Is it Better to Have a Shower Door or Curtain?

Shower curtains can be fun, allowing you to add a pop of color to your bathroom. They are also relatively more affordable than shower doors! However, where you may consider a glass shower door is when you take into account the important benefits they offer. Shower doors are sturdier and more secure, easier to keep clean, and better at keeping water inside the shower or tub instead of on the floor.

Shower Door Types 

If you don’t know where to start, choosing a shower door can be an overwhelming task. One of the first things you will have to decide on is the open style of your need shower door. 

Sliding Shower Doors

Also known as bypass doors, sliding shower doors are made from two panels that hang from a rack and glide past each other. They are especially good options for larger showers. The sliding construction of bypass doors means they take up very little floor space, and they're a convenient style for wider bathtub showers.

Hinged Shower Doors

Opening either inward or outward, hinged shower doors can take up more room than sliding doors, but are convenient for corner and cubicle showers. The hinges are most often fixed to the bathroom wall, meaning they don’t need a shower frame.

Pivot Shower Doors

Pivot doors are similar to hinged shower doors, but are supported by attachments above and below the door instead of at the side. With pivot doors, the weight is supported by the frame of the shower cubicle.

How Thick Should the Glass of a Shower Door Be?

Shower door glass commonly ranges from 3/16" up to half an inch thick. Thicker glass is tougher and a good choice for frameless doors, although it will need stronger support from its hinges, guides or pivots.

The glass itself can have a range of coatings and finishes for privacy and looks, including pebbled, frosted and rain effects. Ultimately, your shower door glass thickness will depend on your preferences.

Framed vs Frameless Shower Kits 

Choose the type of frame that best suits your bathroom decor. Frameless doors are mainly glass, and suit a modern, sleek design. However, an anodized aluminum frame offers a sturdier door, with a long and corrosion-free life. Frames are available with finishes in a variety of colors, like black, silver and white. Find shower kits for both framed and frameless shower doors at Ace.

Can I Install a Shower Door Kit Myself?

Whether you feel comfortable with installing your own shower door will depend on your experience levels with DIY projects. A shower door kit may be a good investment for the dedicated DIYer, with most kits including many of the things you need for a successful installation, like a base, a wall surround, the shower door, a center drain and more.

Additionally, depending on the setup, doors can typically be installed to open from either the left or the right, giving the home improver extra versatility.
