A custom shower enclosure is one of the most effective ways to upgrade a bathroom – and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Whether you choose swing or sliding, framed or frameless, the price comes down to the glass, hardware and size, and a fair quote from a specialist keeps it affordable. Here’s a look at the main types and how to get good value on installation in Dubai.
Swing shower enclosures
Swing (hinged) enclosures are the most common and a reliable choice, opening inward or outward with minimal fuss. They come in two forms:
- Framed – an aluminium profile holds the glass and the door swings on hinges; sturdy and cost-effective.
- Frameless – fitted with U-brackets or patch fittings for a cleaner, more premium look.
Choosing between them isn’t always obvious without technical knowledge, so we assess your bathroom size, layout and interior and recommend the best option.
Sliding shower enclosures
A sliding enclosure opens by sliding to one side, needing no clearance for a swinging door – which makes it ideal where space is tight. It’s a stylish, space-efficient option that keeps any bathroom looking good. See our detailed sliding shower enclosure guide, or compare the two in our sliding vs swing comparison.
Getting an affordable enclosure
Affordable doesn’t mean cheapest. The best value is quality tempered glass and a proper installation at a fair price – a bargain enclosure that leaks or needs redoing costs more in the end. As a customised glass company, we build the design you want and quote it clearly. Because enclosures are made to measure, a free on-site survey gives the most accurate price.
