Design Your Perfect Traditional Shower Enclosure with Classique

Showering is no longer a purely functional exercise. It now plays an important role in wellness routines, being seen as a tranquil experience that refreshes the mind as much as the body. Bringing modern-day wellness practices into a traditional bathroom design combines serenity and sophistication for a truly luxurious bathroom experience.

Our Classique shower enclosure range perfectly encapsulates the elegance of traditional eras of design, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into any traditional bathroom design. Its delicately rounded frame draws inspiration from early elevator shaft design creating a perfect connection between historical styles and more contemporary eras.

Discover how to bring the beauty of Classique shower enclosures into your traditional bathroom and start designing your perfect shower escape… 

Step 1: Choose Your Configuration

The first step to any design is knowing how to use your space. Consider the layout of your bathroom, who will be using the shower and the style you want to achieve. This will help you identify your shower configuration.

Classique shower enclosures come in both recessed and corner styles, allowing you to make the best use of the space you have available. The most common configuration, a corner shower can be added to almost any bathroom layout. With a number of size options available for both the door and the side panel, create a corner shower that both fits the size of your bathroom and accommodates the users.

For a corner shower that saves on space but doesn’t compromise on elegance, opt for a quadrant shower. This curved design reduces the floor space used while still providing plenty of room within the enclosure.

Tucked into three solid walls, recessed showers create a truly opulent design and allow for a more open bathroom space. With doors available for both small and large enclosures, achieve a relaxing nook in your traditional bathroom with a recessed design. 

Step 2: Choose Your Door 

A showering experience starts the moment your hand touches the handle. That’s why Classique offers two door options, to both ensure the perfect experience is created for the user and to accommodate different bathroom layouts.

The first option is a hinged door. The excellent hinge design along with the soft close mechanism prevents any damage to the frame throughout use and keeps a peaceful bathroom environment by reducing harsh noises. Classique hinged doors are available in three sizes: 800, 900 and 1000, making this option suitable for both compact and larger enclosures alike.

The Classique showering range also provides a sliding door option. Removing the need for space for the extension of a door into the room, a sliding door provides a fantastic solution for all bathroom layouts. The quality rail design and the soft close mechanism provide smooth operation. Available in larger sizes - 1200, 1400, and 1700 - opting for a sliding door creates a more spacious shower enclosure perfect for larger or family bathrooms. 

Step 3: Choose Your Colour

The beauty of the Classique showering range is that it provides opportunities for personalisation, allowing you to create the perfect enclosure for your taste and the traditional style you have chosen for your bathroom.

Classique is available in three stunning finishes: Chrome, for a bright shimmer in your bathroom; Brushed Nickel, for a truly traditional aesthetic; and Gold, for an air of regality. These finishes perfectly colour match Burlington brassware and accessories for a fully coordinated bathroom design. 

Step 4: Choose Your Handles and Finials

Classique can also be personalised through the selection of your handle and finial design. The handles and finials offered by this range create an elegant and sophisticated finish to your shower enclosure.

For a classical Victorian or Edwardian bathroom design, opt for the 1850 style. Featuring a perfectly rounded design finished with a striking circular ball, this style harmonises perfectly with our traditional towel warmers, accessories and 1850 mirror fixings. Alternatively, opt for the 1909 style for a more contemporary take on a traditional design. The subtle knurling detail found in this design makes this handle and finial perfectly integrate with our Guild collection and 1909 mirror fixings.

Coming as a set of two finials and a handle, achieve an opulent traditional design on your shower profile. If you have selected a corner shower enclosure, an additional single finial can be purchased to complete all three exposed corners. 

Step 5: Complete Your Shower Design

Once you have designed your perfect Classique enclosure, complete your shower design with our selection of showering brassware in matching finishes and shower trays.
