You use it every day. It’s likely one of the first surfaces you see in the morning or the last at night. As with any bathroom feature, it’s easy to overlook but tough to get right. If you’re remodeling your East Brunswick home, knowing your shower door options will help you make the right choice. Don’t laugh until you’ve seen the difference an informed decision can make! We all know how irritating it is to have low quality facets of our inner sanctum. Okay, now we’re being slightly dramatic. (But we’re still right.)
The Slide vs The Pull
What kind of square footage are we working with, here? If you have a small corner, you likely already know that you won’t be getting a sliding shower door. This means that you need to be extra careful in choosing your pull shower door. There’s nothing more irritating than trying to close the shower from the inside with a misaligned door. You’ll be stuck there while the water drips out. The physics of the whole thing turns into a mess. And while you struggle valiantly, the water turns cold and you still have to rinse off from your morning run. And it’s November. Remember: quality.
Framed or Unframed
This is a bit more on the aesthetic side. Some bathrooms look great with that chrome-colored framing. If it matches the rest of the decor, go for it. others could use a more subtle look, like this version from Otto Home Goods. It would fit in better with a wood-heavy decor. Or a more matte look. Oh! You could even slip these into an oil-rubbed bronze paradise.
Glass Choices
That tempered glass shower door might actually have some options beyond whether it slides or it pulls open. Some models will have a more frosted look. Honestly, unless you want to answer that phone call from 1982, you may want to think twice about them though. Sure, smooth glass has a little but of upkeep involved. But the see-through material will make the bathroom look so much larger and feel less claustrophobic.
If you’re choosing to remodel your bathroom, remember that you can always ask for advice or expert opinions on even the smallest details (like those shower doors).
