Sliding Door Shower Enclosure - Bedford

This bespoke sliding door shower enclosure in Bedford combines traditional bathroom elements with modern glass design. The frameless enclosure features brushed brass hardware and was carefully fitted to work with the room's sloped ceiling and existing architecture.

Frameless Design with Brass Hardware

We created this sliding door shower enclosure using 10mm ultra clear glass for a crystal-clear finish. The frameless design with brushed brass hardware complements the traditional bathroom features while providing modern functionality.

The bespoke shower was installed on a raised white shower tray, creating a defined showering area without breaking the flow of the bathroom's traditional design elements.

Custom Ceiling Cutout

A key challenge was fitting the enclosure under the exposed timber beam. We carefully measured and created a polished cutout in the glass top edge, allowing it to fit perfectly around the ceiling beam.

The sliding mechanism needed precise adjustment to work with the ceiling restrictions while ensuring smooth door operation. Our technical team designed a modified track stopper to make everything work seamlessly.

Practical Door Positioning

We positioned the sliding door on the left side where the shower controls are located. This thoughtful design choice makes it easy to reach in and adjust the water before stepping into the shower.

Our shower enclosures are designed with usability in mind, ensuring the final installation is not just beautiful but practical for everyday use.

Smooth Sliding Operation

The sliding door mechanism provides space-saving benefits perfect for this bathroom layout. Unlike hinged doors, sliding doors don't require swing space, making them ideal for compact or unusual bathroom spaces.

Our brass system uses high-quality rollers that ensure silent, smooth operation through our sliding mechanisms that will continue to perform flawlessly for years to come.

Innovative Glass Edge Detail

A unique aspect of this installation was the 2mm gap between the glass and blue half-wall. To create a seamless look, we painted the outer glass edge to match the blue wall paneling.

This clever solution ensures that no moisture or dirt can get between the glass and wall, while creating the visual impression that the glass and wall are touching with no visible sealant.

Traditional and Modern Balance

The traditional bathroom with its wooden door, blue paneling and white sanitary ware created a perfect backdrop for our modern glass and brass enclosure. The contrast creates a balanced, timeless look.

Our technical team works with any bathroom style, adapting our designs to blend with existing features while ensuring all glass edges and fixtures are perfectly finished for both safety and style.

Complete Bathroom Integration

The finished enclosure sits perfectly between the bathtub and half-wall, creating a defined wet area that complements the entire bathroom. The brass fixtures match other bathroom elements for a cohesive look.

Our meticulous installation process ensured that this complex shower fit perfectly in the available space, with precise measurements accommodating all the room's unique architectural features.

When Will Your Sliding Door Shower Enclosure Be Ready?

Frameless corner installations rely on precise glass-to-glass connections and minimal hardware. Your Sliding Door 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
Precise measurements and photos
Design & 3D 3 days
Create and approve your frameless design
Glass Production 9 days
Cutting, tempering, and processing
Installation 1 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

  • Glass production takes longer because we needed to paint part of the glass to match the blue half-wall shape so no dust gets between them. The glass paint needs time to cure properly. If painting isn't needed it saves a few days.

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.

Initial Visit 1 day

💡 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.
