How to Choose the Right Hinged Shower Door
Choosing the right hinged shower door for your bathroom is key not only for achieving a secure and watertight fit, but also for meeting your aesthetic requirements. To help you choose the right hinged shower door, here are some of the steps that you need to take:
Ensure Compatibility
Not all hinged shower doors are designed the same way. So, before you settle on a particular option, make sure that it's fully compatible with your current shower setup. This includes your shower tray, shower opening, and the available space around the door.
Choose the Right Door Size
Choosing the correct door size for your space is crucial for achieving a watertight and secure fit. To make sure you buy a shower door that's suitable for your space, take accurate measurements of your shower opening before making a purchase.
Pick a Frame Finish You Like
If you're trying to achieve a particular aesthetic in your bathroom, don't forget to consider the frame finish of your hinged shower door. At Heat and Plumb, our hinged shower doors are available in chrome, black, and brushed brass finishes, giving you plenty of options to choose from.
Select the Right Glass Thickness
The glass thickness of your hinged shower door will not only affect how it looks and feels, but also how strong and durable it is during everyday use. So, carefully consider your needs and requirements, and choose a hinged shower door with a glass thickness that works for you.
Think About Long-Term Maintenance
While hinged shower doors are relatively easy to maintain and keep clean, they still require some time and effort to look good and function properly. So, carefully consider the maintenance requirements of the hinged shower door you're thinking of buying before doing so.
Hinged Shower Doors vs Pivot Shower Doors
Hinged and pivot shower doors are two of the most popular choices among UK homeowners. If you're also trying to decide between the two types of shower doors, we're going to help you make the most informed decision by providing you with several scenarios where one is better than the other and vice versa.
Choose a Hinged Shower Door If:
- You want easy and unobstructed access to the shower area
- You have enough floor space for the door to swing fully open
- You prefer a more traditional door-opening style
- You have a large bathroom where space isn't restricted
Choose a Pivot Shower Door If:
- You want a door that can open inwards, outwards, or in both directions
- You prefer a simple yet durable opening mechanism
- You're looking for a practical solution that's easy to use
- You want more control over how the door opens within your bathroom
Tips for Installing a Hinged Shower Door Correctly
Installing your hinged shower door correctly is important for achieving a professional finish and a secure, watertight fit. To help you avoid some of the most common mistakes and make the installation process smoother, here are a couple of extra tips that you should keep in mind:
- Check that there's enough clearance for the door to open fully
- Confirm the door's opening direction before installation
- Make sure the hinge side is fixed to a solid wall or a suitable support structure
- Adjust the hinges carefully to ensure the door closes evenly and seals properly
- Test the door's swing and alignment before tightening everything permanently
How to Keep Your Hinged Shower Door in Great Condition
Most hinged shower doors require very little upkeep to look good and function properly. Still, you need to regularly care for them to preserve their appearance and ensure smooth operation for many years to come.
While the exact maintenance process will vary from model to model, here are a couple of general maintenance tips that'll make a big difference over time:
- Wipe down the glass after every shower, preferably using a squeegee
- Clean the glass regularly using a soft cloth and a suitable cleaning solution
- Check the hinges and fixings from time to time to ensure they remain secure
- If you notice any signs of wear or damage, address the issue as soon as possible
