Pentagonal Enclosures
Pentagonal Enclosures
Pentagonal shower enclosures at Envy Bathrooms are five‑sided designs created to maximise space in tighter or awkward bathroom layouts, offering a smart alternative to square or rectangular enclosures. Their angled shape fits neatly into a corner while providing a wider entry area and a comfortable internal space, making them ideal for small bathrooms or en‑suites where efficient planning matters. Most pentagonal enclosures feature pivot or hinged doors thanks to their flat front, giving a generous opening that enhances accessibility. Quality models typically use toughened safety glass and easy‑clean coatings to reduce maintenance and keep the enclosure looking clear. Available in popular sizes such as 900 × 900mm and 1000 × 1000mm, they offer flexibility for different room dimensions. Before choosing, check the footprint of your corner, confirm tray compatibility and select a finish that complements your bathroom style. Envy Bathrooms provides a curated range focused on practicality, durability and modern geometric design.
