Black Grid Shower Enclosure in Loft - London

We completed this black grid corner shower enclosure in a London loft conversion. This project shows how we work with challenging spaces that have sloped ceilings and built-in furniture. Our team created and put in fluted glass panels with brushed black frames. This modern solution fits the room's unusual angles.

Brushed Black Frame Finish

This corner enclosure uses our brushed black finish, which takes extra weeks to complete during production. We sent all the frame parts together for coating so they would match perfectly. You can see the distinctive brushed texture on the frame edges.

We designed this corner shower to work with the loft space and complement the marble-pattern tiles. Our bespoke installation service handled the sloped ceiling angles and made the most of the available shower space.

8mm Thick Fluted Glass

This project uses 8mm thick fluted glass with 6mm deep flutes that stick out from the glass surface. The substantial flute depth provides excellent privacy while allowing light transmission through the vertical lines. The ladder handle works effectively with the fluted glass design.

The deep flutes made sealing more challenging than smooth glass, requiring careful attention during installation. We needed extra time to apply the mastic correctly around the textured surface. This ensures the shower maintains watertight performance in this loft bathroom.

Door Opening Space

The door opens approximately 90 degrees because the window and wall limit how far it can swing. This provides enough space for comfortable entry and exit. The magnetic closure system keeps the door securely closed during shower use.

The microcement floor features a walk-in design with no step up. The floor threshold works with the door seal to prevent water from escaping. This approach works well with the smooth microcement surface throughout this loft.

Custom Glass Cutting Work

This panel needed custom cutting for three difficult angles - the sloped ceiling, angled wall, and built-in bench. We measured carefully and cut the glass to fit exactly. All three edges needed perfect fits to seal properly.

The large panel was too wide for the loft stairs. We cut it into two sections and positioned them adjacent to each other. We sealed the gap between them, then the black grid bar covers the joint from both sides. Our black grid shower enclosures often use this method in loft spaces.

Grid Shower Enclosure in Loft Delivery Timeline

Corner installations require precise measurements for two-wall alignment. Your Grid Shower Enclosure in Loft timeline depends on wall preparation and tiling completion.

📋 Multiple Items: Each additional shower enclosure may extend Design, Assembly, 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

Faster Option

Your corner is tiled and both walls are ready. We'll measure the exact angles and wall alignment during our initial visit, then proceed with design and parallel frame-glass production.

Site Survey 1 day
Precise measurements and photos
Design & 3D 3 days
Create and approve your custom design
Parallel Production 20 days
Frame (20d) and Glass (8d) made simultaneously
Assembly 3 days
Glass fitted into frames
Installation 2 days
Professional on-site installation

✓ Efficient Process: With tiling complete, we take all measurements in one visit and run frame and glass production simultaneously.

Timeline Considerations for This Project

  • Frame brushing takes extra time and requires new anodising. Without brushing we could use our stock satin black and reduce frame anodising lead time to a few days.
  • The 8mm thick glass with 6mm flutes creates challenges for sealing due to the protruding texture. This requires an extra installation day for accurate mastic work and touch-ups.

Tiling Not Ready

Extended Timeline

Your corner walls need tiling. We'll take rough measurements of both walls for design visualization, start frame production early, then return for precise angle measurements once tiling is complete.

💡 Flexible Timeline: The waiting period begins after frame production (day 25) and varies based on your tiling schedule. If your tiling is completed during our frame production period, we can arrange the final measurements earlier and advance the entire schedule - moving final measurements, design adjustments, glass production, assembly, and installation to start as early as day 6 (right after design confirmation). The total timeline shows the minimum 43 working days if tiling is ready when frames are done.
