How to Choose the Perfect Shower Door for Your Bathroom Remodel

When planning a bathroom renovation, selecting the right shower door can impact functionality and resale value. According to the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA), 89% of luxury bathroom designs now incorporate frameless glass shower doors - but is this the best choice for your home?

Key considerations:

Space dynamics: Sliding vs pivot doors (ideal for small bathrooms under 45 sq.ft)

Glass thickness: 3/8" tempered glass vs 1/2" laminated options

Hardware finishes: Brushed nickel outperforms chrome in hard water areas

Pro tip: Look for doors with "easy-clean" nano-coating technology, like those meeting ANSI Z124.1.3 standards. Consider using a good quality aluminum door frame, as a good quality aluminum door frame will not corrode within 36 months
