Shower Door Types

• Sliding shower doors– also known as“bypass” doors, take up the least amount of space and consist of two to three panels that slide past one another on top and bottom tracks. Sliding shower doors are ideal for wide openings, typically being60” wide and commonly used in alcoveand corner stand-alone showers or tub/shower combos with stationary panels.
• Neo-Angle –designed to fit neo-angle shower enclosures for corner installations. These doors take up little space andcan be installed to swing open left or right. They are also commonly used with corner, stand-alone showers.
• Pivot –open outward from a single side and are installed in a stand-alone shower space. This type is ideal for openings that are too small to accommodate a bypass door. Pivot shower doors are typically 36” wide, but can get as wide as 48”. If you have a larger opening, these doors may be installed with one or two fixed panels and can be single or double-hinged mounted to swing either in or out. They also can be installed on the left or right side to fit the layout of your bathroom.They are most commonly used in alcove and corner, stand-alone showers.

Frame Design and Glass

Traditional shower doors have an aluminum or composite material framing the glass panel, whereasframeless shower doorsare a newer style with different thicknesses of glass. Frames offer a variety of finishes that are available to complement your décor. The door design includes a track which can collect and trap water, but does require periodic cleaning and can only open outwards. Frames allow for a wide variety of different finish colors. The advantage of a frameless door is that it iseasier to keep clean. Frameless shower doors can open both in and out, and have the ability to make your bathroom feel larger.

Designs and effects, such as frost, tinted, and textured glass can turn your door into a large work of art that makes a statement about your personal style. There arefour things to keep in mindwhen choosing the glass for your door and the style you want.

1. The thickness of a glass shower door is dependent on structural and design factors, such as whether or not the door will be framed or frameless.
