An important
feature of sliding doors is that they do not go beyond the limits of their
plane during the opening, which is not the case with hinged doors.

Due to this,
sliding doors can be very appropriate in a small bathroom area. Hydroslide
Shower Doors is a type of sliding door. In this article, we will look at the
distinctive features of this type of shower door.
The Hydroslide Sliding
System is suitable for rectangular shaped showers, as these doors are made of
flat glass sheets. The shower space can be in a special niche, then the walls
of the bathroom will play the role of its walls. If such a shower is installed
in the corner of the room, the free edge can be closed with a special glass
fence that will make up the wall of the cabin. A metal rail is fastened to the
side walls, and the door moves along it.

Most often, this
system consists of two glass doors. One of them is stationary. It strengthens
the structure, as the metal rail is attached to it. The second door leaf moves
freely along the rail. It is worth noting that the Hydroslide System involves
special hidden fasteners. They are wheels that move inside the rail, not
outside. This trick reduces the number of visible metal elements that visually
weigh down the doors.
For safety
reasons, the movement of the door is stopped by means of limiters. It prevents
hands injuries or breaking of glass. The recessed rail at the bottom of the
door provides good protection against water penetration.
