What is a shower enclosure?

Our extensive shower enclosure options include single panel, folding double panel, and full-width glass doors, opening left or right as required. At C.P. Hart, you will also find sliding and bifold shower doors suitable for both traditional and contemporary suites.

What are the benefits of a shower enclosure?
- Shower enclosures are an excellent choice for smaller bathrooms and ensuites, available in various shapes and configurations, such as corner shower enclosures or custom-built enclosures for awkward spaces or recesses.
- Shower enclosures are virtually splash-proof; they can be installed in any bathroom setting. For example, if you have a period property with original wooden flooring, a shower enclosure will keep the water contained without damaging the wood.
- Shower enclosures typically provide more grip underfoot than a wetroom. This is due to the material and slip-proof properties of a shower tray.

SHOP WETROOMS
What is a wetroom?
A wetroom is a bathroom that has been fully ‘tanked’ with innovative drainage systems and waterproofing membranes, meaning the entire space is 100% watertight. A flush drain system is installed level with the flooring, then tiled over along with the rest of the bathroom to create a walk-in shower that doesn’t require a shower tray or shower enclosure. Though not a requirement, many customers choose to install a wetroom panel to reduce splashing and to enhance the bathroom’s design.
C.P. Hart’s designer wetrooms can be installed anywhere in the house and on every type of floor, including timber and concrete. We create wetrooms using only the best quality materials and waterproofing solutions that promise performance and longevity, providing years of luxury showering whilst ensuring that leakage is nigh impossible.
Our wetroom and waterproofing products are backed by our unique Lifetime Waterproofing Guarantee when purchased from C.P. Hart and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

What are the benefits of a wetroom?
- Wetrooms are ultra-sleek in design, offering a greater sense of space and openness than a shower enclosure.
- Completely watertight, a wetroom provides the luxury of a walk-in shower without the need for a shower tray or enclosure.
- A wetroom enhances any bathroom design, as floor tiles can be installed right up to the wall.
- Many choose to install a wetroom panel, offering a breadth of designs, from seamless glass panels for traditional schemes to crittall style, black-framed panels for contemporary spaces.
- Our wetrooms offer ultimate peace of mind, backed by our unique Lifetime Waterproofing Guarantee.

SHOP WETROOM PANELS
Wetroom Panels for Walk-In Showers
A wetroom panel is a glass screen that acts as a splash-proof barrier for the shower area. In many cases, a wetroom panel will also form part of the bathroom's design. Wetroom panels can be attached to most shower trays to form a walk-in shower or installed directly on the floor to complement a wetroom.
Our selection of wetroom panels allows for boundless levels of customisation, enabling you to complement your space as you please. In smaller bathrooms, a frameless glass screen will create the illusion of a larger space; they're also easier to maintain as they don't feature hinges or runners that can trap dirt. If your bathroom is expansive, a crittal style frame will provide a remarkable industrial statement.

SHOP SHOWER HEADS
The Rainfall shower
Invite the natural world indoors with a rainfall shower. This sought-after shower tends to have a large shower head, with a jet of water that simulates the effect of standing out in a refreshing summer downpour. Many of our rainfall shower heads are further enforced by air jets, which enrich the power and flow of water and overcome any limitations that may be presented by low water pressure.
With a range of styles and shapes available, there is a rainfall shower to suit every bathroom. Those looking to switch between shower styles can choose the option of installing a wall-mounted shower head as an alternative source.
