I plan to begin working on my second bath in the next 6 months and I need to start somewhere so thought the shower door would be a good place to start. I will be posting other questions over the next few weeks, trying to narrow down my ideas and product types/names.

In a shower door I need ease of use, stability, longevity, and if available beauty. I am thinking a framed door would be more stable but I could be wrong. Any and all ideas are welcome. As with my nearly finished bathroom, I am remodeling for the next generation as well as for DH and me, as we age in place. This is a family farm house, and we are the 3rd generation to inhabit it. We hope our son will live here in the future. I always consult him on my ideas too ;)

HTH!

I saw this door at Lowes but didn't catch a brand. Then I found it on Quality Bath. Don't know if it is the same brand but I like the functional looks of this.

I will post a pic of ours. We were limited as to door direction/position because of the size/shape/etc. etc. of the bathroom (long, narrow room). Our door is closer to the non-spray wall.

In our narrow bathroom, the sliding door set-up such as the one you linked, would have worked well I think.

I prefer glass on shower stalls vs curtains, and vice-versa for tubs. Just my personal preference.

Because the guest bathroom was going to be the only one with a shower stall, and shower glass, we splurged on the starphire glass, and the taller height (at the lower height, the brackets would have been screwed into our border tile otherwise, plus DH felt the taller glass would do a better job of containing water spray).

Here's our shower stall:

Here's the link to downstairs (guest) bathroom. The link box below won't accept the URL???

It sure is fun to start the planning:)

It certainly is fun to start the planning! If only one could jump from that stage to finished without all the in-between stuff! LOL
