We think that a short guide could be useful to orient yourself in the most common situations in which it is necessary to resort to a custom-made shower enclosure. Since it cannot be exhaustive, Relax is at your disposal to advise you, with its expertise, on the most suitable solution for your bathroom without sacrificing quality and design.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”35px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

From a production point of view, we have no limitations in the height of a shower enclosure. However, to ensure the stability of the shower enclosure and the safety of those who use it, we recommend that you respect the following heights:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]\u2022 glass 4 mm \u21d2 maximum recommended height 200 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 glass 6 mm \u21d2 maximum recommended height 220 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022 glass 8 mm \u21d2 maximum recommended height 250 cm<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-2″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In principle, there are no length or depth limits in the construction of the shower enclosure. In fact, it is sufficient to combine a door with a fixed in-line wall in order to have the necessary size. While the door has limitations in the maximum dimensions, which vary according to the type of opening (sliding, hinged, pivoting or saloon). The fixed wall can vary in size without particular limitations. In this case, it is important to use the correct support bar to give stability to the shower enclosure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-3″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Some types of shower enclosures (for example walk-in) require, for their stability, the assembly of a stabilizer bar. Usually, the proposed support bar is the horizontal one (perpendicular to the wall). However, if due to the presence of a window it prevents its positioning, Relax solves the problem by proposing the following types of support as an alternative: Oblique shelf, 45 \u00b0 bar, vertical ceiling bar or a clamp to be used both on the wall and on the ceiling if the height of the glass allows it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12216″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_single_image image=”12220″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_single_image image=”12286″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-14″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-4″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The walk-in is the simplest solution to adopt. In fact, great planning is not required but only a correct measurement. However, there is the possibility of making a 2 cm adjustment <\/strong> if the wall is not perpendicular thanks to the profile fixed to the wall. The stability <\/strong> is guaranteed by the support bar <\/strong>, which can be horizontal, vertical, at 45 \u00b0 or replaced by a clamp if you need to fix it on the sloping roof (see above).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12264″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-5″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n If you need to install a box <\/strong> shower <\/strong> corner <\/strong>, we can use a model with hinged opening <\/strong> or sliding <\/strong>. Between the two hypotheses, the shower enclosure with hinged opening <\/strong> is usually preferred. However, let’s see the detail: a) shower enclosure with hinged opening <\/strong>: In this case, shaping can be done both in the door ( A <\/strong>) and in the fixed side ( B <\/strong>). It is a type of work that is not particularly demanding.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12196″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]b) shower cabin with sliding opening: even with the sliding opening, the shaping can be done both on the side of the door and on the fixed side. If the shaping is done on the fixed side there are no problems (A). In the event that the sliding part is located on the attic (B), it will be necessary to take into account the opening dimensions of the sliding door and the sliding track.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12252″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-6″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Compared to the solutions seen above, the solutions possible with the niche shower enclosure <\/strong> provide for the possibility of having only the swing door, the swing door with the fixed side or the sliding shower enclosure. Let’s see what solutions exist: a) Swing door only: <\/strong> can be shaped without major constraints. It is important to remember that, if the wall is not perfectly straight, our profiles allow for an adjustment of 2cm.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12240″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]b) Swing door + fixed side in line: in this case, the shaping can be done only on the swing door, only on the fixed wall or, in very particular situations, on both.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12204″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]c) Sliding door + fixed side in line: the shaping can only be done on the fixed part. In order for this solution to be practicable, it is necessary to take into account the opening dimensions of the sliding door and the track so that the entrance space allows for convenient access.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12248″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-7″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The presence of protrusions or walls is common in a bathroom. It can depend either on the shape of the bathroom itself or on constructive choices. Also in this case, it is possible to offer solutions that include the walk-in <\/strong>, the corner shower enclosure <\/strong> or the niche <\/strong> one. Let’s go and see the 3 different possibilities.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The situation is very similar to that seen with the attic, what changes is only the position of the shaping. The wall profile allows an adjustment of 2cm if the wall is not perpendicular. Stability is guaranteed by the support bar, which can be horizontal (A), vertical (B), at 45 \u00b0 or replaced by a clamp if you need to fix it on the sloping roof (see point 3 above).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12268″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n In the case of a corner shower enclosure with hinged opening <\/strong>, the shaping can be done indiscriminately on the door ( A <\/strong>) or on the fixed side ( B <\/ strong >). Of the 2 solutions, the one with the shaped fixed side is certainly preferable.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12192″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The shaping of the niche shower enclosure <\/strong> with hinged opening can include shaping on the fixed side or a door with shaped hinges in its fixed part.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12236″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-8″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The situation of the shower enclosure leaning against the bathtub <\/strong> is solved with the same approach as when in the bathroom we have the shower enclosure shaped by protrusions or low walls that we have just seen above.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12208″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-9″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The made-to-measure shower enclosure <\/strong> is used when the bathroom has particular shapes or when particular dimensions are required. However, sometimes these situations can be solved with special compensation profiles <\/strong>. Their advantage is that they allow you to use a standard sized shower enclosure and thus allow you to save time and money <\/strong>. The types of these profiles are:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n They are the most common and are used when the standard shower enclosure is missing a few centimeters to be installed. They allow you to increase the standard size <\/strong>:<\/p>\n These profiles are positioned between the shower enclosure and the fixing wall and are of the same finish and the height of the shower enclosure. To illustrate, the final size of a corner shower enclosure 80×80 <\/strong> could become 84×84. There is no single type of elongation profile, but there are different types:[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12200″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n It is usually used in the presence of a low wall, an overhang or a niche when it is not possible to mount the wall profile from the front, but only on the side. It can be used both for corner cabins, in niche or fixed walls, in the various types of opening.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12224″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n It is used when the shower enclosure <\/strong> must be installed in the presence of non-right angles. It is an uncommon situation which, however, when it occurs can be resolved quickly and without burdening with excessive costs.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_single_image image=”12212″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-10″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The narrow and long bathroom <\/strong> often requires custom-made shower enclosures. As we have seen, Relax is able to provide multiple solutions both in width and depth. However, to try to solve these space-saving <\/strong> problems of the bathroom with standard solutions, Relax in the catalog has asymmetrical shower enclosures suitable for solving these situations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n If the doors and windows are positioned on the short sides, it becomes difficult to position a corner shower cubicle or, even positioning it, you may have little space inside the shower. The LUXOR model, which has a depth of 60 cm at the fixing point, extends to 120cm or 140cm and progressively widens up to 80 cm, to be able to move around comfortably. The opening is both internal and external.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12232″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n It is a sliding shower enclosure with detachable doors for easier cleaning. It maintains a reduced depth starting from 70cm up to 90cm wide in the smallest size up to the largest size of 80×120.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12260″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-11″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The Light D1 and D2 model is a shower enclosure with doors that are not full height but are divided in half in two. In this way it is possible to open the upper door of the door independently of the lower part. By doing this, you can help the person inside the shower cabin without having the problem of water coming out. It can be installed both in a corner and in a niche.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12273″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The Light AS model allows to have a total opening and to be devoid of any lower or upper architectural barrier. It can be installed both in a corner and in a niche.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12228″ img_size=”730×400″][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”paragraph-12″][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Stone effect shower trays in GEL-COAT and mineral resins. They have excellent resistance to scratches and wear thanks to the 1mm thick gel-coat coating. They can be customized both in width and in length up to 250cm. If necessary, they can be cut on site.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_single_image image=”12244″ img_size=”730×600″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Smooth Solid Surface shower tray.
