Shower Enclosure Calculator

Shower Enclosure Calculator

Pick your enclosure type, footprint and glass height and get the glass panel area and an indicative ₹ cost split across glass, hardware and labour — plus a 900×900 comfort check. Indicative India 2026; always confirm with a local fabricator.

Your enclosure

Always use toughened (tempered) safety glass — IS 2553 / EN 12150 — for every shower panel; it shatters into blunt granules, not shards. Use 10–12 mm for tall frameless panels and 8 mm for framed or short bath screens. Rates are glass supply only; add cut-outs, drilling and holdbacks locally.

Estimates are indicative for India 2026 and cover clear toughened glass, a typical hardware kit and fitting labour only. Actual quotes vary with brand, edge polishing, cut-outs, tinted or frosted glass, tile-line adjustments and city rates. Always insist on IS 2553 / EN 12150 toughened safety glass, confirm exact panel sizes on site after tiling, and get a written fabricator quote before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

How does the shower enclosure calculator work out the glass area and cost?
You pick an enclosure type — fixed screen, walk-in, corner square, L-shaped or sliding — and enter the footprint length and width and the glass height in millimetres. The tool builds the developed glass panels for that layout, adds up their area in square metres, and multiplies by a per-square-foot toughened-glass rate for your chosen 8, 10 or 12 mm thickness. It then adds a hardware kit for your finish tier and fitting labour to give an indicative total.
What glass thickness and footprint should I choose?
For tall frameless panels use 10 or 12 mm toughened glass; 8 mm suits framed cubicles or short bath screens. Always specify toughened safety glass to IS 2553 or EN 12150 so it breaks into blunt granules. For footprint, aim for at least 900 by 900 mm for a comfortable corner shower; 760 mm is a usable minimum but feels snug. The built-in comfort check flags whether your length and width are generous, comfortable or tight.
How accurate is the cost estimate?
Treat it as an indicative India 2026 planning figure, not a quote. It covers clear toughened glass, a typical hardware kit and fitting labour only. Actual prices vary with brand, edge polishing, cut-outs, drilling, tinted or frosted glass and city rates. Measure the opening after tiling, confirm door-swing and waterproofing, and get a written quote from a local fabricator before you order.
