This is the framed version of a corner shower enclosure. Two glass sides wrap the shower and meet at an aluminium corner post, with a hinged door in the front panel. The frame gives it a clear black edge, and it handles walls that are not perfectly straight. So it is a good choice in an older bathroom.
When a corner enclosure is the right shape
When the shower sits in a corner and two of its sides are open to the room, instead of running along a single full wall.
Most larger Bengaluru bathrooms are laid out this way. So are many flats where the shower is a marked-off zone with a tray or a stepped floor.
The framed version suits older bathrooms in particular. Where the walls or the corner have moved over the years, the frame takes that up in a way frameless glass cannot.
It is also the more forgiving option if the bathroom is being refreshed rather than fully re-tiled. The frame gives a clean edge against tiling that may not be perfectly even.
What the enclosure is built from
Slim aluminium sections, powder coated in matte black, running at the walls, the floor and up the corner.
The two glass sides are toughened, which is safety glass. The frame holds their edges, so they can usually be thinner than a frameless enclosure needs.
The corner post is what makes this different from the frameless L-shape. It joins the two panels and makes the enclosure stiff. You can see the post, so it is worth knowing that before you order. If you want a corner with no post at all, look at the frameless L-shape instead.
The door is hinged in the front panel and opens outward, with black hinges and handle. A water seal runs along the door edge, and silicone seals both walls and the floor line.
How the enclosure is fitted
Send photos of both open sides and rough sizes. We usually come back the same day with a range.
We measure once your tiling is finished. We check both wall angles, the corner, the slope of the floor towards the drain, and how the glass will reach the bathroom.
You get a written price with the glass, the frame, the fittings and the labour on their own lines. An advance covers the materials, and making it takes about a week.
Fitting is a single day. The frame goes up and is levelled first, because everything else depends on it being straight. Then the glass, then the door, then the sealing. Wait about a day before using the shower.
Why two enclosures at the same rate cost different amounts
Because the rate is per square foot of glass, and two enclosures of the same shape can carry very different amounts of glass and frame.
A taller enclosure has more glass. Two unequal sides have more frame per square foot than two equal ones. And a bathroom with an out-of-square corner needs more careful setting out, which takes longer on site.
The finish matters too. Matte black is our stock colour and adds nothing. A special colour adds cost and a few days for the coating.
The written price shows each of these on its own line. So you can see exactly which part of your enclosure is driving the number.
