The frameless rolling “barn style” shower door is a relatively new arrival on the glass shower market. If you’re planning a shower upgrade, it’s worth taking a look at this option before finalizing your decision. Explore some of the features that make frameless rolling shower doors so appealing and so practical for bathrooms large and small.
In terms of bathroom fashions, frameless shower glass remains the most popular choice. The small amount of metal on these units gives them a sleek, minimalistic look very much in harmony with modern styles. Frameless rolling shower doors typically do have a metal header spanning the top of the enclosure, but now even this metal component can be eliminated. For example, ABC Glass & Mirror offers a dual door system with a glass header. Made of tempered laminated glass, this unique header has been rigorously tested for safety and durability. Choosing a glass header gives you a shower enclosure that is almost entirely glass.
In the past, frameless shower doors operated by swinging on hinges, and if there wasn’t room for a swinging door other options had to be explored. This would typically mean having a framed or semi-frameless bypass shower door system installed. However, these rolling “barn style” doors meld frameless construction and unrivaled space efficiency. Like classic bypass doors, these rolling doors take up no more room than a shower curtain while providing the elegance and beauty of frameless glass. Whether your bathroom is compact or huge, a frameless rolling shower door will add visual appeal and convenience without using up extra space.
Frameless rolling “barn style” shower door systems have particular features. For instance the door panel or panels hang from a header and glide along it by way of rollers. However, other aspects of the shower enclosure can be tailored to your particular needs.
• Various glass styles
• A selection of hardware finishes
• Single door or dual door system
• Additional fixed glass panels if needed
Ordering a frameless rolling “barn style” shower door system from ABC Glass & Mirror also carries the advantage of professional installation. A DIY kit can leave you filling gaps with caulk or struggling to make a stock-size sheet of glass fit alongside a wall that is out of plumb or in a corner that is not quite square. On the other hand, ABC will start by measuring and inspecting your shower area. As needed, we will tweak the glass dimensions to accommodate any irregularities and achieve a snug fit.
