When you are remodeling or updating your bathroom design, you might want to replace your ratty old shower curtain with a stylish, glass shower enclosure. This can provide you with an attractive shower door that protects the floor from water and increases your home's resale value. Here are a few tips to help you select the right model for your bathroom.

How to Choose a Shower Enclosure

1. Consider a Slider

Sliding—or bypass—doors are ideal for small or narrow spaces and for rooms with closely cramped fixtures. The door slides shut instead of swinging, so this type provides room to move while showering but does not use up the same amount of space as a hinged door. These are especially practical for tub enclosures, since the door mounts to the rim of the bathtub.

2.  Choose Quick-Release Wheels

Wheels are found on sliding and bi-fold doors, to permit the door to roll open and shut. Quick-release-style wheels pop in and out easily to permit you to clean the door more quickly. By removing the wheels before scrubbing, you eliminate small crevices and awkward gaps where dirt, soap scum, and mildew collect. This improves your results and shortens cleaning time. 

3. Match Shower Enclosure Color With Your Other Fixtures

Shower doors and enclosures come in various colors and materials. The most common material is aluminum, while popular colors include chrome, black, and white. This lets you coordinate your shower with the rest of the fixtures. For instance, you can almost always find a style that complements or contrasts the color of your sink, toilet, bathtub, and wall and floor coverings.
