As a bathroom installer I fit alot of shower enclosures, but alot of the time my customer dont understand the different types of enclosures available, or call a shower enclosure something like a corner shower, when they actually mean a quadrant shower enclosure.
So to help people looking for a shower enclosures here is a list of the types of shower enclosures available.
Bifold Shower Enclosure

Corner entry shower enclosures usually comes with two sides that are split in half, one section as non-moveable panel and one section as a slide door so that entering the shower enclosure does not need any space outside out of it.
Pivot Shower Doors

Quadrant Shower Enclosure
Quadrant Shower Enclosures – A Quadrant Shower is a shower enclosure that fits into corners of bathrooms or shower rooms and is designed with a curved side, usually the entry side of the shower. Quadrant shower enclosures come with either one door which allows entry from the side, or with two doors to allow entry in the middle of the curve.
Sliding Shower Door Shower Enclosure
Sliding Shower Doors – Sliding Shower Doors are shower doors that slides open and closed. Sliding shower doors can be installed between walls or with side panels simular to hinged or pivot shower doors. Sliding shower doors are often used in larger shower enclosures.
Walkin Shower Enclosures
Walk In Shower Enclosures – Walk In Shower Enclosures usually exclude a door and allow you to walk in the shower. This is often referred to as the “wetroom look”. Walk In Shower Enclosures are available with a door, deflector panel, flipper panel or flapper panel.
