Shower Enclosures Buying Guide

At Mira, we offer a range of shower enclosures to suit any space, from corner-entry showers to walk-in showers. You can also choose from various doors and shower trays to suit your preference. Our shower enclosure buying guide will help you find the perfect solution for your bathroom.

Your bathroom’s size and configuration may determine the type of shower enclosure you choose. For example, a corner-entry shower enclosure saves space in small bathrooms and ensuites. In a family bathroom, you might want a more spacious design or a walk-in shower for accessibility.

Shower doors can either slide, fold, hinge or pivot open. Sliding or bi-fold doors are best for small bathrooms as they open inwards. Pivot and hinged doors open outwards, so they’re better for larger bathrooms. Most showers are fully enclosed on all sides, but you may prefer a single glass panel to create an open design, like a walk-in shower.

The glass panels and door will prevent the rest of the room from getting wet, but it’s essential to protect the walls inside your shower enclosure too. The best way to do this is with wall panels or tiles, ensuring the area is waterproof. Discover the benefits of bathroom wall panels compared to tiles and find the best option for your home.

At Mira, we stock a range of shower enclosures to suit every bathroom, including corner, quadrant, pentagon and walk-in options. All our shower enclosures are made from toughened safety glass in various thicknesses. They also feature CleanCoat® technology, making the glass easy to clean and looking brand new for longer.

Corner entry shower enclosures are one of the most popular choices for bathrooms of any size. They come in square or rectangular configurations and usually have bi-fold doors.

Like a corner shower, pentagon shower enclosures can fit snugly into awkward or unused spaces, making them ideal for small bathrooms. Their five-sided design makes them a unique feature. They typically come with bi-fold or pivot doors.

Quadrant shower enclosures feature a stylish curved front with sliding doors for easy entry. They are another space-saving option for small bathrooms, fitting neatly into a corner.

Customise your shower enclosure with the right shower doors. Whether you have plenty of room or need space-saving solutions, we offer shower doors in various sizes and configurations, including bi-fold, hinged, pivot and sliding doors.

Bi-fold shower doors are inward-opening to maximise space. Their clever design makes them ideal in ensuites or small bathrooms. Pair bi-fold doors with any shower trays, including quadrant, pentagon and corner entry.

Sliding shower doors are a space-saving option, as the door slides along tracks inside the enclosure, providing a wide entrance. Unlike a hinged design, you won’t need additional room to open the door. Choose sliding shower doors for corner-entry, quadrant or pentagon enclosures.

If you have a shower over bath, find hinged and fixed shower screens in various sizes and styles. Choose from mini, single and twin designs, depending on the size of your bath.
