The current trend towards minimalist bathrooms has led to sliding shower doors growing increasingly popular. Contemporary bathroom design with a minimalist look offers a sanctuary away from the outside world.
Yet in reality, the concept of bathroom design is a relatively new one, since only a few decades ago bathrooms were seen as functional rooms, but now they are increasingly seen as somewhere that people can relax in and wash away their troubles and stresses.
Many people are wary of becoming too entrenched in the whole minimalist design, in case it starts to look dated in a few years time, necessitating a change of bathroom accessories such as sliding shower doors. But this is the joy of these doors; they effortlessly transform a shower room into a minimalist haven, but due to the fact that these shower doors are classic in design and available with different finishes, e.g. gold or chrome etc, they are timeless. Sliding shower doors create a look that is sleek, angular and then your shower enclosures create the perfect finish to a modern and sophisticated bathroom.
Advantages of a Sliding Shower Door
A sliding shower door has to be fitted in a shower area that is slightly larger than many showers. This is due to the doors needing a wall to slide against. However, if you have the size available, then you will be able to fit sliding shower doors with no problems.
The beauty of a this type of shower door is that it slides against a shower wall, meaning that you don't open the shower doors out into the bathroom. This means that floor space is maximized and more floor area can be given over to the shower as opposed to creating an opening area for outward opening doors.
Another major advantage of sliding shower doors, is that they contain more steam than one of the semi open doors, thereby reducing condensation within the bathroom.
