When considering a bathroom remodel, many people neglect the shower door and enclosure and focus instead on the size of the tub or the amount of bathroom storage. The team at Tremain Corporation, an experienced remodeling contractor in Indianapolis, IN, encourages residents to add a bit more weight to the decision, as it affects the appearance and functionality of the space. Here, they discuss some of the most popular design options available.

Beautiful & Functional Shower Doors to Consider

1. Sliding Doors

Sliding or "bypass doors" roll back and forth along tracks mounted on the floor, on the lip of the enclosure, or along the top of the tub. They usually consist of either two or three panels that slide past, or bypass, each other, which you can adjust as you like to cover the shower entrance entirely. These require more space than pivot doors do because they comprise multiple panels.

2. Pivot Doors

Swinging doors have hinges and pivot open from one side like a traditional door. You can mount it to have it swivel inward or outward, depending on your space requirements.

3. Frameless Doors

The classic shower door is made of glass mounted in an aluminum frame. The alternative is a more modern innovation that opts for a more curved or pivot style, attached to the enclosure with hinges. The lack of frame gives the door an airy, less bulky aesthetic and enlarges the appearance of the bathroom.
