A Curved Corner That Actually Gives You More Room

A Curved Corner That Actually Gives You More Room

Square shower trays have a way of eating into a bathroom's one awkward corner, leaving barely enough space to turn around. Royal Bathrooms' Chelsea Offset Quadrant takes the standard quadrant shape and stretches it asymmetrically, so the corner slot that used to feel cramped suddenly has real showering space in it.

An offset shape that isn't just a marketing word

Unlike a standard symmetrical quadrant, the offset design is genuinely asymmetrical — one side extends further than the other — which is what gives this enclosure meaningfully more floor space than a same-footprint square quadrant, without needing a bigger corner to work with.

8mm toughened glass, not the thinner standard

The enclosure uses 8mm toughened safety glass rather than the more common 6mm found on budget enclosures — a tangible difference in how solid the door feels when it slides, and in how resistant the glass is to flexing over years of daily use.

A magnetic seal instead of a rubber strip alone

The sliding door closes with a secure magnetic closure, which does more to stop water escaping at the seam than a basic rubber gasket, especially once that gasket starts to wear down after a couple of years of use.

Double rollers for a door that still glides smoothly

The sliding mechanism runs on double rollers rather than a single-roller track, which matters more than it sounds — it's the detail that decides whether the door still glides quietly a few years in, or starts sticking and rattling in its track.

A gun metal grey finish built for a specific look

Beyond the more common chrome and matt black options, this finish is specifically gun metal grey — a darker, more industrial metallic tone that reads differently under bathroom lighting than either chrome's brightness or matt black's flatness, and pairs particularly well against lighter stone or marble-effect tiling.

Sized to actually contain the spray

At 1950mm tall, the enclosure is built to a height that keeps splashback and steam properly contained within the shower area, rather than the shorter screens that let water escape over the top edge during a normal shower.

Who It Suits

This enclosure suits anyone renovating a bathroom with an awkward corner who wants more actual showering room than a standard quadrant provides in the same footprint. Its gun metal grey finish also makes it a strong pick for a more contemporary, industrial-leaning bathroom look rather than the more traditional chrome or stark matt black options. \\Shop the Chelsea Offset Quadrant Shower Enclosure at Royal Bathrooms —
