If you want privacy, you might want to choose a transparent or frosted glass Shower Door. Although the former looks more elegant and classic, the latter isn't always the best choice for your bathroom. Clear glass can be difficult to clean, as it lacks a pattern to hide dirt and grime. Opaque glass is a good choice for privacy, though it does not provide as much privacy as frosted glass. Nonetheless, it is a practical choice for a large bathroom.

To select the proper size shower door, first measure the opening. The width and height of the opening should be measured from the edge of the tile or tub to the wall unit. Take a measuring tape and measure the distance to the nearest one-eighth inch. Make sure the jamb fits into the base track properly. Once you have the proper size, mark the screw holes in the jamb. Then, drill holes with a 3/16-inch masonry bit. Once drilled, insert a plastic wall anchor in each screwhole. If the door does not fit, tap it in using a plastic mallet to avoid marring the walls.

Another type of shower door is the pivot one. This type of door is similar to a sliding glass shower door, but the pivot point is on the wall rather than at the end. Pivot doors have a smaller opening than hinged glass shower doors. However, they do take up more space in the bathroom than sliding glass doors. And despite their low-profile design, pivot doors are also easier to clean than hinged glass doors. These doors are ideal for a smaller bathroom, or for an adjacent room.

Then, there are swinging shower doors. These shower doors can swing in or out, depending on how much space they require. Some hinged doors are pivot, while others have a track. Some combine the features of swinging and sliding doors. If you don't want to put a track in your bathroom, you can install a pivot shower door. If you have a wide opening, you should choose a sliding door. Otherwise, you might want to opt for a saloon shower door, which swings inward.

Another style of shower door is the framed one. Frameless showers are more expensive than framed ones. However, they have fewer framing and require less special installation. The framed style also weighs less than the frameless glass style. You can find frameless glass shower doors in brushed gold, burnished gold, or other finishes. And they are also more common than the frameless glass style. So, if you're looking for an inexpensive shower door, frameless is not the right choice for you.

Glass Shower Doors are available in different thicknesses. Thickness is an important consideration and depends on design and structural requirements. Thinner glass can be installed in most spaces, but a heavier glass door will require double studs on the hinge side and threshold. A thicker glass shower door will be more luxurious and add a sense of luxury to your bathroom. And because glass is heavier than other materials, it can glide easily. There are two primary types of shower doors: frameless glass and framed glass.
