Shower Doors FAQ

• What are the different types of shower doors?
  

  There are five main types of shower doors on the market in Ireland:
  

  • Hinged shower doors: These doors are attached to the shower wall with hinges and swing open like a traditional door.
  • Sliding shower doors: These doors have a track and rollers that allow them to slide open and closed.
  • Bi-fold shower doors: These doors have multiple panels that fold in half, allowing them to be opened and closed compactly.
  • Pivot shower doors: These doors have a pivot point at the top and bottom that allows them to swing open in a circular motion..
  • Quadrant shower doors: These shower doors fit into the corner of a bathroom in a quarter-circle shape.

• What are shower doors made of?

  Shower doors can be made of glass or acrylic, and frames can also be made of metal. The most common shower door material, however, is glass, and these can be made with tempered or laminated glass.

  How much do shower doors cost, typically?

  The cost of a shower door varies greatly, depending on the size, colour finish, mechanism and glass thickness. You can be sure that we have a door to suit all budgets and style preferences.
  

• What to look for when selecting shower doors?

  You need to consider several factors before choosing a shower door:
  

  • Size and layout of the shower area to decide which type of shower doors would be the best option.
  • Bathroom style to choose the best finish and style for the shower doors.
  • Functionality, material, and of course, price.

• What is the difference between shower doors and enclosures?

  At first sight, both shower doors and shower enclosures seem quite similar. However, there is a crucial difference between them:
  Shower doors usually mean a single door installed in front of a shower or bathtub.
  Shower enclosures, on the other hand, are a complete shower system that includes both doors and walls.
