Sliding & Swing Shower

When choosing a glass shower door, the decision often comes down to sliding vs. hinged doors. Each has its own benefits and drawbacks, depending on your bathroom layout, space, and style preferences.

 Sliding Shower Doors: Space-Saving & Sleek

Pros:

• Great for Small Bathrooms – Since they glide along a track, they don’t require extra space to open.
• Modern & Minimalist – Offers a clean, streamlined look with minimal hardware.
• Ideal for Bathtub-Shower Combos – Works well for showers installed over tubs.

Cons:

• Harder to Clean – Tracks can collect dirt and grime over time.
• Limited Opening Width – Only one side opens, which may feel restrictive in some setups.
• Requires Smooth Gliding Mechanism – If not installed properly, doors may not slide smoothly.

Swing Shower Doors: Elegant & Spacious

Pros:

• Wide & Easy Access – Opens fully for a luxurious, open feel.
• Easier to Clean – No bottom track to trap dirt or soap scum.
• More Design Flexibility – Works with both frameless and framed shower enclosures.

Cons:

• Requires Swing Space – Needs enough clearance for the door to open outward.
• Not Ideal for Tight Spaces – Can be impractical in small bathrooms with limited room.
• Potential Water Dripping – When opened, water may drip onto the floor.

Which One Should You Choose?

• Choose sliding doors if you have a small bathroom or prefer a space-saving option.
• Opt for hinged doors if you want a wide opening and have enough clearance space.

Both options offer style and functionality, so the best choice depends on your bathroom layout and personal preference. Need expert advice on selecting the right shower door? Contact us today! Sliding & Swing Shower
