Bathroom furniture like vanity units, towel heaters, and toilets can block entryways, making design more challenging. Loft ceilings that slope under the eaves also require special attention for shower designs. You might need to place the custom shower screen partially over a bath. Our bespoke service helps you achieve the design you pictured, which works in your bathroom.
Our bespoke service ensures your design vision becomes a reality in your bathroom. Unlike online suppliers that sell standard shower enclosure sets, we create glass that perfectly fits your space. We take the imperfections of your bathroom into account to make the glass follow your walls and layout seamlessly. You can adjust any part of the design to make it truly yours, which is the essence of bespoke shower glass.
Over half of the bathroom walls and floors we inspect are over 5mm off level. Walls like these need made-to-measure shower screens, particularly frameless ones. Thicker wall mastic can mould rapidly and may become visually unappealing. We ensure the gaps in our bespoke glass shower screens follow the unique shape of your walls.
Using ready-made rectangular glass doors on uneven walls poses a greater risk. Our bespoke shower doors fit the openings perfectly, aligning with the wall levels and tray line. The shower door PVC seals on the perimeter are flexible, but only to a certain extent. If the door is not of the correct dimensions, there is a risk of water leakage, which may result in damage.
If your bath features a tiled wall that overlaps the tray, we can integrate it into the design. We will shape the glass to fit around the bath and make it part of the shower. You can choose to have the glass installed flush with the bath or set deeper onto the tub. This option allows us to create a shelf or a seat in the shower area.
Vanity units or half-walls frequently connect directly to the shower glass, leaving no gap in between. However, this setup can trap water and dirt on the shower glass surface. To resolve this issue, we can paint the front face of the shower glass to match the shape. Afterwards, we'll seal the pained shape so the painted area stays neat and looks great while you enjoy your shower.
Loft conversions often feature bathrooms that come with sloped ceilings, which can limit where you place the shower. When dealing with under-eaves shower enclosures, achieving the right fit is crucial. The shape of the glass at the top needs to match perfectly, making a bespoke shower enclosure nearly essential in these spaces.
An under-eaves shower enclosure needs a precise shape to work effectively. Custom shower doors or screens are essential when standard options are insufficient. Tailoring these elements for your loft can help blend style with function. You can enjoy your unique bathroom space without compromising with the right design.
Our bespoke shower glass production focuses on functionality while ensuring aesthetic appeal and elegance. We aim to dilute our shower with the design of your bathroom by following its layout, lines and finishes. For example, align the glass panels with your tile grouts or match the hinges to the taps in your bathroom. We offer a wide range of tailored options with competitive prices.
These days, custom sizes and finishes are often available, but we take it a step further. Consider our bespoke-made glass, frames, and unique shower layouts. Instead of standard polished edges, opt for a sleek frame for your hinged door. We can even melt glass into any pattern or laminate it with metal or mesh for a striking look.
A supplier's most straightforward task is making toughened glass according to your size and providing hinges and handles. However, installation and planning are the most complicated and vital aspects of bespoke shower screens and doors. The wrong choice of wall fixtures, appropriate mastic, drill bits, or glass handling can lead to damage and leakages.
Custom shower screens need precise measurements and careful planning. Consider the implications if the production fails to fulfil the exact sizes. Could the design be better suited to your space? If non-experts handle the installation, you risk ending up with a setup that could leak or even shatter over time.
Select Caledora for your shower screen requirements. We manage every step of the process. When you buy from us, you receive fully installed screens, doors, or enclosures as a complete product. You can trust us to deliver quality and reliability.
We need to conduct a site survey before starting the project. Even with ongoing refurbishment or bare walls, visiting the site is essential. This visit allows us to gather rough details and ensure we can bring the glass panels into the room.
We will assign you a product designer to create a design that meets your needs. You can expect a 3D mockup that helps you see your project's most important details and requirements. This visual will help you understand what your final product will look like.
The approved design will guide our workshop drawings for production. If you start with a fixed shower screen, feel free to switch to a shower enclosure during the design phase. Therefore, the confirmed design is of significant importance to us.
Installing a frameless shower enclosure takes a full working day, while the black-grid design may need two days. We'll schedule a time that works best for you, usually starting in the morning before 10 a.m. Our skilled fitters focus on careful installation to avoid any damage.
At Caledora, we understand that your shower should be a true reflection of your personal style. That's why we offer limitless options for your shower enclosure. You can pick from a wide range of glass options, including different shapes, thicknesses, finishes, and textures. Choose your favourite hardware and even create custom colours to match your vision.
Our team will help you design your dream shower, whether you lean toward minimalist elegance or cosy traditional designs. We adapt to any bathroom layout, using top-quality materials and skilled craftspeople. When choosing Caledora, you invest in a stunning, lasting shower that reflects your taste and needs. Enjoy a unique and tailored experience like no other.
Regarding bespoke-sized glass, our limits depend on your imagination, the sheet sizes, and some toughening process restrictions. Ultimately, we can produce any shape for glass panels used in our shower screens and doors.
We typically use 10mm thick glass for our frameless options. This thickness can come in clear, Optiwhite (purified clear), tinted, or frosted styles. We use the same types for framed options, but we can also include reeded or textured glass and laminated glass.
If none of the standard options meet your needs, we can laminate metal shapes or mesh inside the glass. Laminating also lets you achieve any colour by using coloured filters. If that still doesn't satisfy you, we can melt a custom texture onto the glass according to your design.
We always apply an "easy clean coating" to the glass surface of showers at no extra charge. This hydrophobic solution effectively repels water and other contaminants. It helps prevent limescale, soap marks, and other issues caused by hard water.
Choosing between framed and frameless shower enclosures is a key design decision. Both offer unique benefits, and at Caledora, we specialise in crafting bespoke solutions for each. Explore the distinct advantages of our frameless and framed options below to find the perfect fit for your bathroom.
Frameless hinged and sliding shower enclosures offer a cost-effective choice for any shower. Their simple production and installation make them appealing for various designs. These solutions easily adapt to different bathroom shapes without a perimeter frame, providing a seamless look.
When designing frameless bespoke shower screens, we focus on achieving a truly frameless look. We minimise unnecessary fixtures and seek options that make any hardware less noticeable. Some features can fit seamlessly into the wall, while others can match the finish of your showerhead for a cohesive look.
Looking for a modern and practical solution for your shower? Consider our bespoke framed screens and doors. These options keep seals, mastic, and fixtures neatly inside the frame. In addition, the small hinges blend seamlessly into the design, making the door's frame look clean and stylish.
Framed options excel at keeping water contained compared to their frameless counterparts. You can also choose any glass in these frames, allowing you to customise your shower. With our framed solutions, you can enjoy both functionality and design in your bathroom.
When selecting a frameless door, you can pick from a variety of hinges, knobs, handles, and towel rails. We offer most of these in 24 standard finishes, and if you need something special, we can create bespoke colours for you.
Our framed doors start with a black base finish, but we also provide other finishes like bronze, brass, and nickel. You can even choose an unlacquered brass frame if you prefer a more traditional British design.
In addition to standard shapes, we utilise CNC machining to create custom designs that fit your design. This allows you to have a door or enclosure that truly reflects your personal style.
We have several custom methods for securely attaching fixed shower screen panels to walls. Our designers carefully choose the best option for each project and explain their reasoning to clients. During this process, we consider various factors like glass size and type, as well as any moving parts. We also assess the adjacent surfaces to ensure everything fits well.
This meticulous planning helps us find the most effective attachment method while minimising extra components. We aim to avoid reinforcement bars whenever possible because they can disrupt the sleek appearance of the screen. We aim to design a seamless and elegant feature that enhances your bathroom's overall look.
One method we use is wall brackets, which are sturdy metal fixtures measuring about 50mm x 50mm. They clamp securely around the glass on both sides before attaching it to the wall with a screw. We maintain a small 2-3mm gap between the glass and the wall, sealing it with anti-fungal sealant to prevent leaks. Wall brackets offer a strong and discreet hold for the shower screen.
Another popular option is U-channels, which act as long, thin supports for the glass. They fit snugly against the walls while we apply mastic to seal the space between the wall and the profile. This method stops water leaks and conceals the sealant, ensuring a polished, clean appearance. We carefully choose the finish of the U-channel to align perfectly with your bathroom's overall style.
