Shower Doors

Modernize Your Bathroom with Premium Bathroom Fixtures Whitby

In the ever-evolving landscape of bathroom fixtures, the traditional era of shower curtains is gradually fading away. Modern homeowners in Whitby are embracing a more sophisticated and efficient solution—shower doors. At Plumbing & Parts Home Centre, we understand the evolving needs of our customers, and our diverse range of shower doors aims to elevate both functionality and style in your bathroom.

​

Shower doors stand out as a superior alternative to curtains for several reasons. They add a touch of elegance to your bathroom and effectively prevent water from splashing onto the floor, safeguarding surfaces from potential damage. The result is a cleaner, more organized bathroom space that exudes luxury.

​

For over 40 years, we have offered expert guidance to help you choose the ideal shower door for your bathroom. At Plumbing & Parts Home Centre, we are Whitby's premier destination for bathroom fixtures. Contact us today to style your bathroom with premium quality bathroom fixtures.

Types of Shower Doors

Several types of shower doors differ based on their opening mechanisms. These include:
 

  • Sliding doors: As the name suggests, they open by sliding them. They are a space-saving addition to smaller bathrooms.

  • Double sliding doors: Consisting of 2 sliding doors, they offer the flexibility to switch the opening side.

  • Fixed doors: These doors are just glass screens that can’t be opened or moved. They come in half and full-door configurations, and based on your shower space, whether it has walls on either side or is open, you can choose between them.

  • Folding doors: These doors have glass panels that fold inwards to allow access. If you have a tight space or a narrow entrance, bifold doors can be a space-saving substitute for sliding doors.

  • Hinged doors: These doors have hinges on the side that allow them to swing outwards. Going for leak-resistant and stainless-steel hinged doors is important to ensure better results.

  • Pivot doors: These are similar to hinged doors except they swing both inwards and outwards. These, too, are a great fit for bathrooms with narrow entrances.

Glass Options

The glass panels of shower doors are available in 3 different options:

​

  • Clear glass: It allows for more light and creates the illusion of a bigger space.

  • Frosted glass: It offers more privacy and hides any water stains.

  • Patterned glass: It enhances the bathroom's aesthetics and makes it more luxurious.

Frame Options

Based on your budget and style preferences, you can choose from the following:

​

  • Framed doors: Since these doors are supported by metal frames, they use thinner glass which makes them a budget-friendly option.

  • Frameless doors: They are incredibly sleek and modern and consist of high-quality tempered glass, making them costly.

  • Semi-frameless doors: They fall somewhere in the middle of the price spectrum as they give a frameless feel while offering the support of a metal frame from either the top and bottom or the sides of the door.

Factors to Consider When Getting a Shower Door

If you plan to get a shower door in Whitby, Durham region, or the GTA, Plumbing & Parts Home Centre is the place for you. Have a look at a few factors that you must keep in mind when you buy a shower door:
 

  • Size of your bathroom
    Consider the dimensions of your bathroom when selecting a shower door. A larger bathroom may accommodate a more expansive or pivot-style door, while a smaller space might benefit from a sliding.

  • Bathroom layout to match the door configuration
    The layout of your bathroom plays a crucial role in determining the ideal door configuration. Ensure the chosen door style complements your bathroom space's overall design and layout.

  • Type of showering space
    Assess the layout of your shower space. A hinged or pivot door might be suitable if your shower is between walls on either side. Consider a sliding or frameless door in an open shower for a modern and spacious feel.

  • Material and thickness of the glass
    The glass's material and thickness are important for safety and aesthetics. Opt for high-quality tempered glass, which enhances durability and safety. Different glass thicknesses are available, and the choice depends on personal preference.

  • Hardware finishes in your bathroom
    Coordinate the hardware finishes of the shower door with the existing fixtures in your bathroom. Choosing a balanced finish creates an aesthetic look for your bathroom.
