We have noticed the growing trend in bathroom remodels of replacing a shower/tub combo with a tile shower. However, that might not suit your needs, budget or space. With a combined shower and bath, you have the option of either a shower door or shower curtain enclosure. Which one should you choose for your bathroom remodel? It may boil down to personal preference or budget. Below are some pros and cons to both shower doors and shower curtains.
Shower Door
- Full enclosure, no water escaping
- More expensive to purchase & install
- Likely to coordinate with any style
- Some options with glass pattern, texture, color
- Space can appear larger
- Less privacy
- Susceptible to hard water stains & soap scum
Shower Curtain
- Many designs & styles to choose from
- Easy to change/update
- Economical
- Can attract mold & mildew, but fairly east to clean or replace
- Accessibility for kids
- Can make bathroom feel smaller
- Custom rods available to match fixtures
