3 Benefits of Sliding Glass Shower Doors for Your Bathroom

Whether your bathroom is traditionally-styled or ultra-modern, sliding glass shower doors appear as sophisticated as they are functional – making them a great addition to any New Zealand bathroom! But, if you’re not sure about purchasing a sliding glass shower door to enhance your bathroom space, here are three benefits you’ll miss out on if you don’t.

1. Space Efficiency

Sliding glass shower doors are a wonderful solution for bathrooms with limited space. Where hinged doors swing outwards and require space clearance, sliding shower doors move along a track, fitted parallel to the shower opening. They require zero space clearance, and maximise the usable space inside and outside of your shower. As such, not only can you navigate your bathroom without obstructions, you avoid it feeling cluttered and cramped, which would impact your enjoyment of your home.

2. Enhanced Light

It’s inarguable – sliding glass shower doors have a sleek, contemporary look that improves your bathroom design and opens it up to more enhanced light. Many bathrooms suffer from being too shadowed or dark, especially if hinged doors are taking up a lot of space. Sliding doors appear seamless, open and inviting; they don’t overpower a bathroom, big or small, and when made of premium-quality glass, allow natural light to flow through the space. Natural light brightens your bathroom and highlights the often-overlooked features of your shower – the tile work and metallic fixtures, for example.

3. Easy Maintenance

The fact that sliding shower doors are made of ‘glass’ might be off-putting to potential purchasers, though it shouldn’t be! It may please you to know that glass shower doors are actually very durable, because they’re created from tempered glass. Tempered glass has been treated to increase its strength, and has a very low risk of chipping and breaking over time. Assuredly, your sliding glass shower door will look amazing and perform well for a long time – especially because it’s also easy to clean and maintain!

Glass shower doors are less prone to mold and mildew which can accumulate on shower curtains. When treated with water-repellent coatings, they can also resist unseemly water spots and the development of soap scum, which saves you plenty of scrubbing in the future.

There’s not much cleaning required to keep your shower door in good condition, but when the need arises, you’ll only have to acquire a microfibre cloth and a glass-specific household cleaner. Alternatively, DIY your very own cleaning solution with an equal solution of white vinegar and water – it’s up to you!
