The Benefits of Pivot Shower Doors
When you’re choosing a shower door, it’s important to take into account space around the shower as that determines the type of door most appropriate for your installation. On deciding how much space you have to utilise around the shower enclosure, it’s now time to look at shower doors that will make the most of that space.
If there is not enough space for a hinged shower door to swing out into, or there is no need for a space-saving bifold option, then a pivot shower door could be the solution you need to utilise our space. Similar to a hinged door, a pivot shower door allows a similar functionality that swings out into your bathroom’s space but takes up less room thanks to the position of their pivots.
Located on the top and bottom of the frame, when you open a pivot shower door, part of the door swings into the shower installation, allowing for less of shower door to swing out into the shower’s exterior space.
By utilising this design, you can gain the same sleek minimalist appeal as a hinged shower door without having to take into account the wealth of space they often require.

What is a Pivot Shower Enclosure?
The shower door is one of the most important components to take into account when considering which shower enclosure to buy, often changing the dynamics of the bathroom suite and the space needed.
Two types of shower enclosures that often get confused are pivot shower enclosures and hinged shower enclosures. Looking fairly similar in their functionality, these two shower enclosures both offer their own individual benefits.
Starting with a pivot shower enclosure, these types of installations utilise a swing out the door but with the hinges being replaced for pivots located at the top and bottom of the shower enclosure’s frame.
With the pivots featuring along the top and bottom of the shower door, it allows them to be located inwards so that part of the door can pivot into the showering area, leaving less of the door to swing out into your bathroom suite, saving space and allowing for a more versatile design.
Hinged enclosures utilised hinges located on the side of the door, attached to the inline panel or side panel, so the full width of the door will always swing out into the bathroom’s space, making for a shower enclosure that requires more space surrounding it.
Pivot shower enclosures are a fantastic solution for those who want the swing-out functionality but can’t afford to discount too much space in their bathroom suite.
