Folding shower doors
Dec 18th, 2011, 8:46pm
 
Are shower doors available that fold in a number of sections ?  (i.e. more than 2 ... plenty of 'bi-fold' doors !).  I've found one multi-section bath screen, but no shower doors even thought I'm sure I've seen them before.

Thanks ...

the trouble you have is they need tracks to run on or hang from because off slack in any join causes progressively worse dipping twisting leaning

Is it worse for 'multi-fold' than bi-fold .... or is this a reason not to go for the bi-fold door ?

Bi fold doors are about all that manufacturers do on a fix screen/cubicle basis, as the excessive wear is not good for business...

if the door is not an over bath job, then none exist that i know off,

Not sure what situation you have but have you looked at pivot doors ? They take less room than hinged.

That's what we had -- it doesn't suit our situation at all.
