Shower cabinsBy Shark Shutter· Published

The right shower cabin makes the bathroom comfortable to use. Before choosing a look, check the space in front of the door, the layout of the fixtures and the direction of movement.

Sliding systems

French, Spanish and Belgian sliding systems are available, each with its own design. The Spanish system has a fully concealed internal track with no visible wheels, and the final choice is made after checking the sizes and the design.

Hinged, folding and pivot

A hinged system suits bathrooms with room for the door to open. A folding system folds onto itself to make the most of limited space. A pivot door turns on a vertical axis for a look that differs from standard opening or sliding doors.

Glass and handles are part of the choice

Shark Shutter systems use 10 mm Saint-Gobain Securit glass, in clear, smoked black, grey, honey and reeded options, with recessed handles or 20 cm round or square handles among other designs.

Test the movement before deciding

It's best to settle the system after measuring and understanding the opening direction and the design you want. That helps you choose a cabin that's easy to use and fits the bathroom's details.
