Shower enclosures cheap vs expensive

[Trackbacks]

I'm looking for a new quadrant shower enclosures 900 x 900, I've looked at usual websites online and noticed that the quadrants all tend to look the same (silver frame, door etc) but the prices seem to vary a lot across the brands. I assume the cheap ones are cheap because the fittings etc are cheap, I want something mid range something that will last at least 3-5 years can anyone recommend a decent mid range brand, looking to spend between at £180 - £280 for the enclosure without tray.

thanks

I have used 3 of the hydrolux 900mm quadrant showers from plumbworld 164.97. These also come with a slim line tray & waste that for my installations i raised on a wooden frame and then bedded onto cement on top of 18mm ply. Then I used facia board with stainless steel platic nail heads tacked to the frame.

These are in a rented property so not particulary looked after and have stood the test of time well (5 years old). I have had the roller bearings lock up where they have not cleaned properly but these have always been ok after a quick clean and silicon grease.
