Sliding Shower Doors

Sliding shower doors are the first of two main shower door types. They function much like sliding doors you’d find elsewhere in a home, such as a patio or decking door. However, they are usually smaller and slimmer, as they don’t need to put up with such intense conditions as the ones exterior doors tend to face throughout the year. However, they do need to cope with high levels of humidity and exhibit exceptional resistance to water exposure.

Sliding shower doors are best suited to larger showers and can come in a number of shapes and sizes. Most are flat and are moved across rails in a straight line towards a second glass panel on your shower. However, curved versions also exist, and these can prove to be an eye-catching addition to modern bathrooms in particular, though certain models will certainly fit in with more traditional aesthetics.

Sliding shower doors will likely prove difficult to install if you have no prior experience to applying them. Contacting an expert may be the best approach. Maintaining your sliding shower door is one of the elements that may set it apart from alternatives, as you’ll need to make sure the rails that the door slides on are clean as well as the door itself.

Getting around the rails and cleaning behind/underneath them may prove difficult with the usual household items, so ensure you purchase the correct equipment, including a sponge, appropriate cleaning solution and protective wear for your hands.
