FAQ's
- What is a hinged shower door & can you install it in small bathroom?
Hinged doors feature hinges for opening and closing. The side mounted hinges allow the door to swing outward, inward or both, offering a wide access to the enclosure. It can be used in small size bathrooms, provided there is space for door clearance to fully open outward. For bathrooms with limited space, sliding or bifold shower doors are better alternatives. Sliding & Bifold option, slide or fold along fixed tracks, and don't need any space for the door to swing open. They are a clear winner when you have compact bathroom with limited floor space.
