Popular Sizes for Corner Shower Doors

To fit a variety of bathroom layouts and unique space requirements, corner shower doors are manufactured in many different sizes. Some of the most popular height and width combinations include:

• (H) 760mm x (W) 760mm
• (H) 800mm x (W) 800mm
• (H) 900mm x (W) 800mm
• (H) 900mm x (W) 900mm
• (H) 1000mm x (W) 800mm

If the size you need is not listed above, use the filters on this page to search the full range by width and depth.

To measure your corner: measure the width of each wall from the corner outward at floor level and at 1800mm height. Use the smaller figure if the two measurements differ, and allow 10-15mm tolerance for walls that are not perfectly plumb.

Factors to Consider When Shopping for a Corner Shower Door

Before you settle on a particular corner shower door for your bathroom, there are a number of factors that we'd like you to consider, including:

Tray Compatibility

The first and arguably most important factor that you need to consider is the compatibility between your existing shower tray (if you have one) and the corner shower door you're thinking of buying. This is crucial for achieving a secure and watertight installation.

Shower Door Type

Sliding corner shower doors are better suited to tighter spaces as the panels move within the frame footprint, requiring no additional swing clearance. Pivot corner shower doors require approximately 600-700mm of clear swing space but provide a wider opening. Check the product specification for the door type and clearance required before purchasing.

Height and Width

To suit different layouts and corner spaces, corner shower doors are manufactured in different height and width combinations. So, carefully measure your space and choose a model with dimensions that are suitable for you. This is also key for effective water containment and secure installation.

Glass Thickness

The thickness of the glass will have a direct impact on the strength, durability, and overall feel of your corner shower door. Since all models are made using toughened safety glass, the thickness that you choose shouldn't necessarily be determined by the safety factor, but rather by your personal preference and the look you want to achieve in your bathroom.

Frame Finish

Corner shower doors are available in three frame finishes: chrome (the most popular, suits most bathroom styles), matt black (suits contemporary and industrial designs), and brushed nickel (suits transitional and traditional bathrooms). Matt black and brushed nickel finishes require non-abrasive cleaners to maintain their appearance. Avoid bleach-based products on these finishes.

Corner vs Bi-Fold Shower Doors: Which Door Type is Better?

Corner shower doors and bi-fold shower doors are two of the most popular choices for compact bathrooms and en-suites where space is limited. Both work efficiently in smaller layouts but suit different installation types and space constraints..

To help you decide which of the two options is the better choice for you, go through the scenarios below and see which one is most relevant to you.

Choose a Corner Shower Door If:

• You want to make use of unused corner space
• You prefer a more enclosed showering area
• Your bathroom layout suits a corner installation
• You're looking for a wide choice of door styles and sizes

Choose a Bi-Fold Shower Door If:

• You have a very small shower opening with limited clearance
• You're fitting out a compact bathroom or en-suite
• Space efficiency is your top priority
• You want easy access without obstructing nearby fixtures

How to Install a Corner Shower Door Correctly

Corner shower doors can be a little bit tricky to install, especially if you lack previous experience installing shower doors. While the exact process will vary from model to model, here are the general steps that you need to take to achieve a secure fit and a proper installation:

• Measure the corner width and depth at floor level and at 1800mm height
• Check walls are plumb, as most doors accommodate up to 5-10mm deviation
• Mark and drill fixing points for wall profiles
• Attach wall profiles and check for level
• Hang door panels and adjust rollers or hinges
• Apply sanitary silicone to all internal joints
• Test door movement and water seal before use

If your walls are out of plumb by more than 10mm, additional preparation, such as re-plastering or packing, will be required before installation. Professional fitting is recommended if you are unsure about wall construction or fixing into tiled surfaces.

Maintenance and Cleaning Tips for Corner Shower Doors

To maintain the brand-new appearance and smooth functionality of your corner shower door, regular maintenance and cleaning are necessary. The good news is that most corner shower doors require very little upkeep. All you typically need to do to keep your corner shower door in great condition includes:

• Wipe down the glass after every shower, ideally using a squeegee
• Clean the glass on a regular basis using a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution
• Keep the tracks, hinges, and seals free from soap residue and debris
• Check the fixings and hardware regularly to ensure the door is stable and secure
