Glass shower doors are one of the favourite styles of doors

Shower doors provide a entry into a relaxing world

Most shower stalls require a shower door. Doors can be manufactured out of glass, fiberglass, Plexiglas and other hard plastics. The purpose of the door is to let you into the shower and keep the water out of your bathroom. There are two main types of doors, sliding and hinged. Double sliding doors are generally used on the larger units while hinged doors and split doors are used on the smaller units.

When examining shower enclosures, look at the direction of the water flow. It is a good idea to have your shower door open so that the water spray is not directed at the opening as this will result in a large amount of water getting on your floor. Also, from a cleaning position, flat doors are much easier to clean than curved doors. After each shower if the residual water on the door is not removed, it will evaporate leaving a trace amount of mineral deposits. Over time this thin film will discolor your door and it will have to be cleaned. It is much easier to use a squeegee to clean a flat door than a curved door.
