If you’re reading this, chances are you’re in the throes of a bathroom renovation. Still, just maybe you’ve just had a sudden realisation that your shower curtain isn’t cutting it anymore and suddenly you know, the one with the pink flamingos that have seen better days? Well either way, let’s talk about something that potentially has the ability to revolutionise your morning routine: sliding shower doors!
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Shower doors? Really? This is what my life has come to?” But hear us out for a quick minute or two. These aren’t like grandpa’s shower doors but the sleek, modern, and dare I say…a tad bit sexy kind?
The Slide of Your Life
First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room, the undeniable cool factor, the way you slide to unlock your phone. Now you can do the same with your shower and feel as if you’re sliding into your shower like a secret agent in a high-tech movie scene.
Space Savers
Secondly, let’s talk about practicality, and that is that if you’re living in an urban shoebox (like most of us), then every inch counts and unlike hinged doors that swing open and closed, sliding shower doors glide parallel to the wall, saving you those precious few inches of space.
Aesthetically Pleasing

They add a touch of elegance to your bathroom that says, “Yes, I am an adult who takes their home decor seriously”. Plus, they come to expect a variety of styles and finishes.
Easy to Clean
Lastly, let’s talk about cleanliness. And if you’ve ever had to wrestle a mouldy shower curtain into the washing machine, you know it’s about as fun as stepping on a Lego. With sliding shower doors, cleaning becomes a breeze, as the good thing is that with a quick wipe, they’re sparkling like new.
