What Type of Glass Shower Doors Should You Choose?
We can recommend a glass shower door product for every space, every style of bathroom and every budget:
Frameless Doors
Frameless shower doors are crafted from sturdy tempered glass, eliminating the need for external metal support. This results in a sleek, modern appearance with an unobstructed view of your bathroom's design elements. Frameless doors are renowned for their minimalist aesthetic, making them an excellent choice for showcasing beautiful stonework, intricate tile designs, and gleaming hardware. Cleaning is a breeze as they lack seals that can accumulate water buildup over time.
Best for: A high-end contemporary look
Glass Tub Enclosures
If you want to retain your bathtub but desire a sleeker alternative to a shower curtain, a glass tub enclosure could be the perfect compromise. This shower door option offers a modern and easy-to-maintain upgrade.
Best for: Updating a bathtub
Bi-Fold Shower Doors
Framed or semi-frameless, it operates on tracks and folds inward to create an opening. Good for narrow or small showers.
Best for: Narrow shower openings
Textured Glass Finishes
Frosted, etched, patterned, or tinted to offer privacy. It is easier to maintain than clear glass but slightly more expensive.
Best for: Adding privacy
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors
Semi-frameless shower doors balance the sleekness of frameless options and the affordability of framed models. These doors feature metal framing around the entire frame, excluding the door panel.
Best for: A more affordable contemporary look
Sliding Doors
A glass sliding shower door is a widely popular option that operates on a track attached to the floor and ceiling. Also referred to as a bypass door, this style is ideal for narrow bathrooms with closely spaced fixtures and limited room for a hinged door. However, the shower should be wide enough for one glass door to slide entirely to the opposite side.
Sliding shower doors can be framed or semi-frameless, with the tracks potentially categorized as frames. Framed sliding shower glass doors typically come at a lower cost than semi-frameless sliding doors.
Best for: Tight bathrooms
Partial Tub Enclosure
It covers only half the shower stall or tub, providing a modern look. Can pivot for added functionality.
Best for: A contemporary look
Framed Shower Doors
Framed shower doors are installed within a robust, heavy-duty aluminum metal frame to provide additional strength and support. While they may not offer the same visual impact as frameless alternatives, framed glass shower doors have advantages.
This classic pivot shower door makes a bold statement, complementing traditional and contemporary bathroom designs. Thanks to their sealed build, framed glass shower doors are less prone to leakage.
Best for: Easy, affordable installation
Pivoting Door
A pivot glass shower door—a swinging or hinge door—operates like a standard door, opening outward. These doors can make a style statement in a conventional or cottage-style bathroom. Pivoting shower doors are particularly popular for small bathrooms with smaller shower openings, as they require less width to open compared to a sliding door. There are also swing-in pivot-door options available for compact spaces.
Best for: Tight spaces
Clear Glass Finishes
Perfectly transparent, it adds brightness to the bathroom. Requires regular cleaning for a pristine appearance.
Best for: A streamlined, clean look
Before deciding, consider factors such as budget, maintenance, and safety. It's also essential to discuss with a retailer or contractor to ensure the chosen door fits your space and meets your specific requirements.
