As much as people may gripe and groan about actually getting into the shower, once there, it’s a lovely haven you’re often reluctant to leave. Your shower doors play a significant role in both the comfort of your shower and in the aesthetics of your bathroom. You want a shower door that both suits your tastes and your needs.
For instance, if you’re remodeling your bathroom, you may not know whether to go for framed or frameless shower doors. You may wonder if a European style shower door is right for you. Or, if you or a loved one need accommodations, you may be looking into shower doors that can fulfill that need.
Here is a brief overview on some of the different types of shower doors available and some questions you can ask yourself in order to determine the perfect shower doors for you. Let’s get into it.
Types Of Shower Doors
Hinged, pivot, sliding, framed, frameless, etc… There are many different types of doors for showers. Unless you have a walk-in shower or outdoor shower, you’ll need to pick a specific type. Here at Creekside Windows & Glass, we offer framed, frameless, and European shower doors. We may also be able to adjust your doors to your needs.
Framed Shower Doors
Framed doors allow you to enjoy a more traditional and classic appearance. You can customize the type of glass that you have, the same as with any other door. Since these doors have frames, you can also customize the frames to match the rest of your bathroom’s decor. These are known for being more budget-friendly.
Frameless Shower Doors
These are made of thicker, tempered glass so as not to need a frame, and as such, tend to cost more than framed doors. Many people love these doors for their sleek appearance, and the fact that you can customize the glass to your liking.
European Shower Doors
These are like frameless doors, as they do not use metal frames. They are minimalistic and come in a variety of styles, so whether you want something more modern or classic, you can ensure that you have the doors that fulfill your needs.
Considerations When Choosing A Shower Door
There are many different questions to ask yourself when choosing a door for your shower, as is the case with everything involving the interior design of your home. Some of the most important considerations you should have answers for are as follows.
What’s Your Budget?
Perhaps the most important thing to figure out on your quest to find the perfect shower door is what your budget looks like. The last thing you want is to fall in love with a type of shower door only to find out that it’s out of your price range. By setting a budget, you can have an easier time looking at doors that you can realistically afford, avoiding such a heartache.
How Big Is The Space?
You need to take measurements for your shower in order to help your search. For example, if you have a corner shower, these typically don’t have as much room for a door as showers that are more centered. Knowing how big the space is can help you pick a size that works and is comfortable, rather than opting for a door that looks strange and out of place in the space.
What’s Your Bathroom Design?
You don’t want to pick a shower door that clashes with the aesthetics of the space. There are so many different styles and finishes available. If you need help figuring out what kind of door would work best with your design, you can consult with an expert. People who sell shower doors are familiar with customers needing help choosing and would be happy to help you out.
