Instead of shower curtains, many homeowners are investing in glass shower doors these days. Not only do glass shower doors provide a contemporary aesthetic to your shower place, but they are more durable and sturdier than your old shower curtains.
Today, we talk about the different types of shower doors.
Sliding Shower Doors
Sliding shower doors, also known as bypass doors, are one of the most popular types among homeowners. They move from side to side and usually come with tracks at the bottom and the two vertical sides. Since they don’t open out, sliding shower doors are ideal for a small bathroom. Their handles can also be used as a towel rack as they typically span the length of the door on one side.
In some contemporary designs, sliding shower doors can be trackless or frameless. Frameless ones don’t obstruct light and make your bathroom area into a more coherent unit. As such, you may want to consider KOHLER® LuxStone® frameless sliding shower doors. The 78 inch high sliding shower door features vertical blade handles while the 76 inch high sliding door provides a towel bar and knob handle.
Pivot Shower Doors
Pivot shower doors operate on a hinge system, much like hinged shower doors. However, unlike hinged shower doors, pivot shower doors are able to fully open in either direction. Depending on your preference, your shower contractors can install hinges on one side of the panel, just like hinged doors. You may also want to use a center pivot, which turns your shower door into a revolving door.
If you’re interested in installing a pivot shower door, KOHLER LuxStone offers a frameless pivot shower door. It features thick, crystal clear tempered glass with a vertical handle.
Barn Shower Doors
Barn shower doors offer the best solution if your bathroom space is at a premium, but you want some elbow room in your shower. Due to their impressive modern look, barn shower doors can be the artistic focal point of your bathroom. You may also want to consider rolling barn shower doors. This style of barn shower door features enclosures that are set apart by a door panel that rolls along a metal bar near the top of the unit.
KOHLER LuxStone’s frameless sliding barn doors are available in many colors, including matte black. It has thick tempered glass with a gently curved towel bar and knob handle for easy access.
