How to Choose a Shower Enclosure: Complete Buyer's Guide Lithuania 2026

5 July 2026

Choosing the wrong shower enclosure is an expensive mistake — it affects bathroom function, appearance, and cleaning effort every day. This guide helps you choose confidently based on your bathroom dimensions, preferences, and budget.

Step 1: Measure Your Bathroom

Before choosing a type, you need to know your available shower zone. Common configurations: 80x80 cm minimum for a corner enclosure. 90x120 cm recommended for a walk-in panel (no door needed at 90 cm width). 90x90 cm standard for most sliding door units.

Step 2: Choose Your Enclosure Type

Walk-in shower panels — best for modern, minimalist bathrooms with adequate space. No door mechanism needed; easiest to clean. Requires bathroom layout that prevents water splashing. Prices from EUR 180.

Sliding door enclosures — best for standard Lithuanian apartments where swinging door space is limited. Space-efficient. Slightly more maintenance on the track. Prices from EUR 350.

Corner enclosures (hinged door) — best for smaller bathrooms where a shower zone is defined in a corner. Most versatile option. Prices from EUR 420.

Step 3: Choose Glass Thickness

6 mm tempered glass — standard, suitable for most residential applications. 8 mm tempered glass — more rigid, better for larger panels or frameless designs. 10 mm tempered glass — for walk-in panels without side support, or commercial use. All glass must meet EN 12150 (tempered) or EN ISO 12543 (laminated VSG) standards.

Step 4: Clear vs Frosted Glass

Clear glass: maximum light transmission, easier to spot water spots (more cleaning), no privacy. Frosted (sandblasted): transmits diffused light, provides privacy, requires same cleaning routine as clear. Nano Easy-Clean coating: highly recommended for Lithuania's hard water areas — reduces limescale adhesion by 80%.

Step 5: Hardware and Hinges

Chrome or brushed chrome: most common, matches most bathroom fixtures. Matt black: increasingly popular for modern interiors. Brushed gold/brass: premium look for luxury bathrooms. All our hardware is made of 304-grade stainless steel with 5-year warranty.

— Frequently asked questions

FAQs about this guide

What shower enclosure is easiest to clean?
Walk-in panels (no door) have the fewest joints and no tracks to clean. With a nano Easy-Clean coating, glass needs only a quick squeegee after showering.
Can I have a frameless shower enclosure in a small bathroom?
Yes — frameless walk-in panels work in bathroom spaces as small as 80x100 cm shower zones. We recommend 8-10 mm glass for panels without framing on the sides.
How long does shower enclosure installation take?
Walk-in panel: 1-2 hours. Full corner enclosure: 3-5 hours. We schedule installation immediately after manufacturing (10-15 business days).
What is the difference between a walk-in panel and a wetroom?
A wetroom has no threshold — water drains freely across the entire floor. A walk-in shower has a defined shower zone, usually with a low-profile tray. Walk-in enclosures are simpler to install; wetrooms require waterproofing the entire floor.
Do I need a shower tray with a walk-in enclosure?
Not necessarily — walk-in panels can be combined with a wet-floor drain. However, for most Lithuanian apartments, a shallow tray (height 2-3 cm) simplifies waterproofing considerably.
