Typology: niche
Let’s start our short adventure in the world of shower enclosures, to understand how to choose the right one.
The first question to ask is which type do we need. Depending on the space available, tastes and style needs, the shower enclosure can change considerably.
A very popular style solution is the niche. A rectangular or square space created in your bathroom through the use of three walls. This space is perfect for the insertion of your shower cubicle and in fact is generally studied at the table during the design phase of the house. For this type of shower you will need a simple door, or two depending on the size, sliding or hinged.
In fact, only one side of the shower enclosure will be enough, since the others will be covered by the wall tiles.
Type: semicircular
We continue to choose the best shower enclosure with another type, perhaps not so popular recently, but always present, a valid option.
The semicircular shower box has the advantage of adapting well to all bathroom environments, thanks to its conformation capable of exploiting even small spaces.
A glass arch will enclose your space, with an elegant yet discreet line.
Type: rectangular and square
There are certainly other types, but for now we stop at this one, the main one is more common.
A square or rectangular shower enclosure fits well in any part of your bathroom. You can place it in a corner, against a wall and for the more imaginative even in the center of a room.
In fact, a shower enclosure of this type can vary depending on how many fixed and mobile walls we want to use. For example, for a cabin on the corner we can use a fixed side and a swing, or two sliding, one fixed and one sliding. The combinations are truly endless.

Glass
Once you have chosen your type of shower enclosure, you will have to face one of the main stylistic and functional choices: transparent or frosted glass.
This choice doesn’t just depend on your taste. Clear glass is definitely a stylistically unbeatable choice, also helping to give a sense of spaciousness to your bathroom.
On the other hand, a transparent glass, if not well cleaned, makes it easier to notice the limescale residues of the water. To remedy this, all the major companies are equipping their crystals with anti-limescale technology.
This allows the water to slide on the glass, leaving no residue. Almost magic.
If, on the other hand, you particularly care about the privacy of your shower, because perhaps other people could use the bathroom in the meantime, a frosted glass that prevents vision is certainly recommended.
Usage
Finally, one of the important factors in choosing the best shower enclosure for your needs is the use you will make of it.
For example, if the box you are choosing is for the fourth bathroom, hidden in the cellar, it may be different from the one chosen for the master bathroom.
Keep this in mind in your choice, as the budget can vary a lot.
