When it comes to selecting a shower door, the options can feel endless. From sliding shower doors to spacious hinge doors, to neat bifold options, there’s a shower door for all applications. Your bathroom layout will determine which door style works best – vanity, bath or toilet positions will all inform your decision.
Fold in on themselves and typically operate on a roller mechanism. They give wide, generous access to the shower zone – a popular choice where space is tight and there is no room for the door to open outwards.
Open inwards for the most part, provide generous access to the shower whilst retaining maximum space for the user inside the shower enclosure. A small portion of the infold door extends outwards in the door open position, so that the internal shower zone is not fully inhabited by the door. Typically seen on rectangular or square shower enclosures.
Sliding doors are popular and do not require additional clearance space for opening or closing. Available in all shapes; square, rectangle, quadrant and offset quadrant, the quadrant and offset quadrants have the advantage of being perfect for tight corners while still providing ample access.
If you have a larger bathroom, hinge doors are a great choice. Hinge doors swing open, providing a generous access to your shower. However, it’s important to keep in mind that hinge doors do require more clearance space when opened. Hinge doors are often available in all shapes; square, rectangle quadrant and offset quadrant. For larger sizes enclosures, hinge doors are often accompanied by inline panel options.
