A sliding bathroom door is not only a functional element of a modern bathroom but also a stylish detail that can make your room look bigger. They are becoming increasingly popular as they add a sense of style and elegance.
Frosted glass sliding doors are perfect for striking a balance between privacy and light transmission. They are a great option for families and help to warn other household members that the bathroom is occupied.
Customisation
Sliding bathroom doors can be custom designed to fit any opening or interior decor style. These door types are a great choice for small bathrooms or guest toilets, as they make efficient use of space. They also look stylish and can add a touch of elegance to any bathroom.
They require a bit more complicated operating system than hinged doors and can be prone to more issues down the line due to their multiple components. They can also be a little too modern for certain styles of homes and wouldn’t work as well in a period or vintage home.
TOP Technik offers a wide range of glass sliding doors that can be tailored to your needs. These doors are available in a variety of sizes and colours. Some of them feature handles that run the entire length of the door, which can help with storage and organisation. They also come in a number of glass options, like vintage, spectrum or frosted, and have the option to include mirrors for added functionality.
Locks
Sliding bathroom doors can be fitted with locks to improve privacy and security. Some locks sit at the bottom of the door and screw into the frame, making them hard to see from outside. Others sit along the bottom track and provide a barrier that prevents your sliding door from being lifted off its track. This is a great option for renters or anyone who wants to secure their bathroom quickly and easily.
Other options include privacy door knobs or lever-type door handles that feature a thumb turn lock and release mechanism on the inside of your home that’s easy to open in an emergency. If you’re looking for a more robust lock system, consider a multi-point door lock that includes deadbolts and hock bolts to prevent intruders from lifting your door off its tracks.
Finally, there are barn door locks that are designed to prevent kids or pets from opening your sliding door. These locks attach to the stationary panel on your bathroom and either hook onto a latch on the wall or slide into a teardrop-shaped slot on the door to stop them from opening it.
Glass
A sliding door with glass allows you to make the most of your bathroom’s natural light. It also helps create the illusion of space and makes your home feel more luxurious.
Sliding doors are available in a variety of different finishes, ensuring that you can find the right look to suit your style and needs. Frosted or etched glass provides privacy while still allowing light to flow through the room. Additionally, textured glass is easier to maintain than clear glass and will resist the build-up of soap scum much more effectively.
Alternatively, a clear glass sliding door can help your shower tile become the main focus of the bathroom and creates a sense of openness that will make your rooms feel larger. Additionally, sleek sliding hardware is an ideal fit for modern bathrooms and is more streamlined than the hinged hardware that comes with traditional doors. Moreover, these sleek frames are also easy to clean and require less maintenance than hinged hardware.
Flush-to-the-wall
A door should never be an element that interrupts the wall. Rather, it should merge with it and become one. From a technical perspective, this means that doors should be solid and feel good when opened or shut. They should stop noise and be suitable for the room’s style.
From a design point of view, they should reflect the minimalist style that is becoming increasingly appreciated. This is why the ECLISSE 40 Collection offers a range of solutions that are completely flush with the wall, from the frame to the skirting board.
This system eliminates the need for a traditional door frame, leaving more space on the wall for decoration or for a larger window. It also allows electric wiring and thermostats to be installed without any problems, thanks to a special galvanised steel bar that can be fitted in the pocket. A patented fixing system makes it possible to regulate height, depth and width, ensuring that the door is perfectly aligned with the frame and metal stop jamb when closed.
