Has anyone installed a Kinedo self-contained shower cubicle -

It seems like a good idea, as there is no sealant or grouting to leak.
Any positive/negative comments on these products?

Thanks.



I would worry about the quality if it was to be your main shower. The
doors are good quality, with nice ball-bearing rollers, but the shower
tray is quite plasticy, not like the stone resin ones I would like.
Also you'll lose quite a bit of space behind & to the side of it so,
again, if space is tight I'd be tempted to fit a standard shower tray
and tile the walls.

I don't understand how we lose space behind. All the pictures I've
seen show this unit in a corner. There is no gap between the shower
cubicle and the wall.
The main advantage of this self-contained cubicle is that you don't
have to tile, and so eliminate a possible cause of leaking. No tiling
also means it's easier to install.
A standard shower tray is also prone to leaking at the join with the
wall - in fact that's exactly what happened to our previous shower. It
leaked for a long time, and eventually wrecked the plasterboard.

Specific question I have a-

How easy is it to assemble/install?
How durable is it?
Is it really leak-proof?
