The shower is a central feature of the bathroom, combining both functionality and design. Choosing the right one allows you to maximize comfort while ensuring it blends harmoniously with the space. Here are the main options to consider when purchasing a shower.
The choice of installation mainly depends on the room’s layout.
- An alcove shower is enclosed between 3 walls and is ideal for smaller spaces.
- A corner shower is installed at the junction of two walls, making it a great space-saving option for compact bathrooms.
- More daring, against a wall shower features three glass sides and is installed against a single wall. It provides a sleek, modern look and is often favored in larger bathrooms. No matter your bathroom’s layout, Zitta Group offers a wide range of shower models to suit all types of installations.
•Sliding doors are ideal for bathrooms with limited clearance, as they glide along a rail without extending into the surrounding space.
• Pivot doors require front clearance to open fully. However, some models are designed to open both inward and outward, making them a practical solution for compact layouts. Exemples : Xenia – Amaly – Materia
• Shower screens are a perfect solution for walk-in showers. They provide an open, minimalist entry while effectively limiting splashes. Exemples : Indus – Vetra – Walk-In
3. Panel Type: Clear, Fluted, or Custom
Glass panels have become essential for achieving a sleek and contemporary shower design.
- Clear glass creates a sense of space and lightness, making it ideal for smaller bathrooms.
- Fluted glass, with its textured vertical lines, adds a decorative touch while providing a bit of privacy. Our VAIA and MINIA shower models let you choose between clear glass and fluted glass.
- New for 2025: Custom glass lets you add a pattern or graphic texture while reducing transparency. Zitta Group now offers a wide range of printed designs through its new Inspira concept. Visit inspira.zittagroup.com to learn more.
Whatever style you choose, always opt for tempered glass, known for its strength and safety.
Also, consider the technical features of the glass. For instance, Zitta Group offers Zitta Clean, a surface treatment that reduces lime buildup and makes daily cleaning easier. Saving you time and keeping your shower sparkling.

4.Fixtures: Shower column or thermostatic shower
Your choice of fixtures impacts both the comfort of use and the overall style of your bathroom.
Be sure to match the finishes with your shower hardware (matte black, chrome, brushed nickel, gold…) as well as with other elements like the bathtub or sink to create a cohesive and elegant look.

Shower Base: Materials, Drainage, and Design
The shower base plays a key role in both the aesthetics and functionality of your bathroom.
- Acrylic bases are lightweight, glossy, easy to install, and perfect for a modern style. Zitta Group now also offers acrylic bases with a matte white finish, a soft texture that adds refined elegance to your bathroom, all at an affordable price.
- Slate style bases, made from rock dust, provide a premium mineral look that’s ideal for contemporary designs. Drain placement is another important consideration:
- A centered drain is a classic option.
- An off-center or linear drain provides more flexibility and a sleek look, especially suited to large ceramic tiles.
The design of the drain cover can also make all the difference.
Some models feature a magnetic drain cover, which is both elegant and easy to remove for cleaning.
For visual harmony, consider matching it to your base or fixtures for a flawless, cohesive finish.
6.Shower Walls
What are your options for shower walls?
When it comes to choosing shower walls, ceramic is often the first option that comes to mind. While it offers an elegant and timeless look, it can quickly increase your renovation costs, especially due to the price of materials and the need for specialized labor for installation.
As an alternative, aluminum walls provide a practical, modern, and cost-effective solution. Available in a variety of sizes, they’re quick and easy to install—most of the time, your shower installer can handle it without needing a professional tiler.
And the best part: Zitta Group will soon offer customizable shower walls.
Whether it’s a photo from our gallery or an image of your choice… the possibilities are endless to personalize your space and express your style!

Some features can make your shower experience even more enjoyable:
- A built-in wall niche keeps your products organized without the need for bulky accessories.
- An integrated or fold-down seat adds extra comfort, especially for seniors or individuals with reduced mobility.
- For a truly unique experience, Zitta Group even offers built-in Bluetooth speakers — perfect for relaxing with your favorite music!
