Signs it’s Time for a Bathroom Door Replacement

Choosing a bathroom door can be confusing with the huge variety of bathroom doors available today. Besides your budget, another big factor you should consider is the type of bathroom door you need. Some popular options of bathroom doors are bifold, pd and wooden doors. While popular, each of these doors have its own sets of pros and cons. If you’re a current homeowner, you might be thinking of a bathroom door replacement.

Bifold Toilet Door

Pros:

• Easy to use
• Low cost option
• Splash proof, will not corrode
• Available in a variety of colours and options

PD Toilet Door

For Current Homeowners

For current homeowners, there are certain reasons why you should consider changing your bathroom door. With space at a premium, your bathrooms could seem smaller especially when the door takes a large swing area. For more walking space in your bathroom, a bifold door is a great choice. As the door is foldable, it takes up a lesser swing area in your bathroom. This gives you more space for an extra storage area with shelves, towel rack or even just more walking space. This will definitely help in creating a larger feeling bathroom.

If you have a faulty door hinge that’s requiring too much effort to close the door, it’s also probably time for a change. While it might still be usable now, the condition of the door hinge will keep on getting worse with use over time.

Another sign that a replacement of some sort is required, is by looking at the door and the door frame. Due to wear and tear, your bathroom door frame can  get rusty over time. Besides looking unpleasing, this is a potential safety issue when left neglected.
