Sliding doors

Pivoting doors
Pivoting doors can open inwards, outwards, or even both ways. If you are opting for a pivot door it is critical to make sure there is enough room for the door to open without interference from any other bathroom fixtures.
Bi-Fold doors
If you don’t have the space for a pivot shower door in your bathroom, a bi-fold door is often a viable substitute.
Bi-fold doors typically fold inwards into the interior of your shower for added convenience in limited space.
Partial Enclosure
A partial enclosure can be used in the absence of a door. It consists of a piece of glass that covers the area in your shower near the shower head, to prevent water from spilling onto the floor. This is a very affordable option for installation over a tub.
