Shower door pivot or bi-fold

lucidamike

About to get a new shower enclosure and wondered if there is any difference in waterproofness between a pivot door or a bi-fold door -- particularly long term when plastic / rubber seals start to wear

Having looked through the forum, I will probably go for a Twyford Geo 6 enclosure but wasn't sure if the doors were different (apart from the obvious)

Thanks

they will all seal if fitted correctly, a pivot door will normally open out so water will drip on the floor, a bi-fold opens in so it saves that from happening but you have to make sure you have room to fit it.

in the simplist of terms, the pivot door has less moving parts = less things to go wrong. Really depends on what you prefer and what fits best in your bathroom. I recently installed a pivot screen and it's fine
