Shower Enclosures for B2B Sourcing
Seven buyer-facing directions: sliding, hinged and pivot, folding, walk-in screens, corner and quadrant, frameless, and project custom. Enclosures in this range are produced at our own base in Foshan, so the opening mechanism, glass, profile and hardware are specified against one production record rather than assembled from separate suppliers.
Shower enclosure types
Shower Enclosure Types
Choose by how the door opens, how the glass is supported and how the enclosure meets the room. Opening mechanism is the decision that constrains everything after it.
01
Sliding Door Shower Enclosures
Bypass, three-panel and fixed-panel running gear for openings where a swinging door has no clearance.
02Hinged & Pivot Door Shower Enclosures
Inline, twin-door and corner pivot arrangements where the swing path and floor finish are confirmed.
03Folding Door Shower Enclosures
Bi-fold and infold panels that reduce the door swing in compact bathrooms and guest rooms.
04Walk-In Shower Screens
Single fixed panels and return-panel screens for open shower areas and wet rooms.
05Corner & Quadrant Shower Enclosures
Quadrant, offset quadrant and corner entry layouts for rooms where the shower sits in a corner.
06Frameless Shower Enclosures
Minimal-hardware glass across hinged, sliding and walk-in configurations, reviewed for support and fixing.
07Custom Shower Enclosures
Drawing-based panels, angles, finishes and branding for project openings that no standard size fits.

B2B coordination
B2B Project Support
WNS Global organizes enclosure information so a quotation can be written against one configuration rather than a general product family.
- Opening reviewMatch the room opening to a workable configuration.
- Panel scheduleOrganize glass sizes, thickness and edge treatment.
- Hardware listConfirm rollers, hinges, seals and finish.
- Quotation inputsIdentify the commercial details still missing.
- Room scheduleSeparate repeated bathroom types and quantities.
- Export packingCoordinate glass protection and crate arrangement.
For multi-unit projects, provide room types, opening dimensions, handing, finish schedules, quantities and phased delivery requirements. Commercial and delivery conditions remain subject to confirmation.
Custom development
OEM / ODM Customization
Custom enclosures depend on the opening, glass size and thickness, profile section, hardware, quantity and production feasibility. Non-standard angles and oversized panels are reviewed before they are quoted.
Panel Configuration
Dimensions, angles, fixed and moving panels, and return screens.
Glass and Profile
Thickness, treatment, edge finish, profile section and visible metal finish.
Branding and Packing
Hardware finish sets, printed or etched marks, cartons and labeling.
A reference image is not a complete specification. Opening drawings, glass schedules, hardware lists, tolerances and approval samples should be confirmed before production.
Product-level review
Quality Control and Compliance
Shower enclosure quality should be checked against the approved panel and hardware schedule. Documentation varies by glass type, configuration and destination market.
- Check panel dimensions against the opening drawing
- Test door movement, rollers, hinges and stop positions
- Review glass edges, drilling and surface condition
- Confirm profile alignment, seals and wall channels
- Verify component completeness and glass packing
Glass standards and destination-market documents must be verified against the exact glass specification and target country before any compliance claim is made.

Product definition
What Is a Shower Enclosure?
A shower enclosure is the glass and hardware assembly that separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom. Depending on the product it may include fixed panels, a moving door, profiles or channels, hinges or running gear, seals, handles and a tray or floor interface.
The term does not mean every part is included. Confirm the panels, profiles, hardware, seals, tray and installation scope separately, and confirm who is responsible for the waterproofing behind them.

Side-by-side review
Shower Enclosure Comparison
Compare opening mechanism, framing, glass support and supply format without assuming unsupported performance differences.
| Topic | Option A | Option B |
|---|---|---|
| Opening | Sliding: no swing path, runs on the opening width | Hinged: needs clear swing space outside the shower |
| Framing | Framed: profile carries the glass, wider tolerance | Frameless: hardware carries the glass, tighter tolerance |
| Access | Folding: reduced door swing in compact rooms | Walk-in: no door, drainage and splash set the layout |
| Supply | Standard configuration: stated sizes and components | Custom enclosure: approved drawings and feasibility |

- Confirm tray, upstand or waterproofed floor
- Decide the door handing and swing or slide path
Product and Supply
- State glass thickness, treatment and edge finish
- List profiles, hardware, seals and visible finish
- Define who installs and who waterproofs
- State quantity and destination market
