When is a shower cabin small?
A small shower enclosure is defined when the dimensions are:
- 70×70 cm
- 70×90 cm
- 70×80 cm
- 80×80 cm
Do not think that the small shower enclosure is limited in solutions or is necessarily insignificant, or is synonymous with inexpensive shower enclosure. It can be declined in different ways and with various finishes of aluminium and glass that make it perfectly integrable even in bathrooms with fine details.
The best openings for the small shower enclosure
Small shower enclosure, sliding doors
Due to the dimensions of the cabin, sliding doors can be used only if both are sliding, in order to have a sufficient entrance space. This is because the sliding door is composed of two parts, one fixed and one note that flows. If we consider in fact the thickness of the profile that is fixed, the space needed on each side to slide is less than half (for a side of 70 is 30 cm). If the sliding door is used for both doors you reach the 45 cm entrance, the minimum required to access a shower.
Small shower cabin, hinged doors
The hinged door is an excellent solution because the useful entrance space is almost total. However, it requires attention to the space in the vicinity, such as sanitary, furniture or washing machines and the like, because it is a door that takes up space in opening towards the outside. It seems trivial, but often people notice when everything is installed that the spaces are little usable. Tip: Study the bathroom plan well and calculate the distances between the various elements.
Small shower cabin, bellows doors
A small shower with a bellows opening, also called a book opening or accordion or retractable, is a very used solution because it guarantees a useful entrance of about 90% compared to the width of the door. Its operation, moreover, takes up a minimum space towards the outside and allows multiple solutions, including the double bellows without frame, the union of a bellows door and a fixed side, both with frame and without frame, as well as different thicknesses for the glass.
Small shower cabin, saloon doors
It is a very practical solution that allows the double opening, inwards and outwards, and makes the environment breathe because it replaces the single glass door with two small size and fast use.
