Everything You Need to Know Before Your Shower Door Installation
Dec 27, 2022

Installing a shower door is not something to take lightly. When you're looking into hiring a professional, there are a few important things to know before your shower door installation begins. Here's everything you need to know to have a new shower door successfully installed.


1. Get a Proper Measurement


Measure the area accurately where the new shower door installation will take place. This will help you determine the size and style of shower door that will fit best. According to The Spruce, the standard sliding glass shower door is 60 inches wide. Note any irregularities in the space, including corners or other protrusions, so you can select a compatible design.


2. Select the Right Style


From frameless to framed, there are many shower door styles to choose from. Consider your bathroom's aesthetic, budget, and space before selecting a style. Frameless shower doors offer a modern look but typically cost more due to their glass panels that must be cut and customized on site. Consider the door angle when open and ensure you have ample space to move around it. Consider a sliding door if your bathroom is small.


3. Choose Appropriate Hardware


Finding the right hardware is an important part of the design process. It can be chosen in finishes that match other bathroom fixtures and hardware, such as towel bars, door handles, and faucets. Consider selecting a neutral finish, such as brushed nickel or chrome, for a timeless and classic look.


4. Follow the Correct Installation Process


Each type of shower door has a different installation process. It's best to work with a professional for your shower door installation. When hiring a professional installer, research their reviews and credentials to check that they're qualified and experienced.


5. Prepare for Cleaning and Maintenance


Once your shower door installation is complete, you should clean the surface with a glass cleaner to remove any residue from the installation process. After that, regular maintenance will help ensure your new shower door looks great and functions properly for years to come. The best type of cleaner to use is one that's specifically formulated for glass.

Installing a shower door is no small feat, so it's important that you do your research beforehand. Knowing everything you need before your shower door installation can help make the process go more smoothly, giving you the beautiful results you desire.
