.
  4. CalculatorEnter your measurements on the model page and instantly see the price with your chosen glass and hardware.

Before production we visit your address to check the measurements. We cut the glass to fit the actual space, even when the walls are not straight. The price depends on size, glass and hardware. Installation can be added in the calculator, and a travel fee applies to addresses more than 30 km from Niš.

Frequently asked questions

Which shower enclosure is best for a small bathroom?

One with sliding doors, since they do not swing outward and take up no space. If the shower is between two walls, a straight Flat Slide enclosure is the best fit.

Is a hinged or a sliding door enclosure better?

Neither is better on its own. Hinged doors give you a wider entry and have no bottom track, so they are easier to clean. Sliding doors are the better choice when there is no room in front of the shower for a door to open.

Which glass is easiest to maintain?

Water spots are barely visible on frosted glass. Clear glass stays looking great if you squeegee it after each shower.

Do I need to measure myself?

No, you do not. Your rough measurements are only there so you can see the price right away. Before production we visit your address and take exact measurements, free of charge.

What if my walls are not straight or square?

That is very common. We cut the glass to the actual measurements of your bathroom, so the enclosure fits well even when the walls are not perfect.

How long do production and installation take?

Your enclosure is ready in 7 to 15 business days. It comes with a 2 year warranty that covers the glass, hardware and installation.
