Sliding Shower Doors

Choosing the most suitable shower doors to suit your shower is essential to avoid the disastrous consequences of water or steam damage and whatever type of shower doors you opt for, they need to provide a watertight seal. Of the choices available, sliding shower doors are the most common as they are easy to use and are ideal for smaller bathrooms or where space is limited because they do not require additional room to open and close. Sliding shower doors operate by sliding sideways along a track or rail which runs parallel to the walls of the shower. Although easy to use, the slide tracks are liable to collect dirt, therefore require regular cleaning. Sliding shower doors (also known as bypass shower doors) have enjoyed popularity for centuries and the latest models afford all the style and refinement you expect from your shower doors combined with expertise in design and manufacture.

The majority of sliding shower doors are rectangular in shape and can range in size from 700 mm to 1700 mm, therefore there is one to suit the particular requirements of your bathroom. Another style option which offers a curvaceous appeal is the quadrant sliding shower door and the bifold sliding door, both of which are available from Merlyn, a highly reputable manufacturer of shower doors. All models of sliding shower doors are manufactured to a high level of quality and made from toughened glass of either 6 mm or 8 mm to ensure both durability and safety in the bathroom. For those consumers wishing to maximise the space their shower enclosure affords, there are optional side panels which can be purchased to match. Chrome seals and handles add to the crisp, clean and contemporary feel these sliding shower doors lend and with a price to match every budget, there is sure to be the perfect choice for your bathroom.
