Step 1: Choose A Shower Door Type
When choosing a shower door, it is important to pick the correct door type for your bathroom. Does your bathroom have a tub attached to it? In order to narrow your results, you would first need to decide if this is a tub shower door or just a shower door.
Step 2: Choose Swing or Sliding
When choosing a shower door, it is also important to pick the correct door installation. The two main shower door installations are a sliding door or a swinging shower door. If your bathroom is smaller or crowded, a sliding door will give the bathroom more room. Swinging or pivot shower doors are made for bathrooms that are larger or require a corner shower.
Step 3: Choose Your Glass Texture
Adding a touch of design can be as easy as choosing a certain type of glass texture. Most shower doors offer frosted or patterned styles. More commonly chosen is the clear glass for its clean and open appeal.
Step 4: Choose Frameless or Framed
The final step in creating the perfect shower door look for your bathroom is to select either a framed or frameless shower door. Depending upon the desired look of your bathroom will determine which you choose. The average home will have a framed shower door but becoming widely popular is the sophisticated frameless shower door.
