Barn-Style Shower Doors

Have you ever heard of a “barn-style” shower door?

Barn door shower doors are a great option for small bathrooms or spaces where a swinging door isn’t practical. These doors offer a sleek, minimalistic look with streamlined hardware, similar to other frameless shower door styles.

When selecting a barn-style door, you can choose between two sliding panels or one sliding panel paired with a stationary panel. The best choice depends on the layout of your bathroom—particularly the location of your shower controls and any fixtures like vanities or toilets near the door.

Ideally, you want to be able to open the door and reach the shower controls from outside the enclosure, allowing the water to warm up without being sprayed with cold water. In this case, a door with two sliding panels might give you the necessary flexibility.

If space is limited (for example, if there’s a vanity or toilet next to the shower), a single sliding panel with a stationary panel might be the better option. This design also helps prevent water from leaking out if the door is accidentally left ajar.
