Integrated shower enclosures can be classified based on criteria such as function, shape, and door configuration.
In terms of function, shower enclosures fall into three categories: simple enclosures, integrated shower enclosures, and steam rooms. As defined here, "integrated shower enclosures" do not include steam generation units; products on the market that incorporate steam functions are more accurately classified as steam rooms.
Regarding shape, the bases and enclosures of these units come in various forms, with square, rectangular, circular, and fan-shaped designs being common. As for door configurations, opening mechanisms primarily include double-opening doors, sliding doors, folding doors, pivot doors, and triple-panel sliding doors.
Based on the level of customization, integrated shower enclosures are typically standardized, finished products with fixed specifications or shapes, offering relatively limited customization. Regarding the base type, they are categorized into high-profile bases (which include a built-in tub) and low-profile bases; the tub-style base allows for sitting, making it suitable for households with elderly members or children, whereas the low-profile base offers a more minimalist design.
