How to orient yourself in choosing the shower enclosure
To choose the shower enclosure suitable for specific needs it is good to evaluate a number of factors such as: design, types of opening, materials to be used. The convergence of these three elements can create infinite combinations. Design, types of opening and materials are closely linked to each other, there are materials, for example, that are more suitable for a design product (such as the Grey Europe glass finish) or opening types that prefer a simple style instead, marked by durability and ease of use.
Shower enclosure with frame
It has one of its main advantages:
- The ease of installation.
- Increased strength and protection for accidental damage.
- A greater water tightness.
While among the disadvantages we can find only a longer and more complex cleaning.
Shower enclosure without frame
The advantages of a frameless shower enclosure are:
- Greater stage presence inside the bathroom

Finally, two situations to consider when opting for a shower enclosure without frame:
- Water tightness is more delicate when the shower enclosure is small
- Greater care should be taken during installation to prevent breakage from unwelcome handling
