I. Shower Door

Also called Alcove or Stand-Alone, this type of shower door is best for those bathrooms which have the shower built into the wall. Among our selection of shower doors, you will find the traditional framed door and frameless doors, which offer more of a modern look.

II. Bathtub Door

The bathtub door is best suited for shower and tub combinations. You’ll notice as you browse through our selection of bathtub doors that there are two types of doors.

• Partial Door: One version is a partial bathtub door. This type only reaches to part of the length of the bathtub, preventing the escape of water from the area around the shower head. this type of door gives your bathroom a modern minimalist feel.
• Full-length Door: The other type of bathtub door you will find is the traditional full length door that reaches the entire length of the tub.

II. Shower Enclosures

Also known as a corner installation, these doors are great for those bathrooms that only have two walls that form a right angle to accommodate your shower instead of an alcove. You will find three different shapes to choose from:

• Right Angle Enclosure: As the name suggests, right angle enclosures create a rectangular or square shape once installed and are great if you are looking to replace a bathtub.
• Neo Angle Enclosure: The neo angle enclosure creates a shape that resembles a baseball diamond or Superman symbol. This is a perfect space-saving solution for smaller bathrooms.
• Quarter Round Enclosure: The quarter round enclosure may also be considered a neo angle closure. However, instead of having straight outer edges, the quarter round enclosure features a beautiful curve. This is a great choice for smaller bathrooms where you are looking to conserve space.

I. Swinging Shower Doors

Also known as hinged or pivot doors, this door opening does exactly as the name suggests and swings outward. These types of doors are great for bathrooms which have ample room to accommodate an open door. You can find a swinging door with multiple panels for larger shower openings or single panels for small showers. The Allure collection from DreamLine is a great example of what a beautiful swinging door.

II. Sliding Shower Doors

A sliding shower door does as the name suggests as well and slides along a track. One type of sliding shower door you might find combines one or more stationary panel with a sliding panel. Another type is called a bypass door. This type of door is made of of two separate panels that can each slide all the way to the right or left right over each other, allowing you to enter the shower from any side. Sliding doors are a fabulous solution for smaller bathrooms that don’t have enough room for a swinging door. For a great example of flawless sliding doors, check out our Enigma collection from DreamLine.

III. Bi-fold Shower Doors

The accordian-like bi-fold shower door is another space saving solution. Instead of folding outwards and taking up precious bathroom space like a swinging shower door, the bi-fold door slides and folds into the shower space, leaving you free to move about with plenty of room outside of the shower. Be sure to browse our Butterfly collection from DreamLine for a great selection of bi-fold shower doors.

How to Measure for a Shower or Bathtub Door

•  To get the width, measure from wall to wall in three places.

A. Top: 72″ above the shower base

B. Bottom: Shower base

C. Middle: Half the distance of A & B

• Check for straight (plumb) walls with a level.
• Once you measure A, B, & C and find that they are the same and the walls are straight, order a door to fit the width you got.
• If those three measurements are not equal or the walls are not straight, make sure to order a door that is can be adjusted to fit out-of-plumb walls.
