This is reinforced by analysing new homes with a number of bathrooms. With more showers than baths installed the UK has quickly evolved into a showering nation.

The discerning UK customer has also become more particular and has higher expectations of their showering experience. Consumers are looking for quality products that offer value for money.

Quality materials, thicker glass, good designs and support services are prerequisites. The details matter, like having top quality components. The rollers on sliding doors, for example, of the best quality ensure the smoothest action, giving high customer satisfaction.

At present, the market is definitely still a case of less is more – glass is the all important material for enclosures and screens, with either stylish or little framework on show. Glass that is straight, curved or angular – any shape – looks stunning. Clean lines and wet rooms are very popular and are the “must haves” of the moment.

And, if you can’t find a shower in the brochures – order a made to measure one. One of the fastest growth areas for retailers at the moment is for bespoke showers.

Showers can be made to fit a specific area, so if just a screen cut to size is wanted or an enclosure with a corner cut off to accommodate a sloping ceiling or a special height enclosure, all you have to do is ask.
