How to Choose Shower Doors?

A shower cabin is something without which it is difficult to imagine a modern bathroom. It works perfectly in both large interiors that already have a bathtub and in small spaces where the shower is placed in the corner of the bathroom. However, it is worth knowing that regardless of the cabin itself, you can buy shower doors suitable for installation, for example, in an alcove or on profiles attached directly to the bathroom wall.

Take a look around our store and let us know, and we will definitely help resolve the dilemma of how to choose shower doors. Or maybe you don't know where to start? That's okay! In this article, we briefly explain the intricate topic of shower doors!

What Shower Doors Can be Found in Stores?

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the most commonly chosen types of shower doors:

• sliding doors – these are shower doors that take up the least space because they are mounted on bearings or slides, and when opened, the individual elements of the door overlap,
• hinged doors – this is the most traditional model of shower doors, usually opening outward, so you need a sufficiently large bathroom space to enter and exit the shower cabin comfortably,
• folding shower doors, or accordion - these are models that fold inward into the cabin, thus not taking up much space,
• swing doors - this is a solution not often seen, they can open both outward and inward in the cabin, so they can be used, for example, as niche shower doors.

All of the above-mentioned shower doors have their pros and cons, so when choosing the right shower doors, you need to remember to match them not so much to the style, but to the size of your bathroom.

What to Consider When Choosing Shower Doors?

Bathroom equipment should first of all be functional; otherwise, using it may prove difficult or just uncomfortable. So, when choosing shower doors, let's pay attention to them being adapted to the needs of all household members. This is especially important if your home has elderly or mobility-impaired people. In this case, it is particularly important for the cabin to have enough space and for the shower doors to open easily. Here, sliding shower doors are perfect as they optimize the bathroom space.

The second aspect important when choosing shower doors for the bathroom is their appearance. All the shower doors available in our offer are made of high-quality tempered glass resistant to mechanical damage and high temperature. Depending on individual preferences, the glass can be completely transparent, covered with "frost", or decorated with an opaque pattern.

Manufacturers offer shower doors with glass coated to prevent the deposition of limescale and soap residues. This means that maintaining the shower cabin in perfect cleanliness does not require much effort. We remind you that you can also find such technology in our products!

What Shower Doors to Choose for a Small Bathroom?

A small bathroom is often quite a significant problem when it comes to its arrangement. Larger wall-mounted cabins are practically out of the question here, and walls and alcoves are more often used. In small bathrooms, it is essential to have free access to all appliances, so when arranging them, you should carefully consider what and where will be installed. Sometimes, instead of wondering what type of cabin will be best, it's better to opt for shower doors and a glass wall. This way, you can find space for a shower even in hard-to-reach places.

With a small bathroom, you can choose doors that will also become a minimalist glazing separating different parts of the room. This effective idea helps optically enlarge the bathroom. However, an equally good solution will be folding or sliding shower doors, which are more functional than traditional doors mounted using hinges.

In Conclusion – What to Remember When Choosing Shower Doors?

First, doors must fit the shower cabin and the size of the bathroom. If you have a sufficiently large room, you can opt for outward-opening shower doors that need more space to open comfortably. In another situation, folding or sliding shower doors will be a much better solution.

Secondly, don't forget about any family members. Choosing a shower cabin with appropriately matched doors must also include consideration for less-independent people, so ease of opening and an adequately wide entrance to the cabin should be noted.

The last aspect is the aesthetic value, which you also cannot forget when choosing doors. Glass shower doors can have various colors and levels of transparency. The profiles on which the doors will be mounted can also be color-matched to the other elements of your bathroom's equipment. So if you haven't yet decided which shower doors to choose, we invite you to explore our offer.
