ABOUT SHOWER DOORS

Shower doors are usually constructed of aluminium framing, with a toughened glass panel. The frames may be finished in white or silver. A very wide variety of shapes and styles is available, including bi-fold or sliding doors, and corner entry. Some shower enclosures now offer curved frames and glass. Some also offer a frameless or semi-frameless design, reducing the amount of framing, and giving an all-glass look.

The leading UK suppliers of shower doors, described below the panel of sponsored links, have comprehensive and informative websites, with information on materials for shower doors, types of shower doors, and installation and maintenance of shower doors.
