Sliding and Barn Shower Door Differences

Are you torn between a sliding shower door and a barn door shower door?

These two options are very similar, but the minor difference can make or break your decision. 

What’s the Difference? 

• Both types of sliding shower doors use rollers.  In most semi-frameless shower doors, their rollers are hidden within a metal frame, and barn doors have their hardware exposed.

• Barn doors have a more minimalist approach when it comes to hardware.  Semi Frameless Sliders will have a metal channel running along the perimeter of the door. 

• Barn door sliders generally have one sliding panel with a fixed panel whereas semi-frameless sliders tend to have both panels sliding, allowing for two entry points.
