Barn Style Glass Shower Doors

Barn Style Glass Shower Doors are the perfect answer if you are looking for that unique look. Barn style glass for your shower door is also functional for smaller bathrooms where a swinging door isn’t ideal. Traditional frameless by-passes still require tracks, jambs and a header; hardly a frameless look! With the new Barn Door Hardware for showers, you can have functionality and also maintain that modern frameless look.

Barn Style Glass Shower Doors are not created equal!

With the rise in popularity of glass barn doors for showers, came an influx of options and manufacturers. The price points can range from $1,300, to well over $5,000.00 for the original Glass Barn Door made by Fluerco. While we don’t encourage anyone to run out and spend $5,000.00 for a Fluerco, it is very important to look for quality when it comes to Barn Doors. After testing the options, we learned quite a bit about why a quality product is so important for barn doors.

We found the knock-off brands have inferior hardware. In photos, they might all look the same, but person, the rollers are smaller, and they just don’t roll the way you would want them to. We also found the installation of these imitation doors took twice as long to install.

Problems with knock-off barn doors

  • Cheap looking rollers, smaller in size, and lacking detail
  • Hardware is often made in China
  • Unsightly Seals
  • Header bar sags over time, and door won’t stay closed
  • Components are difficult to adjust
  • Rollers don’t roll with ease
  • Double installation time or more
  • Less water tight
