Hardware and Fittings

The answer depends on the bathroom conditions. A shower enclosure is available in various designs, and choosing the right model depends on several factors, including:

• Bathroom size and layout
• Number and location of floor drains
• Wall-mounted or concealed faucets
• Distance between shower fixtures, sink, and toilet
• Bathroom height
• Ventilation and fan placement
• Location of bathroom accessories and equipment
• Air conditioning system layout
• Bathroom design style
• Entrance door position and opening direction
• And other technical and aesthetic considerations

For example, in small bathrooms, a fixed glass divider may be a better choice than a full shower enclosure to prevent water splashing onto the toilet and sink area. In other compact spaces, a two-panel sliding shower enclosure can provide better functionality by saving opening space.

Therefore, the best shower enclosure model should be selected after evaluating the actual bathroom conditions and layout. Arian Jam’s specialists can help you choose the most suitable solution based on your space and requirements.

Because the shower enclosure area is separated from the rest of the bathroom, a separate drainage system is usually used inside the glass shower enclosure.

Typically, a stone threshold is installed on the bathroom floor. This acts as a low barrier with an approximate cross-section of 10 × 10 cm, functioning as a base structure that prevents water from flowing into other areas.

In some cases, a stainless steel U-channel profile is installed beneath the glass panels to prevent water from passing under the glass.

There are also various types of shower trays (shower bases) available in the market, which act as the lower base of the shower enclosure and help prevent water leakage into other parts of the bathroom. These trays are commonly made from fiberglass.

In the design and manufacturing of shower enclosures, there is a wide variety of glass options available. However, many people assume that only clear glass is used in these systems.

Clear glass is one of the most common choices for shower enclosures, but many other types of glass can also be used, including:

• Double-layer 5 mm laminated tempered colored glass
• Lacquered glass (Lacobel)
• Transparent glass
• Satin glass
• Sandblasted glass

The glass panels used in shower enclosures are typically made of 10 mm tempered safety glass.

Arian Jam has the capability to design and install shower enclosures using all the mentioned glass types, allowing customers to choose the most suitable option based on their design preferences and privacy requirements.

Can a smart glass shower enclosure be installed?

Yes. A smart glass shower enclosure is one of the advanced types of shower enclosures and is already being implemented in Iran and the Middle East.

In smart shower enclosures, TetraGlass smart glass is used, which has high resistance against water and humidity. These glasses are also laminated safety glasses, consisting of two layers of 5 mm tempered glass.

In this system, the laminated glass is combined with PVB film and smart glass technology, allowing users to change the glass from transparent to frosted (opaque) using a remote control or an on/off switch through an inverter system.

This feature provides greater privacy: when a person is taking a shower inside the enclosure, they can switch the glass to a frosted mode, allowing other people to use the bathroom facilities, such as the sink or toilet area, without visibility into the shower space.

Arian Jam offers the design and installation of smart glass shower enclosures with modern solutions for luxury residential and commercial projects.
