Shower doors come in various types and designs to suit different bathroom spaces and styles. Common options include sliding doors, hinged doors, swing- out doors, folding doors, and frameless or framed glass doors. These doors are typically made of tempered glass for durability, with some featuring coatings that repel water and prevent spots. Key types of shower doors:
- Sliding Shower Doors: Ideal for limited space, sliding doors move sideways and don’t require extra space to open.
- Hinged or Swing-Out Doors: These open either inward or outward and are available in one or more panels.
- Folding Doors: Made of multiple panels that fold to the side, saving space.
- Frameless Glass Doors: Provide a sleek, modern look and are often made from thicker tempered glass.
- Fixed Panels with Door: Common in corner showers or niche showers, combining fixed glass with an access door.
Other features can include coatings for easy cleaning, adjustable installation parts for out-of-plumb walls, and different color finishes such as matte black or silver. Shower door seals and edge trims are also available to prevent water leakage and ensure quiet closure. These options allow customization to maximize functionality and aesthetics in bathrooms of all sizes, from compact spaces to luxurious setups.
