The three-sided glass enclosure in our West End bathroom in Aberdeen gives the shower a distinct outline alongside the wall-hung vanity and illuminated mirrors. A three-sided arrangement has more than one return to consider. The side facing the room may look right while a shorter return meets the wall or neighbouring furniture in a less useful place.
We start by drawing the complete enclosure, including the glass lines and how each side meets the tray or shower floor. Compare where the returns end with where you need to reach the enclosure for ordinary wiping. Take a view from the basin as well, because a return may sit directly in that sightline. Agreeing all the sides together helps you evaluate how the enclosure belongs in the room, instead of deciding from a front view alone.
