Hinged Shower Doors
Hinged shower doors are a practical and stylish choice for creating a spacious shower enclosure. They work much like a standard door, opening outwards or sometimes inwards on fixed hinges, giving you a wide, easy entry into your shower. Their design makes them especially convenient for those with mobility issues, offering effortless access and extra room to step in and out. These hinged doors are best suited for larger bathrooms, as they require enough room for their outward or inward swing. Crafted from high-quality, durable glass and sturdy frames, they’re designed to last and are available in a range of finishes, including sleek matt black and brushed brass.

FAQs
What is the difference between a hinged and pivot shower door?
A hinged shower door swings open on fixed hinges, like a regular door.
A pivot shower door, on the other hand, pivots on points at the top and bottom of the door rather than along the edge. Similar to hinged doors, this allows it to open inwards or outwards.
What is the difference between a hinged and sliding shower door?
Rather than swinging on hinges, sliding shower doors move along a track, gliding to the side to open. They don’t take up additional room, making them ideal for smaller bathrooms or tight spaces.
How can I make a shower enclosure?
Once you've selected your hinged shower door, you'll need a few other key parts to complete your shower enclosure, including:
- Side panels (if needed) – If your shower isn't recessed (installed between two walls), you'll need side panels to fully enclose the shower area.
- Shower tray – The shower tray forms the base of your enclosure, providing a sturdy, water-tight surface for the shower area.
- Shower waste – This is the drain that ensures water flows out efficiently from the shower tray. It's an essential part of keeping your enclosure dry and hygienic.
- Shower kit – This includes the functional components like a shower head, valve, and slide rail.
