Neo Angle Shower Door – What’s That?!

January 29, 2010

The neo-angle shower door is a novel idea in shower doors. While the usual shower enclosure comes with doors that go parallel to the back wall of the shower, the neo- angle edition rides parallel to the corner and is principally intended for a corner shower stall. This is a very modern style of enclosure that entirely gives a new look to your bathroom. You may have them even in a frameless design that further highlights the appearance of your bathroom. You could use them as a freestanding stall or as an enclosure for your existing tub.

Some of you may like to replace your old enclosure with this style of door. Please note that normally such doors are rounded or at least curved. So, they would not fit square shaped old enclosures. For having a perfect fit it is very important that the new door has the same style as the old one. The price of a neo-angle door shower varies with its size, style, design and the manufacturer. The price of a new enclosure is slightly more than for replacement doors.

Such bathroom shower doors may have framed or frameless doors. Framed doors would obviously be provided with a frame around the glass but the frameless designs have round edged glass along with a magnetic strip that closes and seals the door to prevent spillage of water beyond the enclosure. It would be worth visiting your local dealer to better understand the features of such a door and to learn how effective is the sealing arrangement.

You may opt for a neo-angle shower door in either clear glass, frosted glass or glass with some design etched on it. The frosted and etched glass is often preferred for the added privacy you get while bathing

Bathroom being a very important room of your home should be styled to match the rest of your home, be it traditional or modern. The beauty of neo-angle shower door is that it fits both the styles. They go to compliment the looks of any style of bathroom and give it an entirely new look. However, you should consider the shape of your tub while choosing a suitable neo-angle door for shower. Round or octagonal tubs would find a perfect match in neo-angle shower doors.

It will be desirable to contact your local retailer or consult a contractor and have their suggestions while thinking of having a neo-angle shower door. You can get the specifications needed for any bathroom product from the retailer and even if he is not dealing with that, he can direct you to some other source for getting the required information. Another helpful tip would be to carry with you the size of your shower opening so as to ensure the perfect fit in your bathroom. As neo-angle shower doors are made in standard sizes only, you may have to get one tailor made for your bathroom if its size is very small.
