The Choice of Shower Doors

March 17th, 2010

Initially, the concept of buying shower doors - either as a replacement or as part of a new bathroom renovation - seems straight-forward. Surprisingly, however, this is quite far from the truth, as there are a wide range of choices available when it comes to choosing a suitable shower door.

The shape of your bath or shower area will determine the options available to you. Although an obvious point, people commonly find themselves leaning towards shower doors that are unsuitable for their shower, as other options seem more practical or simply better looking than the doors that will fit their current set-up. It is often this scenario that prompts those just looking for a replacement shower door to instead undergo a complete bathroom renovation, as the advances in shower doors offer more practicality and innovative aesthetics when compared to older models.

Amongst those stocked here at Bathroom2u are quadrant, sliding, hinge, pivot and bifold shower doors, which are designed to suit an array of shower designs. For example, a quadrant shower door is suitable for a rounded corner shower, whereas hinge shower doors are structured to be opened like any other door.

The space available in your bathroom is also another factor to consider, as well as the preferred material: glass, or plastic. Inswing shower doors are ideal for a smaller bathroom space, as the door is opened into the shower rather than the space in the room.

With such a diverse range available to suit any requirements, make us at Bathroom2u your first port of call for shower doors and any other bathroom accessories.

Shower Enclosures – Simple Showering

February 5th, 2010

Many people opt for a quick and easy shower over a time-consuming bath nowadays. Shower enclosures allow for quick, simple bathing, and the industry now provides a wide selection of shower enclosures, as well as a range of shower doors, so that you can choose and design the ideal shower for your bathroom.

Shower enclosures act as an independent shower unit, and an alternative to bath shower units. They consist of a shower tray surrounded by glass walls, and are fixed to a corner or wall of your bathroom. Shower enclosures will have one or two shower doors, of which there are a number of styles to suit particular requirements.

The advantages of shower enclosures are that they provide a fast and simple way to bathe, and can be economical on space should you choose a shower enclosure instead of a bath. Furthermore, they can have a real impact on your bathroom design. Choosing the right shower doors for your enclosure is essential. For example, inswing, bifold and sliding shower doors are ideal for the smaller bathroom since they do not open outwards and utilise valuable space. Pivot and hinge doors on the other hand do open outwards, but allow for excellent accessibility. Quadrant shower enclosures are curved, and give a particularly contemporary feel to your bathroom. They have sliding doors and are again economical on space.

At Bathroom2u we understand the need for safe and simple showering, and have shower enclosures and shower doors to fit the size and design of any bathroom.

Shower Doors To Suit Your Space

January 29th, 2010

Creating your perfect bathroom space requires careful consideration and planning, to ensure that you are get the most out of your bathroom both practically and aesthetically. Shower doors are a bathroom feature that can have a big bearing on how you space is utilized, and at Bathroom2u we have a range of shower doors available to suit any bathroom size.

If your bathroom is small, the last thing you want after showering is to have to manoeuvre your way awkwardly around the shower door. Rather than having an outward opening door, which will use up necessary space, opt for either an ‘inswing’, bi-fold or sliding shower door. ‘Inswing’ doors open inwards, whereas bi-fold doors tuck neatly to the side of the shower enclosure. Bi-fold and sliding doors are particularly good if your shower enclosure is small, as an ‘inswing’ door may make exiting the shower difficult.

Quadrant shower doors are sliding and economical on space thanks to their curved shape. They not only look stylish, but allow the shower enclosure to fit neatly into the corner of the bathroom.

Pivot and hinge shower doors are suitable for larger bathrooms, since they open outwards. The advantage of this is that they give easy access to the shower, so are particularly suitable for anyone with specific access requirements.

At Bathroom2u we have shower doors in a range of styles and designs, so whatever the size of your bathroom, you can easily find the shower door to suit you. It is attention to detail and getting the basics just right which can make your bathroom really special.

Bath Screens And Shower Doors - Save Your Floor From A Soaking

January 5th, 2010

Shower curtains can be more of a hindrance than a help when showering, since they have a tendency to stick to you. They can build up mildew, which can make them an unattractive feature of your bathroom. They can also be fairly ineffective at keeping your bathroom floor from getting wet.

Bath shower screens fit to the wall beside the bath to protect the floor from shower spray, and come in fixed panel single screens or folding screens that tuck neatly away against the wall.

Shower doors come in a variety of styles, and your choice can be highly reliant on space as well as preference.  If you have a small bathroom, inswing doors which open inwards, and bi-fold doors which fold much like the folding bath screen, are an ideal choice as they door not take up space in the way that outward folding doors do. Sliding doors are again effective in this way. Quadrant shower doors are sliding, and also have a stylish curve that looks modern and allows you to fit the enclosure neatly into a corner.

The advantage of outward swinging hinge or pivot shower doors is that they allow for easy accessibility and are very convenient if your bathroom has space.

At Bathroom2u, our bath screens and shower doors come with toughened safety glass, and are available in a selection of styles. We have the latest bath shower screens, as well as a superb range of shower doors that will keep you floor dry and improve the look of your bathroom.
