When it comes to remodeling your bathroom, the last thing on most people’s minds is their shower doors. After all, doors are doors, right? We’re here to tell you that the type of shower door and glass you choose are incredibly important, both for the look and functionality of your bathroom. If you’re looking to spruce up your bathroom with new shower doors, here are some of your many options.
Bypass Doors
Also known as a sliding glass door, bypass doors take up very little space, so they’re great for small bathrooms and apartments.
Pivot Doors
Because pivot doors swing open (either into or out of the shower) you don’t have to climb over a tub railing, making them an incredibly safe and a great option for those who are older.
Frameless Shower Doors
Seen as a more modern option, frameless shower doors are incredibly sleek and easy to care for. They’re also easy and relatively inexpensive to install.
Know that you know a bit about the structure of your shower, what about the glass? Obviously, we all know glass shower doors are made out of glass, but there are actually a lot more than just one type of glass to choose from.
Clear Glass
Clear glass is just that clear. While clear glass is a popular option, you should note that it may not be best for busy homes or crowded bathrooms, since there’s nothing blocking you from someone looking to get in the bathroom.
Frosted Glass
Frosted glass has a distinct look and texture, and does a better job at providing privacy than clear glass. However, you’ll still be able to see the outline of the person in the shower.
Tinted Glass
Whether you want a light frosting that allows a lot of light in or a glass that has been completely blacked out, tinted glass can be customized to meet any home’s needs.
