01 · Alcove Shower
Alcove shower design
This frameless shower enclosure fits perfectly within a 1600 mm × 1000 mm alcove, with the glass screen measuring approximately 1200 mm × 2300 mm. The installation features two side panels with a central door, all crafted from 10 mm ultra-clear glass.
Rather than the standard centre positioning, this bespoke shower enclosure was installed flush with the front face of the recess, creating a more open feel for the bathroom. The minimalist design uses subtle 15×20 mm U-channels in antique copper to secure the glass.
02 · Shower Integration
Shower integration in recess
Viewed from the right side, this shower enclosure in a recess shows how the frameless glass harmonises with the natural stone tiling and the freestanding bath. The shower's full-height design maximises a sense of space while preserving the clean lines of the bathroom.
The antique copper fixtures perfectly complement the deeper copper tone of the shower controls and dual showerheads inside. This careful matching of finishes creates a cohesive look throughout the shower enclosure, connecting it visually with the room's other features.
03 · Hinges
Versatile door design
The front view shows the door partially opened outwards, revealing our nearly invisible 7 mm shower seals along the edge. The door's placement was carefully calculated to ensure that when opened 90 degrees, it won't contact the adjacent bath.
All our doors feature a self-centring mechanism within the hinge, ensuring smooth operation while preventing overextension. This particular inline shower door can swing both inwards and outwards, offering flexibility based on the user's preference.
04 · Full Height
Spacious interior
With the door fully opened outwards, the alcove shower's generous interior is revealed. The space features dual showerheads, transforming this enclosure into a luxury double shower. The natural stone tiles continue from the bathroom floor into the shower area, creating a seamless transition.
While maintaining a full-height design, we left a small 20 mm gap above the door for ventilation. Combined with the bathroom's high-performance extractor fan, this ensures proper air circulation without compromising the clean, frameless appearance of this inline shower enclosure.
05 · Alcove Layout
Bi-directional door operation
Here, the same view shows the door opened inward—a practical feature after showering to prevent water from dripping onto the bathroom floor. The dual-swing capability offers convenience while also addressing safety concerns.
For safety reasons, we always recommend outward-opening doors to prevent anyone from potentially becoming trapped inside a shower. However, the inward-opening option adds versatility for everyday use in this alcove shower installation. Our quality shower enclosures give users the best of both worlds.
06 · U-Channels
Elegant hardware details
The partially opened door highlights the elegant antique copper hardware, including the traditional-style doorknob. These warm-toned fixtures stand out beautifully against the ultra-clear glass and white wall panelling on the bathroom side.
The frameless design emphasises the quality of the glass and craftsmanship, with the minimal 15×20 mm U-channels providing secure support while remaining visually unobtrusive. This approach is signature to our alcove shower enclosures, allowing the materials to speak for themselves.
07 · Finished Space
An adaptable design approach
This final image shows the same alcove shower enclosure design installed in another part of the project, but with the bath positioned on the left instead of the right. This demonstrates the flexibility of our inline shower designs in adapting to various bathroom layouts.
Whether referred to as an alcove shower, a shower in a recess, or an inline shower enclosure, this installation type remains one of the most popular and practical options for bathrooms. Our frameless glass design maximises space and light while creating a stunning focal point for any bathroom.
