3-Sided Shower Enclosure - Bristol

This bespoke frameless three-sided shower enclosure was installed in Bristol using 10mm Ultra Clear toughened glass. A precise combination of UV bonding, wall brackets, and careful stone integration ensures strength without visible supports. The enclosure’s open feel blends with the surrounding marble walls and timber flooring.

Three-Sided Frameless Layout with Stone Tray

This large frameless enclosure was anchored on a custom natural stone tray and side walls, featuring glass-to-glass junctions without visible framing. Slim wall brackets and invisible mastic sealing at the tray maintain a crisp, open look.

This installation represents the precision and clean execution of our tailored glass solutions.

Swing Door with UV-Bonded Glass-to-Glass Joints

The swing door operates both inward and outward, attached using nickel glass-to-glass hinges with a built-in self-centring action. UV-bonded connections across fixed panels eliminate bulky hinges, keeping the design lightweight and visually seamless.

Precision Cut-Outs for Stone Details

The glass panels were notched precisely around the custom stone tray and side half-walls. Every joint was aligned carefully to avoid misalignment with the bespoke marble base, and sealed invisibly for a sharp architectural finish.

Attention to millimetre-perfect glass cutting and bonding is a core principle of every high-end frameless installation we undertake.

Open Access and Frameless Transparency

Thanks to its wide layout and absence of framing, the enclosure maintains an airy feel despite its large size. Light reflects across the Ultra Clear glass, enhancing the openness of the space and complementing the timber bathroom flooring outside the tray.

Minimal visible fixings and joints allow the shower to disappear seamlessly into the architectural backdrop of the bathroom.

UV Bonded Strength and Durability

UV-cured bonding at all critical corners ensures strong structural integrity without heavy brackets or overlapping glass. This method supports the durability of the enclosure even with daily use while preserving its crisp frameless lines.

Each project we complete uses the most appropriate technical methods to balance aesthetics, strength, and long-term maintenance reliability.

What's the 3-Sided Shower Enclosure Production Timeline?

Three-sided frameless designs require UV-bonded glass joints and structural calculations. Manufacturing time for your 3-Sided Shower Enclosure varies based on tiling completion.

📋 Multiple Items: Each additional shower enclosure may extend Design and Installation by approximately 1 working day. However, orders of 5+ units benefit from streamlined production processes that reduce per-unit time. We'll provide an optimized timeline for your specific project.

Tiling Ready

Simplest Process

All walls are tiled, the floor is ready for frameless glass installation. We'll capture precise dimensions for UV-bonded corner joints and proceed with glass cutting.

Site Survey 1 day
Precise measurements and photos
Design & 3D 3 days
Create and approve your frameless design
Glass Production 8 days
Cutting, tempering, and processing
Installation 2 days
Professional fitting with minimal hardware

✓ Streamlined Process: Frameless options require less time than framed equivalents - just 14 working days total with precise measurements taken in one visit.

Timeline Considerations for This Project

  • This is a massive three-sided enclosure that's not a simple shape to install. The large size and complex angles require two full installation days to fit everything properly and ensure it's watertight.

Tiling Not Ready

Extended Timeline

Your three walls need tiling before frameless glass installation. We'll measure basic dimensions for design, then return for exact measurements for UV-bonded joints.

💡 Flexible Timeline: The waiting period begins after design confirmation (day 4) and varies based on your tiling schedule. If your tiling is completed during this early period, we can arrange the final measurements earlier and advance the entire schedule - moving final measurements, design adjustments, glass production, and installation to start as early as day 5. The total timeline shows the minimum 16 working days if tiling is ready when design is confirmed.
