As city houses in India get smaller and smaller with rapid urbanisation, modern Indian bathrooms too are evolving quickly. Architects today are faced with immense design challenges of providing complete bathroom solutions with superior space optimisation besides catering to the urban lifestyle needs where the bathroom turns to a “personal space.” Trying to make everything fit in a super small bathroom is like doing a giant crossword puzzle.

Architects in India are therefore, viewing the bathroom even more minutely – by dividing it into three zones – the basin area, the water closet area and the shower area. Being the largest of all, the bathing area is of course the most important. This is the wet zone. It is this place which makes the entire bathroom wet, unhygienic, slippery and dangerous and also requires maximum management. There’s nothing more annoying than entering a wet bathroom and getting your feet soggy and the bathroom dirty. If you are wearing rubber flip-flops or slippers, it can be worse, for you can slip and fall in a wet bathroom.

Therefore, among the challenges: separating the wet and dry areas in a bathroom by restricting the water inside the wet room only; making it safe, bacteria free and hygienic; and turning it into a sanctuary after a hard day’s work in office, is possible by simply configuring a shower glass partition. Once the shower cubicle or shower enclosure is in place, configuring the commode or the toilet and the basin becomes easier.

Bathroom enclosure has become an integral part of the modern bathrooms today. Besides serving the functional purpose of keeping the bathroom dry and bringing in hygiene and safety almost instantly after installing, these enclosures for bathroom give elegance and style to it. These glass shower enclosures take the aesthetic of the bathroom to the next level.
