Which shower stall is best for the bathroom?
The architects say that this step depends on the project. for Gabriela, "the size of the space influences a lot on the choice". besides the material, it is necessary to consider the access to the shower - "if the space is too small it is important to look for a box with 3 sliding leaves, a flex option, which has a large door and opens completely, or even the simplest of all which is the opening box", she says.Gabriela says that if there is a window in the shower area, it indicates the shower stall up to the ceiling.
Danielle describes that the glass box is the most common in the market and offers "easier cleaning and maintenance", besides being a more resistant and safer option. This model can be transparent, frosted or decorated. About the acrylic box, the architect Danielle describes it as "light, easy to install" and resistant to impacts, "but it can scratch easily and has a less resistant appearance".The PVC box is also light and resistant to humidity: "it is the most economical option, but it doesn't always look good," concludes the professional.

Which bathroom box is the cheapest?
Gabriela says that the "cheapest" glass bathroom stall is the "standard height" opening model.
What can replace the bathroom box?
Danielle says that "one alternative is to use a bathroom curtain, but this piece is not intended to seal the shower space with quality". Another way is to "make the complete shower stall, that is, what we call the bulkhead, which is a glass fixed only in the shower area and leave the rest of the gapWhen the bathroom is open, it looks like a country house, but it has the downside of making the bathroom a little wetter when it's time for a bath," explains Gabriela.
What are the main types of glass for the bathroom shower stall? And which is the most cost-effective?
"The most widespread type is tempered glass, so it has the best cost-benefit ratio. This type is heat-treated and thus more resistant to impact and breakage than ordinary glass, which makes it a safe option for use in bathrooms," says Danielle. For those who have children or elderly people at home, architect Martins recommends laminated glass, which is "composed of two or more layersIn addition, there are different decorative types of glass, such as fluted glass.
