The alcove fixture consists of two fixed walls, to one of which a hinged folding door is attached. The product is well-suited for a shower enclosure is well-suited for a shower enclosure outside of which on one side there are fixtures and on the other side the space is also cramped both inside and outside of the shower area. The folding door does not require space for opening from outside of the shower area; instead, it folds into the small space inside the shower area in the direction of the building wall. The fixed wall to which the door has been hinged can be dimensioned according to the fixtures (e.g. the mixer) in the shower area so that the door does not hit the fixtures when being folded. The other fixed wall can be dimensioned so that the fixed wall protects the fixtures outside of the shower area.

The door rotates 90 degrees in both directionsand is equipped with an adjustable centring. The centring attempts to return the door back to the open and closed positions. In addition the outer panel turns 180 degrees in relation to the inner panel so that the panels fold against each other into the inside portion of the shower area. A magnet seal keeps the door tightly closed during showering.
