Utah Custom Glass Shower Doors & Enclosures

The most common custom glass shower door choice is probably a pivot door design. In addition to being the most affordable alternative, simple designs frequently are chosen over sliding door types since they are much less likely to stick and provide easy and quick access into your shower. However, one thing that you need to consider before you choose this kind of glass shower enclosure, is to make sure there is sufficient space in your bathroom to allow the door to fully open without there being any type of obstruction from sloping walls or adjacent walls. For en-suite bathrooms, this is frequently the case. If you do happen to have limited space in your bathroom, then you should consider the two following options instead of a pivot door design.

Sliding Doors

Whenever you have limited space, the traditional pivot door design is often not an option that you can use in your bathroom. In this situation, many homeowners choose a shower enclosure with a sliding door. Glass sliding doors still offer easy access into the shower without needing additional space right next to the enclosure for swinging the door open. Several kinds of glass sliding door enclosures are available for you to choose from, including both double and single door configurations in addition to smart corner entry designs. Should you choose to go with this kind of enclosure, be sure to keep your sliding mechanisms clean so that the doors don’t have a tendency to stick.

Folding Doors

Custom shower doors that fold offer a pivot door’s simplicity combined with a sliding door design’s space-saving features. These clever contraptions are often called concertina doors. As they open, they collapse into themselves. The door’s center pivot runs across the guard rail. This is similar to the way sliding doors work and provides smooth opening action. However, just like sliding doors, the slide rail and folding mechanism need to be kept free of debris and clean for maintaining a tight seal and to prevent sticking as well.

Quadrant Enclosures

Normally they are accessed by curved sliding doors or one door. The standard quadrant enclosures comes with two sides that are the same length. However, for homeowners who want a bit of extra space, there are also offset quadrants available. They have one side that is longer.
