Frameless And Sliding Shower Doors

By Darren Hartley


One form of frameless shower doors are pivot doors, also referred to as swinging or hinge doors. Also available in semi-frameless models, they swing open just like a traditional door. They have a provision for an easy-to-access, open shower environment. It offers a clean and sophisticated look to the bathroom.

Sliding shower doors are other forms of frameless shower doors. Typically selected for baths and large showers, the overlapping of these doors is guided by a smooth, quiet sliding action. The array of styles and designs in which they are available in, all offer a practical and space-saving solution to most bathrooms.

Specialized sliding shower doors or pivot shower doors come in the form of steam shower doors. With its semi-frameless design, it creates a spa-like atmosphere for the bathroom area. Holding in steam is assured by its provision of a tight seal. Designed to perfectly fit as well as beautify a bathroom space, all these shower doors provide a good option for homeowners in the lookout to upgrade the look of their bathroom space.

People prefer frameless shower doors because of the elegance they bring to a bathroom. Other than showing off a beautifully tiled shower, they can actually make a bathroom look bigger. Their sleek and modern design is one of its vital benefits. They are also easier to clean and maintain because there is no channel for mildew or mold to set in.

Other benefits of frameless shower doors are the absence of metal frames, durability and custom fitting. The absence of metal frames removes the risk of corrosion or rust, making them outlast framed shower doors. Their durability comes from its thicker glass material, which actually is a requirement for their ability to support its panels. Their custom fitting a bathroom removes the limitation to its size.

Providing handles that span the length of the door, sliding shower doors are the more popular and space saving options as far as shower doors are concerned. Their handles can do double duty as towel racks. Most affordable among the available shower door styles, their downside lies in their being prone to mold, mildew and rust, primarily because of their metal rack upon which their rollers sit.
