Shower Doors help create a spa-like experience in your bathroom. They also prevent puddles from forming on the floor, which can be a safety hazard for family members and guests.

They are available in framed and frameless styles. Choosing the right one for your bathroom will require careful consideration of several factors. You can also select Custom Glass Walls to add a modern and stylish touch to your interior spaces. These glass walls can be tailored to fit any design preference, providing aesthetic appeal and practical benefits such as enhanced light flow and spatial openness.

Framed shower doors and enclosures feature a metal frame around the glass panels, offering a more traditional look for any bathroom design. This style is less expensive than going completely frameless, and it can be a great option for those looking to add an upgraded aesthetic without spending a fortune.

This type of shower door also offers a wider range of layout options since it can be configured as sliding doors that move along a track or swinging doors that open in and out. The frames come in various designs and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose a style that matches their existing bathroom fixtures. Framed showers can be found in brushed nickel, polished chrome, matte black, or any other color that complements the rest of the room.

The frame and glass are typically made of tempered glass, which provides added durability for your shower. This type of glass shatters into small, blunt pieces instead of sharp shards, protecting you from injury if the glass should break. Additionally, the frames around the glass provide a heavier barrier for water to penetrate, reducing the risk of leaks.

One drawback of framed shower doors is that they can collect water and mold or mildew around the edges, making them more difficult to clean than other styles. Keeping these doors dry with regular squeegeeing is essential to prevent damage and maintain the appearance of your bathroom. This type of shower also doesn’t offer as much of an open view of the shower, limiting the amount of natural light that can reach your space. This can be an issue if your space is cramped or if you want to showcase your shower tiles and other features.

Frameless

Framed and frameless shower doors can both be beautiful and functional, but deciding on the best style for your bathroom depends on a few factors. Luckily, both options are available in a variety of styles to suit any design aesthetic. Both types use tempered glass to safeguard your safety and durability.

While framed enclosures and doors may look more traditional due to their heavy metal framing, frameless showers provide the ultimate in customization and openness. Frameless doors use a thick pan of tempered glass with clips, hinges and door pulls mounted to the sides of the glass. They are not a good choice for a shower that requires extra support, like a tub surround, but they can be a stunning solution in a freestanding shower.

Because there is no frame, the glass in a frameless shower is usually much thicker than framed glass. This extra thickness is necessary to provide the necessary strength for a door that will be opened and closed regularly. This also means that frameless shower doors can be more expensive than framed glass.

The lack of a metal frame also makes frameless shower doors easier to clean. The crevices in a frame might collect soap scum and moisture over time, but with a frameless enclosure you can simply wipe the glass down to keep it looking great.

While most people think of swinging doors when they think of frameless showers, there are also sliding doors that can be used with this type of enclosure. This is a popular option, especially in smaller bathrooms where there may not be enough room for a swinging door. Both types of doors can be finished with a wide variety of hardware to match the rest of your décor.

Neo-Angle

A neo-angle shower is an elegant, stylish option that can add a touch of flair to any bathroom. It is often used to solve a problem with space in tight bathrooms where it allows the shower to take up less room while still providing a modern new look for the room. This type of shower also comes in a variety of sizes, allowing homeowners to choose the size that is best for their space.

Another benefit of a neo angle shower is that it can be cheaper than other types of showers. This is because it requires fewer materials for the enclosure. This can be especially beneficial for homeowners who are renovating their bathroom on a budget and want to save as much money as possible.

The only drawback to this type of shower is that it can be more prone to leakage than other styles. This is because the shower head is often aimed directly at the gaps of the door which can cause water to shed off the glass and then run down into the gap or onto the floor outside of the shower. The solution for this issue is to make sure that the curb or half wall has a proper pitch so that the water will shed down into the shower drain rather than onto the floor.

This type of shower is very popular among homeowners because it can create a beautiful new look for the bathroom without having to spend a lot of money. The minimalist design of these showers can also make them easier to clean, with fewer places for grime or mold to hide in the hardware.

Folding

These are hinged doors that collapse into segmented panels allowing them to shrink away and save space when not in use. They’re ideal for smaller bathrooms, especially if your shower enclosure is built into an alcove as they don’t need to swing outwards to open and close – meaning you can keep that wall clear to maximise room.

Because of the way they work, bi-fold doors are also ideal for those who have a lot of privacy to consider – they’re able to be opened up and closed with ease without having to stand to the side of your bath or shower cubicle. They’re also available with frosted glass panels so you can enjoy the natural light while still remaining obscured and private.

Durovin’s Bi Fold Shower Doors are available in a wide range of sizes. To find the perfect fit, simply measure the opening you wish to fit your shower door into. Then choose the door size (including the aluminium profiles) that matches this measurement.

As well as a choice of styles and materials, we also have a variety of hardware options for you to choose from.

You can even upgrade to a magnetic seal or a glass panel with a built-in shelf for extra storage.
