Shower enclosure

My head is spinning with the amount of choice.
Could anyone recommend a sliding door shower enclosure with a side panel. I currently have the Simpsons Crosswater and the April prestige frameless in my basket. I was about to purchase the April but it has really bad online reviews. Can anyone recommend the Simpsons? Or any other recommendations? Before I completely lose the will.

If I was choosing, I would actually want to see these enclosures. How sturdy are they? How thick is the glass? Are they plastic or actual glass! How well is the sliding mechanism made and is it smooth? Will it last? I’ve several with a hinged door but not sliding. DD has a sliding door on her en-suite and it’s not great. Could you have a decent glass panel and hinged door?

See that is the problem I have been to several showrooms and due to limited space noone has these enclosures on site. Ideally want a 8mm glass frameless or at least semi frameless, with a smooth sliding mechanism, 1400 x 900. Matki are over budget, Kudos not keen on the non existent handle and Merlyn series 8 I have been told is ok. So that leaves me with the Simpsons, but want to hear if anyone has this and can recommend.

Hi, we have a bathroom showroom and actually have the Simpson's one in. It's miles better than the April one, which has a cheaper 'feel' to it and not a great sliding mechanism. The simpsons one is fab! Depending on your buget other ones I'd recommend (going up the scale) are Matki, Kudos or Merlyn.

Sorry just seen your comment about not using those 3 brands! 😂 in that case the simpsons is the best quality for that price range.

Timetodance, Thank you! Just the info I needed, mind made up now! Simpsons' it is.

Timetodance, I also need a bifold door 800mm for ensuite. Any you would recommend?

The Crosswater (same make as Simpson's) edge bifold is probably your best bet for these. Also have a look at infold doors. (Much easier to clean) 😆
