Pivot Shower Doors
Whether you're planning a new shower enclosure or upgrading your current shower door, pivot doors are a stylish and practical choice. With pivot points at the top and bottom, they swing both inward and outward, making them a flexible option to fit your layout. These doors open fully, providing a wider entry compared to sliding or bi-fold doors – ideal for accessibility and ease of use. Built with toughened safety glass, they're designed to last and offer peace of mind. Plus, the frames come in various styles to match modern or traditional decor – from matt black to brushed brass.

FAQs
What is the difference between a pivot and hinged shower door?
Hinged shower doors open using fixed hinges attached directly to the edge of the door, much like a traditional household door. This means the door swings fully outward.
On the other hand, pivot doors rotate on pivot points set slightly inward from the edge at the top and bottom of the door. This design enables the door to open both inward and outward, making it a more versatile option for tighter spaces or layouts.
How can I create a shower enclosure?
Building a shower enclosure requires a few essential components beyond your chosen pivot shower door. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Side panels (if required) – If your shower isn’t recessed between two walls, you’ll need side panels to enclose the shower area completely.
- Shower tray – This is the sturdy, water-tight base of your enclosure.
- Shower waste – The waste drain ensures water drains efficiently from the tray, keeping your shower area dry.
- Shower kit – These include key elements like the shower head, valve, and slide rail.
