Bi-fold Shower Doors Buying Guide
Bi-fold shower doors make a great addition to any shower enclosure, alcove
or showering space.
However, there are a few things to bear in mind when selecting the right
bi-fold shower door for your bathroom.
Below, we’ve outlined our top buying tips when it comes to bi-fold shower
doors.
What is a bi-fold shower door?
A bi-fold shower door, as the name suggests, is a shower door which
features a ‘fold’ in the middle. When you open a bi-fold shower door, the
door folds in on itself in a concertina-like fashion.
This means that bi-fold shower doors take up very little room, and have
become popular amongst people who want small shower cubicles in their
bathrooms.
Bi-fold doors use rollers on a tracking system to move backwards and
forwards, which makes them easy to open and close and to maintain and
clean.
What size bi-fold shower doors are there?
As we mentioned earlier, bi-fold shower doors are incredibly versatile.
One of the reasons for this is because they are available in a wide range
of sizes. Here at Royal Bathrooms we stock many different widths of bi-fold shower
door, including:
- Bi-fold shower door 700mm
- Bi-fold shower door 760mm
- Bi-fold shower door 800mm
- Bi-fold shower door 900mm
- Bi-fold shower door 1000mm
So, whether you have a small shower cubicle, or a large shower cubicle,
you’ll find a suitable bi-fold shower door for you here at Royal
Bathrooms.
Bi-fold shower door measurement
If you want to buy a bi-fold shower door for your shower enclosure, you
may be wondering what size you require.
Luckily, finding the answer is straightforward. Simply measure the width
of your shower tray, and select the corresponding size door. So, if you
have a 700mm wide shower tray, you’ll need to buy a 700mm wide bi-fold
shower door.
Can a bi-fold shower door be turned around?
Depending on how you have installed your shower enclosure, you may want to
buy a bi-fold shower door which can be turned around.
If that’s you, and you want a bi-fold shower door which can be used in
different shower cubicle configurations, then simply select one which is
marked as ‘reversible’ (you’ll see a tick box on the left hand side of
this page in the menu).
Bi-fold shower door glass
Another thing to consider when shopping for bi-fold shower doors is the
type and thickness of glass that they are manufactured from.
At Royal Bathrooms, all of our bi-fold shower doors are manufactured from
CE and BS EN 12150 approved thermally toughened safety glass. This is the
safety standard which all glass used in the home must meet.
This glass is exceptionally safe and will withstand considerable stresses
and strains.
Aside from ensuring that your shower doors use the right type of glass,
you’ll need to decide upon the thickness of the glass too.
We stock bi-fold shower doors which have a glass thickness of 4mm. This is
the perfect balance for creating a substantial feeling, quality shower
door, which isn’t too heavy.
Bi-fold shower door magnets
If you want your shower enclosure to be truly elegant, then you should buy
a shower door which features magnetic door seals.
With magnetic door seals, a bi-fold shower door will stay closed without
the use of intrusive or cumbersome latches.
At Royal Bathrooms you’ll find that our bi-fold shower doors feature
magnetic door seals.
Bi-fold shower door maintenance and cleaning
Bi-fold shower doors are easy to clean and maintain. Due to the way they
fold in on themselves when closed, bi-fold shower doors can be cleaned
without you having to fully get into the showering space.
Keeping your bi-fold shower doors in top condition is as easy as regularly
using a glass cleaning spray, a sponge and a towel or microfibre cloth.
Simply spray a fine layer of glass cleaning spray all over the door. Scrub
it in using your sponge from top to bottom, then rinse off with fresh
water from the shower head. Finally, dry the shower doors with your towel
or microfibre cloth. This will leave you with a sparkling, shiny finish to
your shower doors.
