Merlyn Shower Doors

Choosing a Shower Door from Merlyn

When it comes to choosing a shower door for your bathroom, you are going to want to make sure that your chosen shower door is the right balance of quality, safety and style, and this is where Merlyn shower doors come into play.

A shower door needs to feel secure in everyday use and suit the layout of your bathroom, while still looking right as part of the finished space. By choosing a Merlyn shower door, you also benefit from consistent build quality across the range, with strong guarantees in place to give added peace of mind over time.

Are Merlyn Shower Doors Good Quality?

Merlyn's focus on reliable build quality means they are a popular option with homeowners for daily use. Their manufacturing process offers consistency across the range, with the emphasis on how the doors open, close and perform over time and feel solid when in use.

Why Safety Glass Matters in Merlyn Shower Doors

Safety is a key aspect of choosing the right shower door and with Merlyn it is at the forefront of their ethos. You are going to want to make sure that everyone is able to shower in a space that is safe and secure for them. 

This is why Merlyn designed their shower doors to have safety glass installed and the glass is available in various levels of thickness. For example, the number in their Series collection gives some clue as to the thickness of each glass panel in millimetres. 

Safety glass is designed to be much stronger than regular glass. In the unlikely event it does shatter, then the glass will break up into small dull pieces that are much safer than the sharp shards that a standard glass shower door will break into. 

This type of glass is also more resistant to the temperature fluctuations that we will see in our bathrooms as well as the moisture that comes from the hot water too. 

Are Merlyn Shower Doors Easy to Clean?

All Merlyn glass panels are protected by Mershield as standard. Mershield is a coating that helps to reduce any bathroom build-up, such as soap, limescale and water spots, ensuring cleaning is a lot easier.

Which type of Merlyn shower door is right for my bathroom?

Merlyn has a number of great options in their shower door range, all of which are made to the same high standard. But what are these options and why might you choose them for your shower door?

Pivot Shower Doors

A pivot shower door is a door that opens on a pivot, as a normal door would. These are easy to get in and out of and you can install them into a shower enclosure, or, if you prefer you can also add them to tiled walls to make a shower enclosure.

Sliding Shower Doors

If you are worried that space might be an issue when it comes to having a shower in your bathroom, then a sliding shower door is a great space saving option. These doors slide open, rather than open out into the space, which means that you don't need to worry where the shower enclosure is located in your bathroom.

Quadrant Shower Enclosures

Another space saving option is a quadrant shower enclosure. These are designed to fit into corners, which means that even an awkwardly shaped or sized bathroom can have its very own shower enclosure installed. As well as saving space in your bathroom, quadrant showers have their very own sense of space inside them, this is due to their curved design, which means that they feel spacious and they also look great too.

Low Level Access

If you need showers that are suitable for those who have limited mobility, then you may want to consider the Merlyn low level access shower doors. These are designed to make sure that everyone can easily manoeuvre in and out of the shower and can have the same access as others.
