About Sliding Tub Doors

Using curtains to cover your bathtub shower can sometimes be a hassle. For one they can develop mildew if you forget to slide them closed. Not to mention you can end up with a lot of water on your bathroom floor. On top of all that, you find your self always dodging it in the shower as it feels like a magnet to your body. As far as design goes shower curtains also don’t add much elegance or decor value to your bathroom. With all of that said installing sliding tub doors in your tub can help with all of these issues.

Types of Sliding Tub Doors

There are really two types of sliding tub doors, framed and frameless. The framed door is edged in metal which is usually aluminum but is available in many finishes including some that resemble gold, brass, chrome allowing you to customize the look and feel of the install. You are also alble to choose between the type of glass you want with options like pebbled, clear, mirrored, tinted and even some options with patterns.
