How to Choose Doors for a Shower Cabin?

A shower cabin is something that is hard to imagine a modern bathroom without. It works perfectly in both large interiors, where there is already 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 that are suitable for installation, for example, in recesses or on profiles attached directly to the bathroom wall.

Take a look around our store and let us know, and we will definitely help solve the dilemma of how to choose shower doors. Or maybe you have no idea where to start? No worries! In this article, we briefly explain the complex topic of doors for shower cabins!

What Shower Doors Can You Find 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, as they are mounted on bearings or sliders, and when opening, the individual elements of the door overlap each other,
• hinged doors – this is the most traditional model of shower doors, which usually open outward, so a sufficiently large bathroom space is required for comfortable entry and exit from the shower cabin,
• folding shower doors, or accordion doors - these are models that fold inward into the cabin, thus taking up little space,
• hinge doors - this solution is not often encountered, they can open both outward and inward, so they can be used, for example, as recessed shower doors.

All the aforementioned types of shower cabin doors have their advantages and disadvantages, so when choosing the right shower doors, it is important to fit them not only to the style but also to the size of your bathroom.

What to Pay Attention to When Choosing Shower Doors?

The bathroom equipment should first and foremost be functional; otherwise, using it may turn out to be difficult or simply uncomfortable. Therefore, when choosing shower doors, pay attention to ensure they meet the needs of all household members. This is especially important if older or mobility-impaired individuals reside in your home. In this case, it is particularly important that there is enough space in the cabin, and the shower doors are easy to open. Sliding shower doors perform excellently in optimizing bathroom space.

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

Manufacturers offer shower doors with glass coated with a layer that prevents the accumulation of limescale and soap residue. This makes it easier to keep the shower cabin perfectly clean with minimal effort. We would like to remind you that you can also find such technology in our products!

Which Shower Doors to Choose for a Small Bathroom?

A small bathroom can often be quite a challenge when it comes to its arrangement. More spacious shower cabins essentially do not fit here; walls are more often used, and recesses are built. In small bathrooms, free access to all equipment is important, so when arranging them, you should consider carefully what and where will be installed. Sometimes, instead of figuring out what type of cabin would be best, it is better to opt for shower doors and a glass wall. This way, you can save space for a shower even in hard-to-reach places.

With a small bathroom, you can choose doors that will also serve as minimalist glazing, delineating different areas of the room. This effective idea can visually enlarge the bathroom. However, equally good solutions will be folding or sliding shower doors, which are more functional than traditional doors mounted with hinges.

In Summary - What to Remember When Choosing Shower Doors?

Firstly, the doors must fit the shower cabin and the size of the bathroom. If you have a reasonably sized room, you can choose outward-opening shower doors, which require more space for comfortable opening. Otherwise, folding or sliding shower doors will be a much better solution.

Secondly, you must not forget about any family members. The choice of a shower cabin and its corresponding doors must also consider less mobile individuals, so it is essential to pay attention to ease of opening and an appropriately wide entrance to the cabin.

The last aspect is aesthetic value, which should not be overlooked when choosing doors. Glass shower doors can have various colors and different levels of transparency. The frames on which the doors will be mounted can also be color-matched to the other elements of your bathroom furnishings. So, if you are still undecided on which shower cabin doors to choose, we invite you to check out our offer.
