Small Bathroom Layouts – The Coram Shower Solution

So you want to replace your aging bath with the brand-new, beautiful, spacious, money-saving shower enclosure that you’ve been dreaming of. Except you can’t, because there’s not enough space, or there’s a window in the way. Across the UK, there are countless repeats of this situation – owing to the tendency in this country towards compact bathrooms, apparently built almost as an afterthought around existing rooms. Coram Showers design and manufactured their showers in the UK, meaning that a Coram shower is built from start to finish with British bathrooms in mind.

The picture below is an archetypal example of the problem:

Before		After

A standard corner enclosure just wouldn’t work in this bathroom because of the presence of the window; an enclosure installed anywhere else would appear clumsy and make inefficient use of space.

Thankfully, there is a solution. A Coram Shower.

The Coram Shower Optima Double Slider enclosure is an ideal large enclosure to replace a bath in a compact bathroom. Available in widths of either 1500mm or 1700mm, the doors can be fitted onto a slimline shower tray with matching side panels to create a showering area that is both spacious and space-efficient – making this Coram shower the ideal solution for smaller bathrooms.

Comprising of two fixed panels and two glass sliding doors, the Coram shower enclosure can be built into a corner with one side panel (as above), in a freestanding situation with two side panels, or into a wide alcove as the door alone.

The excellent build quality that a Coram Shower is known for ensures maximum strength and durability, and a smooth, silent gliding door mechanism. If you’ve been looking to replace your bath with a more convenient shower, then the Coram Shower Optima Double Slider enclosure may be the solution you’ve been looking for.

Making the most of a Compact Bathroom with a Coram Shower Enclosure

Does this bathroom resemble yours in terms of size and space? Are you interested in replacing your bath with a shower enclosure but are finding it difficult to make room? Then a Bow Front Coram Shower enclosure may be the solution. It’s a dream for many people to be able to install a shower in the place of a bath – they are, after all, more convenient, use significantly less water, and are arguably more aesthetically attractive. However, because bathrooms in the UK tend to be small and awkward spaces – often converted from other available spaces or tacked on as extensions – the installation of a standard shower enclosure becomes an impossibility. Coram Shower enclosures are designed and built in the UK, so they understand the problems associated with British bathrooms perhaps more than anyone.

The picture above is a classic example of the age-old problem. The bath extends out from the wall further than the window, as is necessary for a comfortable bathing space, but this does not present a problem as the bath is nowhere near tall enough to interfere with the window. A traditional Coram shower enclosure installed in the same corner would overlap with the window, making extensive renovation necessary; the time and money required to carry this out makes it a project that few would consider feasible.

If you’ve found yourself in a similar situation, a Premier Bow Front Coram Shower Enclosure may be the right shower for your bathroom.

This aerial view makes it easy to see the distinctive bow-shaped Coram shower design. 850mm deep at the centre but only 550mm at the sides, the enclosure provides a large showering area whilst also offering the versatility required to install around fixtures and fittings.

In the example above, you can see clearly how the bow-fronted Coram shower fits snugly into the corner without disturbing the window at all. It even opens up the floor space and allows the installation of a heated towel rail next to the basin. No costly renovation is required, and with the money-saving potential of a shower compared to a bath, investing in a bow front Coram shower enclosure could be a very wise move indeed.

With Coram Showers’ reputation for excellent build quality, you can expect tough glass, durable metalwork and an elegant gliding door mechanism that will last for years to come.
