DreamLine Visions Alcove Shower Kit

This shower kit that features dual sliding glass panel doors earns kudos for its innovative design from both those who are tight on space in their bathrooms and those that need a wider entryway into and out of the shower. The walk-in shower leaves plenty of room to add your own bench plus the low-threshold design is easy for anyone who needs a bit of extra space to navigate. The trim of the semi-frameless design is made of anodized aluminum that can be adjusted up to 1-inch per side; reviewers note that it's easy to install with the help of one other person. The kit comes with the shower door and left drain base plus hardware.

A&E Jana Framed Shower

You'll feel like you're staying in a luxe boutique hotel when you step inside this luxurious shower. The 0.25-inch thick tempered glass offers a nice, substantial heft and hand feel as you open and close the smooth pivoting shower doors. The windowpane style has an anodized aluminum frame with a matte black finish that looks modern and sophisticated. The magnetic door seals to help keep the glass panels in place and prevent any leaking, while the acrylic base has a low 2.5-inch threshold for an easy entry and exit. The kit includes the clear glass shower door and panels, aluminum profiles, white corner shower base, and shower drain.

Jade Bath Rectangle Shower

Carry your farmhouse style right on into your bathroom with this sliding shower door. The 8 mm clear tempered glass sides are edged with matte black hardware, a signature farmhouse accent. The door, which can be positioned to open on the left or the right, slides open on a barn door-inspired track along the top edge. The frameless rectangular enclosure measures 48 x 79.75 inches. This kit comes with the shower base with space for the drain in the center (it's not included), door, and side panel—the only thing missing is the subway tile.

Veritek Alcove Shower Kit

With a shower wall featuring a tile pattern and two frameless by-pass shower doors with 0.25-inch thick clear glass, this shower kit is as classic as it gets. The shower is made of durable Veritek with a molded-in soap dish. It has no coating, which means you don't have to worry about the surface coating chipping or cracking and the color is solid throughout. The shower floor offers a slip-resistant surface and the doors have towel bars, another nice space-saving feature. The kit includes the shower door, back wall panel, two corner panels, two side panels, shower floor, and drain cover.

Ariel Steam Shower Kit

Turn your shower into a relaxing spa with this all-in-one steam shower kit that replaces a typical size bathtub. In homes with a 6kW generator, it starts to produce steam in under one minute; it's easy to control how hot it gets via the built-in digital control panel, plus heating limiters that ensure you'll never get burned. The unit functions as a steam shower, rain shower, regular shower, or handheld shower and comes with mood lighting, a clock, FM radio, and an aromatherapy reservoir so you can enjoy your favorite essential oils while taking a steam shower. When it's time to clean it, simply pour your preferred cleaning product into the cleaning port. Note that reviewers say that with all the different functionalities it's a must to have this one installed by professionals.

Sterling Curve Shower Kit

Anyone who shares a bathroom, be it with a roommate, partner, or children, will benefit from this shower wall with plenty of built-in shelving—there's even a shaving ledge/footrest for balance. There's a low threshold for entry, though not so low that any water will splash on your bathroom floor. The curved alcove-style wall and base are made of solid Virkell, which is known to be strong and durable while offering a high-gloss finish that's smooth, shiny, and easy to clean. The tongue-and-groove four-piece modular design is easy to snap together during installation and the drain is on the left side.

Ove Decors Breeze Shower Kit

When you're tight on space, a corner shower kit is your best option for making the most of a small bathroom. This one from Ove features a rounded door to maximize room without any uncomfortable angles; though some reviewers note it makes for a small shower space once you're inside. The tempered 6 mm thick glass door is reversible and the kit also includes the door hardware, acrylic walls, and acrylic base. Countless reviewers rave about the quality and while some say the direct to stud installation was easy to DIY, others note that had to seek out How-To videos or have a plumber install.
