You certainly dont have to choose that shower door unit if you do not like it. Check for other recommendations from the manufacturer or research options of your own.
Two design options you will find for consideration when shopping are:
Recessed corner bathtub shower. Recessed corner tubs require the cutting of a hole in your floor and the tub placed within it. The rim of the bathtub then extends above the level of the floor. These units are able to conserve more floor space than freestanding corner shower tubs.
Freestanding corner bathtub showers. Freestanding tubs are placed on a platform that rests on top of your existing floor. These offer a great deal of opportunities to add design flare in the necessary enclosure surrounding the tub. After the tub is installed on the platform and plumbed; an enclosure of your choice must be framed and built to go around your corner bathtub shower.
You can build in storage under the enclosure for toiletries and bath products. There are so many choices to cover the enclosure. Choices such as brick, stone, carpet, wood, and paneling and so on are available. If you can imagine it, it has probably been used to cover a corner shower bathtub enclosure.
