FAQs
It depends on your layout and what you value most. Frameless sliding doors are a great fit when you want a modern look and smooth operation (many use exposed rollers and thicker tempered glass).
If you want a wide, open entry and have swing clearance, hinged/pivot doors are a strong choice—common in neo-angle and corner-style enclosures.
For a more traditional build, framed sliding enclosures can be a practical option, with configurations like center-opening designs.
A hinged shower door swings open like a standard door. On many shower enclosures, this is described as a hinged/pivot design (the door swings on hinge/pivot hardware), and can be installed to suit left/right orientation depending on the model.
Frameless doors rely on thicker tempered safety glass and sturdy hardware (hinges, clamps, or rollers) instead of a full surrounding metal frame. Examples include frameless sliding doors using roller systems and 8mm glass, and frameless hinged doors using even thicker 10mm glass.
The “best” door is the one that matches your space:
- Sliding: ideal when you don’t have room for a door to swing out; some are reversible for flexible installation.
- Hinged/Pivot (swing): best when you want the widest entry and have clearance; some models are reversible for drain/door orientation.
- Framed vs frameless: framed styles can offer a more traditional enclosure feel, while frameless styles emphasize a clean, open look.
Typical sliding shower doors — with glass and install — range around $700 to $1,000, depending on frame type, glass thickness, and labour.
Both work well—many products describe this as a hinged pivot or pivot/swing door style. Pivot/hinged doors are great for accessibility and a wide opening, but they require enough space for the door swing.
Based on current product pricing on the site, frameless shower doors commonly fall around $719.99 to $1,199.99, depending on the style (hinged vs sliding), size, and glass thickness.
Price differences often relate to details like glass thickness (8mm vs 10mm) and hardware/door mechanisms (hinges vs roller systems).
