Contemporary bathroom comes complete with state-of-the-art amenities. From the toilet seats down to the tiles, everything is designed according to one’s personal style and preference. One important area of the bathroom that no one would ever miss to transform is the shower. It is enclosed in a stylish partition and a shower door crafted of glass, which comes in an assortment of hues like reflective, tinted, clear, chipped, reeded, powder coated, or frosted. This also comes in a variety of designs, and of the most common are the framed type and the frameless type. While there can be a variety of options to choose from, the bathroom style must be taken into consideration before you purchase anything.

Weigh your preference according to the availability of space and layout of your bathroom. How the shower door will actually open is always an important consideration. A folding shower door, for instance, has to open outwards in order to avoid being trapped inside. And since it opens outwards, you have to allot a sufficient space when you do that so as not to hit any bathroom fixtures like cabinets or sink.

For limited bathroom space, it is recommended to style your shower area with a sliding or bypass shower door. It can be fitted to a shower stall or over a bathtub and glides along the tracks through the use of rollers. While such door style is said to be space-saving, cleaning is however a little bit tricky since the overlapping panels can trap dirt in the tracks. If you think this will only cause you headaches, you may want to choose an accordion style trackless shower door. If your bathroom has a corner shower stall, a neo angle or pivot shower door style can best fit in the bathroom space.

Now after choosing the best style for your shower door, it would be great to match the style of your shower door with a stylish finish. Typically, shower doors come in framed type. If it’s the style of your shower door, then you may choose from brushed nickel, satin chrome or polished aluminum door finish. Since contemporary bathroom appeals to your taste, it is best to match your shower area with a frameless tempered glass shower door. This type of shower door welcomes light for a more spacious ambiance. Keeping it clean is also another good thing about having a frameless glass door type.

Since bathroom is often the most visited area of your home, it therefore has to be kept clean to achieve its maximum service life. That is why proper care for the bathroom, especially the shower door must always take place. The market offers you a wide array of cleaning products according to the type of shower door you have at home. You can choose from glass cleaning agents, non-corrosive shower door sealants, tarnish removers, metal polish, and water stain removers, which should be applied daily in order to protect your shower door from future tarnishing, and to keep it pleasant and hygienic.
