Black Shower with Slanted Ceiling - London

We installed this frameless shower with slanted ceiling in a London loft bathroom. This project shows how we adapt our designs for loft spaces with angled roofs. Our team created a custom inline enclosure that works with the sloped ceiling on the left side. The Ultra Clear glass provides perfect transparency against the green tiles.

Loft Bathroom with Angled Ceiling

The full bathroom view shows how this shower integrates with the loft space. We positioned the shower to make the most of the available height under the sloped roof. The green vertical tiles complement the patterned floor tiles, creating a cohesive design throughout the room.

The black hardware stands out against the green tiles and white ceiling. We coordinated our satin black finish with the black towel heater on the right side. This creates visual continuity while the brass shower fixtures add warmth to the colour scheme.

Slanted Ceiling Glass Adaptation

This loft installation features a fixed screen on the left with an angled top edge. We cut the glass to follow the exact ceiling line, leaving just 2mm for sealing. The door sits between two fixed screens with glass-to-glass hinges that allow it to open both inward and outward.

The frameless design keeps the shower feeling open despite the sloped ceiling. Our precise glass cutting ensures the panel fits perfectly against the angled roof. The Ultra Clear glass maintains transparency, making this corner shower feel larger than its actual footprint.

Inward Opening Door Function

The door opens inward at 90 degrees without touching the sloped ceiling. This opening angle provides convenient access to reach the shower controls on the right wall. We positioned the door to swing left, which still leaves plenty of space despite the angled ceiling.

Glass-to-glass hinges connect the door to the fixed screen on the right. This configuration gives excellent access to the brass shower controls before entering. The door's dual swing capability means users can choose the most convenient opening direction for their needs.

Outward Door Swing Benefits

Opening outward, the door provides full access to the shower space. The glass-to-glass hinges allow smooth operation in both directions. We chose this hinge type because of the towel heater placement on the bathroom wall.

This outward swing gives users easy reach to their towels on the black heater. The door position between two fixed screens creates a stable configuration. Our bespoke showers handle these complex loft installations with proper planning for fixture locations.

Minimalist Bracket Installation

Our wall bracket system uses four 50x50mm black fixtures to support the fixed screens. These small brackets create minimal visual impact while providing secure glass mounting. We position brackets at the same height as the door hinges for visual alignment.

The clear mastic sealing creates a neat 2-3mm gap between glass and tiles. This precise sealing prevents water escape while maintaining the frameless aesthetic. Our minimalistic door seals measure just 8mm wide and remain barely visible on the glass edges.

When Will Your Shower with Slanted Ceiling Be Ready?

Frameless designs emphasize clean lines and minimal hardware for maximum visual impact. Your Shower with Slanted Ceiling timeline depends on precise measurements and 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

Your walls are tiled and ready for frameless installation. We'll take precise measurements for minimal hardware placement, then proceed directly with glass production.

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

  • A second installation day is required because the door uses glass-to-glass hinges attached to a fixed screen. The fixed screen is held by wall brackets and perimeter mastic which needs time to set. We install the brackets and fixed screens on day one, then return to hang the door after the adhesive has properly cured.

Tiling Not Ready

Extended Timeline

Your walls need tiling before frameless installation. We'll take initial measurements for visualization, then return for final measurements and proceed with glass production.

💡 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.
