Whether you’re looking for a way to make a smaller bathroom feel larger, or want to spruce up your home’s industrial look, installing a glass shower enclosure is the perfect solution.
Frameless shower enclosures feature unframed sheets of glass with aluminum framing on some or all edges. They are a popular choice for minimalistic bathrooms and match most decor styles.
Frameless
Frameless shower enclosures are a great way to enhance the look and feel of your bathroom. They make it appear more spacious and airy, and they also draw attention to other design elements in the room.
They are also a great choice for bathrooms with smaller spaces because they allow you to open up the room more easily. They are also easier to clean than their framed counterparts.
These enclosures are typically made from tempered glass that comes separate from the frame, and is glazed into a metal channel on sight using gaskets or silicone. This makes it less likely to collect mineral deposits and corrode as the metal does with a framed door.
Hinged
Hinged shower enclosures are a popular choice because they blend seamlessly into the wall, and they’re easy to clean. They also offer a more traditional look and can be custom designed with various hardware options.
Framed - A framed shower door is constructed with aluminum framing that encases the glass edges. This type of construction is often less expensive than frameless designs, and it allows for thinner glass to be used on the shower enclosure.
Semi-frameless - A semi-frameless shower door is a hybrid design that blends the modern, flowing look of a frameless enclosure with the durability and safety of a traditional framed unit. Slightly thinner glass can be used on this type of enclosure, and it can be paired with quality hinges for ease of movement in either direction.
Sliding
A sliding industrial shower enclosure is an easy way to bring a modern touch to your bathroom. These units are made with large rollers and sleek hardware that complement a variety of decor styles.
Hinged doors can give you a wider entryway, which is ideal for people who need access to the shower from a wheelchair. However, they can be more difficult to clean compared to sliding doors.
Framed sliding doors are hard to clean since the bottom metal track where the rollers sit can collect soap water, grime and rust.
These doors also require more hardware, making them more expensive than hinged ones. In addition, they can be harder to install.
Bi-Fold
A bi-fold industrial
shower enclosure is a great space saving solution for many different types of bathrooms. They can be found in both exterior and interior applications.
External - This is the most popular use of this type of door, as it helps maximise the amount of natural light a room gets. Additionally, they are highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions.
Internal - A bi-fold is a great choice for small interior spaces, such as laundry rooms or kitchen pantries. They take up much less space than french doors or conventional sliding doors.
Durovin Bathrooms offers a large range of bi-fold shower doors to fit any size of space. We recommend measuring your space to find out the ideal size of bi-fold you need.
Glass
The type of glass you choose for your industrial shower enclosure will affect the overall look of the bathroom. Choosing clear glass can give your shower walls a crisp, clean appearance and increase light in the room.
Frosted or textured glass is another option for a more decorative style. Frosting adds a sense of depth to the glass, while also minimizing fingerprints and smudges.
A frosted glass door is an excellent choice for a multi-person home, especially if you are concerned about someone looking into your shower without your knowledge.
Modern shower doors can be made with laminated glass, which is a safety glazing product that consists of two pieces of glass that are sandwiched together with a plastic interlayer. This makes the panel safe from breakage, reducing the chance of injury or shards entering the bathroom.
