What You Need to Know about Shower Doors
When it comes to choosing a shower door, you may feel overwhelmed. There are many choices that you?ll have as far as sizes, finishes, styles and brands, but with our help you can find the right door for the space that you have in your bathroom. As you choose your shower unit always give thought to how the doors will work in conjunction with all of the other design elements in your bathroom. You must get this choice right the first time, so carefully plan and explore the options that you have and how your doors will work in the layout that your bathroom has. Let?s look at some of your options for shower doors.
- Pivot hinged shower door enclosures. These doors project into your bathroom and use bottom and top pivots that your glass doors rest inside. Pivot shower doors are excellent if your bathroom is spacious and space is not a limitation for you to be concerned about. This style of door gives you plenty of room to enter and exit the shower without having to worry about scraping your elbows or knees.
- Bi-fold shower door. This type of door works on a single roller which lets the door fold back. It doesn't project out into the bathroom, so space doesn't have to be considered. If you need ideal access as you get into and out of your shower, this is an option that you should seriously consider.
- Hinged shower doors. On this type of shower door, you?ll have two large hinges on the door that fully opens into your bathroom. Take this into consideration if you have a smaller bathroom that would not accommodate the size of opening clearance that these doors require. You?ll have ample room as you enter and leave the shower; this style is excellent if you have older family members living with you who need a wider access to the shower.
- Sliding shower doors. When space is a problem, this type of door may be the option that is best for you. These doors slide, with wheeled rollers, in a panel that is fixed to give you effortless movement as you get into or out of the shower. The door won?t extend out into the bath and will ultimately be the same size as your shower. When you take measurements be sure to have the exact size so that your doors will operate as they were designed without buckling or jamming on the track.
- Quality is important in the selection of your shower doors. You?ll want them to work without issues and to last a long time. Ask us about how to care for your doors and the products that you can use to keep them working problem free. Ask us about what the moveable parts are made of so that we can demonstrate how our rollers, tracks, and hinges are top-rated in the industry.
