Updating your shower? Then, you have to consider your options for shower doors. Don’t leave this decision to the last minute, and instead explore your different choices.
Pivot vs. Sliding Doors
Your bathroom space can affect your choice of the shower door. Pivot shower doors, which open like a standard door are good if you have enough room. If the bathroom space is narrow, and the fixtures are not spaced wide enough, then a sliding door might be more appropriate. Likewise, sliding doors can also be used for tub enclosures.
Your bath installation contractors will take the exact measurement of your shower space and how much room you have between the shower and the existing or planned fixtures in the bathroom. During the consultation with you, they would let you know which option is best for you.
Framed vs. Frameless Doors
Frameless doors and enclosures are popular because they look modern and minimalist. They are made of thicker glass because of the fact that no frames are needed. They are also easier to clean because there are fewer crevices for mold. Because of these extra features, they are pricier than framed doors/enclosures.
Glass Types
Clear glass shower doors paired with a frameless design is a great choice if you want to highlight the gorgeous shower walls of your bathroom. In addition, the clear glass will give some depth and will make the room appear larger. Frosted glass, on the other hand, offers more privacy.
Additional Features
Top bath companies can provide additional shower door glass solutions. For instance, for low-maintenance shower doors, you can choose a glass that is treated with CleanCoat® to repel water. There are also pivot shower doors that have a self-closing mechanism.
Shower Hardware
The handles, knobs, towel bars and other hardware on your shower door will complete its look. Make sure you choose a hardware finish that complements the entire bathroom style.
