Choosing a Bathroom Door
Read Time:3 Minute, 29 Second
An ideal bathroom door should be both durable and attractive to match the rest of your home decor while remaining cost-efficient.
Plywood doors make an excellent addition to bathrooms as they resist changes in humidity. Their cross-laminated structure helps prevent swell and shrinkage while offering enhanced dimensional stability – not to mention they come in various shades and designs!
Wood
Wood makes for an attractive bathroom door material. Choose between natural wood and paneled designs for added sophistication in your home. When purchasing one designed specifically for bathroom use, be sure to purchase high-quality doors capable of withstanding humidity levels in this space.
PVC doors offer another excellent solution for bathroom doors, helping save both time and money by cutting maintenance costs. Their sophisticated construction mimics painted wooden doors without needing absorbent natural fibers as absorbency sources.

Glass
There’s a wide range of glass door designs to match any bathroom style, and clear tempered glass maximizes light while creating an uncomplicated and minimalistic appearance. Additionally, this type of glass is safe and durable should it become broken.
Frosted glass can be customized with patterns, designs, text or anything else to add an artistic flair to any bathroom space. It is especially great for smaller bathrooms which would otherwise feel cramped.

Clear frosted glass offers privacy without dimming light in a room, helping prevent soap scum build-up in doors.
Tempered glass meets building code standards as an added safety measure, being four to five times stronger than standard annealed glass and breaking into small pellets rather than sharp shards when broken.
Low-iron shower glass eliminates the green tint that obscures views through shower enclosure panels and doors, enabling true colors to come through and providing natural lighting in your bathroom. Plus, low-iron glass also helps lower energy costs!
Locks
Many individuals may be tempted to buy cheap locks for bathroom doors. However, it’s essential that security of these doors be taken seriously; their locking mechanisms must be user-friendly and work harmoniously with the door handle.
There are various bathroom lock designs on the market that provide various degrees of privacy, security, and longevity. Some bathroom lock designs rely on simple latch mechanisms like slide or thumb-turn locks while more complex designs include deadbolt locks that require keys or codes to open them.
Bathroom doors that lock can help safeguard children from accessing unsafe areas where they could get hurt, as well as help hotel staff react faster in an emergency situation. When used in hotel bathrooms, locks can prevent guests from leaving the restroom and running out the building, giving staff ample time to respond rapidly in case of an incident.
Design
When selecting doors for your bathroom, there are various choices available. A sliding door is great for saving space while adding style, while pocket doors may be best suited to smaller bathrooms due to how they slide open into a pocket in the wall for easy storage and can help alleviate issues related to hinges.
If you prefer something a bit more contemporary, barn wood doors might be just what the doctor ordered. These unique doors often come framed in white and feature random art for a truly distinctive appearance in any room.
