Why not curtains but a shower door? Well, it is more beautiful, for sure. But more importantly, by installing a shower door, you step inside a private area where you can enjoy your sacred shower time.
There are so many options with different styles and types to choose from and it is a confusing and daunting task to find the right shower door for your bathroom. Check below to choose the one that suits your needs and tastes best.
TIPS:
Make sure you have the exact measurements of the area so that you can buy or build the right shower door.
If you get a custom-made shower door, take into account the size of your bathroom to decide on the shape. If you choose among the standard ones, go with the best available option.
There are many options from frosted satin glass to clear and low-iron glass. Find the best one for you considering your need for privacy, budget, and sense of style.
If you want to protect your glass shower door against stains, soap scum, and other residues, you can add an invisible shield.
Unless you purchase a standard shower door, you will also need to choose the right fittings for your shower: glass hinges, shower door handles, knobs, brackets, glass seals, glazing channels, etc.
OPTIONS:
If you have limited space in your bathroom, sliding glass shower doors are the right choice for you. You can either purchase a bypass style with both doors sliding or a barn door style with one sliding door and one stationary panel.
This is the highest quality and the most expensive option. Providing an uninterrupted and clean look, these doors are good at highlighting the beauty of decorative tiles and marbles in the bathroom.
As an economic alternative to frameless shower doors, semi-frameless ones are still able to offer a high-end look. They often adopt a minimal approach to framing.
Depending on the quality of the framed doors, aluminum or solid brass frames are used. The frames are also available in different color options. You can choose the one that goes well with your taste and budget.
This option is a smart and elegant alternative for small bathrooms. A sheet of glass is fixed on one end of the area while a shorter part of the shower area remains uncovered. It creates a spacious feel in your bathroom and is often more economical than the other options.
