Glass sliding shower doors
Glass sliding shower doors are still the choice of many installers, interior designers and homeowners because of their versatility and space-saving benefits. While trends in shower rooms may have diversified, glass sliding shower doors are still as popular now as they have ever been. A glass sliding shower door is ideal for small bathrooms where space is at a premium. Particularly in ensuite bathrooms, glass sliding shower doors are preferred over doors that open and shut because those few centimetres of space needed for an open door can impact a shower room’s overall design. Glass sliding shower doors also keep water in the shower area, rather than splashing out onto the bathroom floor which often happens with open shower enclosures and showers with opening and closing doors. If you need a customised shower enclosure, a glass sliding shower door offers great design versatility.
Trends in sliding shower doors
Frameless and semi-frameless sliding shower doors reduce the amount of metal and chrome fixings and frames. This provides reassurance to people who want a minimalist design and might otherwise have been put off from choosing a glass sliding shower door. The reduced framework gives a sliding shower door a sleek look that complements contemporary bathroom design. Matt black is on-trend for bathroom fittings and this also applies to sliding shower doorframes, with matching black handles and other matt black shower fittings. Double sliding shower doors are popular in larger bathrooms for projecting a sense of space, flamboyance and elegance. With quick release wheels the double doors are easily opened and closed in sync. Frosted sliding shower doors are a popular option for added privacy in shared bathrooms and shower rooms.
