Awkward space? There's a solution

Sloped ceiling, a window in the shower area, a column in exactly the wrong place? Radaway has documented solutions for approximately 35 non-standard situations — and Bathroom Store will help you match one to your bathroom.

Can a shower enclosure be made for an awkward bathroom?

Yes — in most cases. Radaway made-to-measure enclosures, doors and screens can accommodate sloped ceilings, niches, windows, columns, boxed pipework, uneven walls and unusual room dimensions, subject to a technical assessment of your measurements and photos. Custom cuts, notches and slants are manufactured into fixed glass panels to fit the space precisely.

FAQ

Non-standard showers — your questions answered

Can shower glass be cut to follow a sloped ceiling?

Yes — a slanted cut (WPL) can be manufactured into a fixed glass panel so it follows the ceiling line. Moving door panels cannot be slanted, so the layout is planned around where the slope falls.

Can an enclosure be fitted around a column?

In many cases, yes. Compatible rectangular, half-round or triangular notches can be designed into fixed glass sections, subject to technical assessment of the column's size and position.

What if my walls are not straight?

Measure after tiling, at several heights. Glass and profiles are then specified to absorb the deviation. Send measurements from the top, middle and bottom of the opening.

Can I have a shower where the window is?

Usually yes — fixed panels, the door direction and measurements are planned together so the window still opens and stays protected. Photos and the sill height are the key information we need.

Is there a minimum or maximum size?

Size limits depend on the product series and glass specification. Send your dimensions and we will confirm what is technically possible before you order.

Do awkward layouts cost a lot more?

Every non-standard project is priced individually — the cost depends on the product, glass and modifications required. You receive a full quotation before committing to anything.

Can notches be cut into the door panel?

No. Custom cuts, notches and slants can only be applied to fixed glass elements. Doors remain standard shapes, and we design the layout accordingly.

How do I start if I'm not sure what's possible?

Just send photos of the bathroom, the difficult area and approximate measurements. Our team will review the space and tell you which Radaway solutions may fit — before any commitment.
