Different types of shower doors.

Owing to their distinct textures frosted and opaque glass shower doors are becoming popular. There are several glass panels as part of these shower doors and while one is fixed others will fold up on themselves thanks to their hinges. If you like the look of glass shower doors but are worried that you won t have enough space in your bathroom for a door to open out consider a bi fold door. To create the frosted texture manufacturers etch one side with sandblasting or acid.

Folding or bi fold shower doors are a good option when you re looking for a wider walk in opening but lack the space for a pivot door. These are great space savers while also delivering a spacious feel. Pivot shower doors can swing 180 so they can open in or out. They primarily come in two different types of bi fold and tri fold and have a very unique folding mechanism which looks and feels incredibly modernistic.

Instead of swinging open out into your bathroom bi fold doors fold inward. Their smooth and soft appearance provides more privacy than clear glass and they can be purchased in a variety of colours and designs. The frameless design of dreamline s butterfly door offers a clean custom glass look and can be installed over a shower stall or a tub. Bi fold or tri fold shower doors operate just the way that their name implies.

Pivot hinges are the design used on most ultra modern curved glass shower doors.
