Antique Brass Shower Enclosure - London

This corner shower enclosure shows how antique brass hardware can transform a bathroom design. The warm brass finish matches other bathroom fixtures beautifully, while the wall recessed installation creates clean lines that work perfectly with the scaffolding board walls.

Spacious Corner Design with Stone Tray

This corner shower enclosure sits on a stone tray with an 80mm upstand that we recessed the glass into. The antique brass hardware complements the warm wood boards and ornate chandelier perfectly. You can see how the scaffolding boards create texture against the clean subway tile inside the shower.

The stone tray was already in place when we arrived, and we sealed the glass into the tiled upstand using matching colour mastic. This creates a water-tight seal while keeping the design looking neat. The three antique brass hinges support the heavy door, and the 45-degree reinforcement arm at the top keeps everything stable.

Wall Recessed Installation with Antique Brass Hardware

We installed antique brass U-channels where the glass sits against the walls, keeping them flush with both the scaffolding boards and the tiles. The profiles sit recessed into the walls so they don't stick out, creating clean lines that follow the existing surfaces.

This wall recessed approach means you don't see any bulky brackets or fixtures. The U-channels hold the glass securely while the matching antique brass finish ties everything together. Through our enclosure options, we create installations that work perfectly with your existing bathroom design.

Door Opens Inward with Towel Rail

The door opens inward and can swing 90 degrees each way, but most people use it opening inside. We installed a towel rail on the door because there's nowhere else nearby to hang a towel. When you open the door inward, the towel rail swings out and the towel is right in front of you.

This practical solution means you can place your towel before showering, then it's perfectly positioned when you finish. The towel rail is also in antique brass to match all the other hardware. The door needed three hinges instead of two because it's quite heavy with the 10mm clear glass.

Heavy Door Needs Extra Support

Because this door uses 10mm clear glass, it's quite heavy and needed extra support. We used three antique brass hinges instead of the usual two, and added a 45-degree reinforcement arm at the top. This arm connects to the return panel and keeps everything stable when the door opens and closes.

The reinforcement arm is positioned at an angle to give the best support while staying out of the way. Like all the hardware, it's finished in antique brass to match the hinges and towel rail. This extra support means the door will stay perfectly aligned for years of smooth operation.

Antique Brass Finish Complements Period Features

The warm antique brass finish works beautifully with this bathroom's period character. You can see how the brass hardware complements the ornate chandelier above and creates a cohesive design that feels both classic and timeless. The scaffolding board walls add texture that pairs perfectly with the vintage-style metalwork.

This antique brass treatment gives the shower enclosure a premium look that matches high-end bathroom fixtures. The clear glass keeps the space feeling open while the brass hardware provides the perfect accent against the natural wood and stone materials.

Frameless Corner Shower Enclosure Delivery Timeline

Frameless corner installations rely on precise glass-to-glass connections and minimal hardware. Your Frameless Corner Shower Enclosure timeline depends on measurement accuracy and wall preparation.

📋 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

Your corner is tiled and both walls are ready for frameless installation. We'll measure the exact angles for glass-to-glass connections, then proceed directly with glass production.

Site Survey 1 day

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

  • Installation requires two days because we need to recess the profiles into the wall and coordinate with the tiler for proper wall and floor integration with hidden profile edges.

Tiling Not Ready

Extended Timeline

Your corner walls need tiling before frameless installation. We'll take rough measurements for design visualization, then return for precise measurements once both walls are tiled.

💡 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.
