Shopping for the right shower door can be confusing. Especially if you conduct your research on the Internet where you\u2019ll often encounter statements like this: \u201cThe hinged, or pivoting shower door is the most common type of shower door.\u201d<\/em> The implication is that hinged and pivoting doors are the same thing. They\u2019re not. While both hinged shower doors and pivoting shower doors have hinges the two doors are actually quite different and it has to do with how they open. Let\u2019s take a closer look at both doors.<\/p>\n The side mounted hinged door and pivoting shower door are different animals. But which one is right for your home?<\/p>\n The Hinged Shower Door<\/strong><\/p>\n You see a lot of hinged shower doors in Mississauga homes. The door is mounted on hinges at the edge of the panel that connect either directly to the wall or to an adjoining glass panel in the shower enclosure, or to a frame. The glass panel hinged shower door typically opens outward and as such requires a fairly considerable amount of space in order for it to be practical.<\/p>\n Hinged Pros <\/strong><\/p>\n Hinged Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Pivoting Shower Door<\/strong><\/p>\n A pivoting shower door uses a two part hinge – one part on top of the door, one on the bottom – that allows the door to pivot rather than swing. As such the centre of motion for the door is moved closer to the vertical centre of the door itself. A door mounted in this fashion requires far less space because the entirety of the door is not opening out into the bathroom. In addition, some pivoting shower doors can open either in or out.<\/p>\n Pivot Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Pivot Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Choosing the right shower doors in Mississauga doesn\u2019t have to be a daunting task.
