Dusjkabiner

Dusjkabiner is the Dutch term for a shower enclosure, a prefabricated structure designed to contain water within a dedicated shower space. It typically consists of panels made of tempered safety glass or durable plastic, supported by metal frames or a solid panel, and is fitted with a door or gate to allow access. The enclosure is usually installed over a shower base or tray and is chosen to separate the shower area from the rest of the bathroom.

Common configurations include corner units, quadrant or neo-angle enclosures, and walk-in designs. Materials often used are tempered glass (6–8 mm) or acrylic panels, with aluminum or stainless steel profiles. Doors can be sliding, pivot, or bi-fold. Some models include additional features such as built-in shelves, seating, and adjustable or thermostatic controls; higher-end variants may offer hydro-massage or steam options.

Installation requires proper waterproofing and sealing of joints, secure anchoring to walls, and appropriate drainage planning to avoid water leakage. Regular maintenance focuses on cleaning to prevent soap scum and mold, inspecting door seals, and replacing worn gaskets or damaged seals.

Etymology and usage: The term dusjkabiner combines dusj ('shower') with kabiner, related to cabine or cabin, reflecting the enclosed nature of the unit. Dusjkabiner is widely used in Dutch-speaking contexts to describe a modular solution for bathroom showers.
