In the realm of bathroom improvement projects, few endeavours are as pivotal as shower door installation. The quality of this installation not only affects the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom but also plays a crucial role in functionality and longevity.

CTM are the go-to destination for quality shower door installations, accessories and products across the nation.

Different Types Of Shower Doors

When embarking on a shower door installation project, understanding the different types available is paramount:

  • Framed vs. Frameless Shower Doors: Framed doors feature metal framing around the glass panels, providing structural support and a classic look, while frameless doors offer a sleek, modern aesthetic with minimal hardware.
  • Sliding vs. Hinged/Pivot Shower Doors: Sliding doors are ideal for smaller bathrooms, maximising space, while hinged or pivot doors offer a wide opening for easier access.

It is important to take these factors into consideration as well, when selecting the right shower door.

  • Size and Layout: Ensure the door fits your shower space properly and complements its layout.
  • Style Preferences: Choose a door that aligns with your bathroom's design aesthetic.
  • Budget Constraints: Balance quality and affordability to find the best option for your needs.
