A Simple Guide to Help You Choose the Right Shower Door
Choosing the right shower door is one of the many things you’ll have to decide on when revamping the look of your bathroom. But then, with so many options available in the market, you may be hard-pressed to select the right one for your upgraded space.
Today, Total Bath Systems, one of the top shower and bathtub installation contractors, shares a simple guide to help you make an informed decision on selecting a shower door.
Choosing the Shower Door Style
Look at the space where the shower door will go. Then, consider the style that will meet your needs. One popular style is the pivoting door. Also known as the swinging or hinged door, it is the right fit for narrow stall showers and can be framed, semi-framed or frameless. If you don’t like swinging the door out, you may consider a sliding or bypass door. It is a practical choice for narrow bathrooms with closely-spaced fixtures, as well as for tub enclosures.
Measuring the Space for the Door
Bathtub replacement contractors recommend the “measure twice, order once” approach when making your shower door choice. Take careful measurements of the shower opening to ensure the door you desire will fit the space. A shower door should have a maximum width that is equal to or greater than the maximum width of the tub or shower opening.
Picking the Shower Glass
If privacy is a priority, choose patterned or textured glass for your shower door. Clear glass, however, is a great choice if you want natural light coming from your bathroom window brighten up the whole room, including the shower or tub area.
Selecting the Hardware Finish
Look around your bathroom and decide whether or not you want your shower door’s hardware to match the existing finishes. Depending on your budget, you can also choose to purchase new coordinating items to add to your bathroom’s visual appeal.

Customer Reviews
Chuck was a very good salesman explained everything clearly and very helpful.
Brandon was very knowledgeable, professional and made the process very easy to get our new bathroom installation setup. I highly recommend using him.
To be fair I did not have an installation done - strictly because I won’t decide under pressure - the option was to save almost 5k by committing immediately at the time of consultation (I still had 2 other vendors coming the same day to consult). But 5 stars for Brandon- he was on top of his game!
Brandon was great during our consultation- very clear and friendly, provided honest feedback, and he never pressured us into buying anything.
Walter was the most professional representative ever. His knowledge and presentation was exceptional. He was extremely courteous and responsive to all our questions. Highly recommended!
