Different Types Of Custom Shower Glass Options In Algonquin

Deciding to install custom shower glass doors is a great way to give your bathroom a new look, show off our shower style, or increase space in your bathroom.  Creating custom shower doors is easier than you think!  Choosing your custom shower glass doors can be quite daunting but it really comes down to the space you have, the type of door you want, and the elements of your shower.  These three things are going to determine the new shower doors in your Algonquin home.

Choosing Your Style

There are several different kinds of shower doors that you can consider installing into your home. Here is a quick little guide that you can use as a reference for style and terminology when it comes to your shower door.

Bypass Doors:  Bypass doors is pretty much another name for sliding doors.  These doors are usually comprised of 2 or 3 doors that lay on a track and open by sliding them from one end to the other. There is no denying that this is the most common type of glass shower door in most Algonquin, Illinois bathrooms.  This doesn’t mean they can’t be custom.  Different patterns and concepts can be made into the doors and different hardware choices can make your sliding shower doors stand out from all the others.

Pivot Doors:  When you are considering pivot doors you are thinking about doors that open into the bathroom.  One of the biggest things to think about is space in the bathroom and whether there is enough room for the door to swing open.  However, depending on the size of your shower these doors can be made to swing in or out of the shower.

Round Doors:  Round shower doors usually open inward.  These doors are typically found in smaller corner showers or stand alone showers, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be any less ornate.  Round shower doors can be made in order to fit a custom size or direction you want the doors to swing.  Furthermore, round shower doors are usually attached to round showers which will increase the size of your shower.

There are two common types of shower doors that are most commonly found in bathrooms today as well.   The first are known as frame shower doors. Framed shower doors are made by attaching the doors to a different kind of hardware like aluminum and metal.  These shower doors are most commonly found in older homes but can be just as nice.  Frameless doors are a stand-alone feature. Frameless doors are considered to be more modern and sleek. You can find these shower doors in renovated homes or hotels these days.
