Sterling Plumbing - Doors - The Difference

Variety of Styles
STERLING® shower enclosures provide many choices for enclosing bath and shower modules, and for creating custom showering spaces using receptors or tile.

There are framed and frameless door options available. Frameless doors feature tempered glass panels and minimal hardware to visually open up a space and provide a streamlined look. Framed doors mount all glass panels in a metal frame on all sides.

Sterling's custom door program offers by-pass doors for baths and shower modules, pivot doors for shower modules and receptors and neo-angle or corner installations. With this wide variety of options, Sterling makes it easy for you to find the exact and perfect all-around fit for your bathroom décor.

Bi-Fold A good choice when the opening is narrow and circumstances don't allow for a door to swing into the bath area.

•	Created in folding sections that open like an accordion.
•	Uses minimal space, while providing full access.
•	Opens inward to prevent water from dripping onto the floor.

Hinge
This door usually has a full-length continuous, jointed metal hinge on the side of the door. It swings out, so clearance outside of the shower is important.

Pivot This door rotates on two metal pivots on the top and bottom of the door.

•	Works well when the shower opening is narrow.
•	Offers an adjustable bottom pivot block to ensure a watertight seal.
