The wide selection of glass shower doors on the market today makes choosing the right ones for your bathroom a trickier task than you might have expected. There are so many styles and sizes available and you really need to think carefully about the position of your shower before considering particular types. Corner units, for example, usually feature different types of doors to those that are in the middle of the bathroom.<\/p>\n

The Best Glass Shower Doors for Your Bathroom<\/h2>\n

The key points to bear in mind when shopping for new shower enclosures and doors are your proposed budget, how much space you have in your bathroom and the position of your shower unit. Assuming that you do not choose something that is too expensive, too big, or with doors you cannot open, other factors to consider are mainly concerned with the aesthetics of the glass shower doors and enclosures on your shortlist.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pivot Doors<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Often featured in frameless enclosures owing to the very small hinges that are barely noticeable among all that lovely thick glass, pivot doors are designed to open outward in one smooth swinging action and are a great choice for areas with an opening that is too small to accommodate a sliding door but have enough space in front of them to open a door outwards.<\/li>\n
  2. Hinged Doors<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 These are glass shower doors that swing both inwards and outwards, and are also a good choice for very small spaces. The fact that they are normally to be found on neo-angled corner shower enclosures reinforces their suitability for compact bathrooms and has made them very popular with owners of smaller properties.<\/li>\n
  3. Sliding Doors<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Although they are very compact in one way, sliding door enclosures do require a little more room for the actual entrance. If you have room for a curved corner unit with a sliding door, they are a very nice choice both aesthetically and functionally.<\/li>\n
  4. Bi-fold Doors<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 These open into the shower area, like an accordion, and are another option worth considering when the position of your shower leaves little or no space to open a door outwards. They are also a good choice for contemporary bathrooms, with their, modern, sleek design. In common with other doors that open inwards, bi-fold doors help to minimise the amount of water that will drip onto the rest of your bathroom floor every time you take a shower.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Framed or Frameless Enclosures<\/h3>\n

    As mentioned above, many frameless shower enclosures feature pivot doors, which might influence your opinion as to whether they are suitable for your bathroom. Other factors that may have some bearing on your choice include the fact that frameless enclosures are easier to keep clean and generally look good for longer than framed ones. There is no metal or uPCV trim to get dirty or fade over time; all you need to do is use a mild detergent to keep the glass shower doors and panels of the enclosure sparkling clean.<\/p>\n
