Corner Shower Enclosure: Square vs. Circular


by DoItYourself Staff

A corner shower enclosure is one of the most affordable and easiest improvements you can get for your bathroom. You can choose a customized enclosure that will fit your exact specifications or simply go for the ready-made kits available in the market. The most popular and widely available shower enclosure kits have square or circular structures. Here's how you can decide between these 2 types.

Square Corner Shower Enclosure

This is the most traditional of all corner shower enclosure types and it is due to the fact that it can seamlessly fit in bathroom corners. A square shower enclosure has 2-walled shower stalls and can match any bathroom design or style. This type is also ideal for bathrooms that are small and have a limited floor space. Lastly, a square enclosure is very flexible as it can accommodate different door types, including bi-fold and swing doors.

Circular Shower Enclosure

A round corner shower assembly is similar to the square variety as it also features 2-walled stalls. The only difference is the curved front or door frame. This type is a favorite among designers or homeowners who want a warmer and more flowing bathroom design or motif. Circular enclosures have sliding curved doors, which can take out the need for too much space in front of the shower enclosure.
