Black Grid Double Doors - London

This London bathroom needed two shower doors instead of one, which meant we had to change how we make our frames. Both doors open inwards and stay closed with magnets. The black grid design looks great and works well in this tight space.

Double Doors Need Special Frames

Most showers have one door that closes against a wall or glass panel. But the project required two doors, so we had to change our frame design. The middle part where both doors meet needed special work to make sure they seal properly.

You can see the thick 30mm black frame and the thinner 14mm grid bars. The doors stay closed with strong magnets built into the frame. This shows how we solve tricky problems with our black shower work.

Why Two Small Doors Work Better

The client wanted smaller double doors to avoid water from the shower head reaching the door when turning on the controls. Also, there's a toilet on one side and a big sink on the other, so a door opening outwards would get in the way.

Two smaller doors open inwards without getting water on them when reaching for the controls. The magnets keep the doors closed when needed. Our shower door work solves these tight space problems every day.

Black Finish That Lasts

This ladder handle gives you a good grip with wet hands. The black finish is anodised aluminium, which lasts much longer than powder coating. You can see how we put the grid bars on the outside only, which we recommend - this makes cleaning the inside much easier.

The black anodised finish handles bathroom moisture really well. It won't chip or peel like powder coating can. The grid pattern gives the shower a modern look whilst being practical for daily use.

Clean Look From Inside

Looking from inside the shower, the small hinges and frame look very clean. We put the grid bars on the outside only, which we recommend for showers. This means the glass cleans easily with a squeegee and limescale doesn't build up as much.

There are no visible screws or bolts on the inside of the frame. Everything looks tidy whilst still being really strong. When both doors are open, they swing 180 degrees back against the fixed screens on each side.

No Threshold - Higher Risk

The client didn't want a threshold strip on the floor, so the shower relies just on the floor slope to keep water in. We advised this means water might escape under the doors more than with our normal threshold setup.

When both doors are fully open, they swing back against the fixed screens on each side. The handles stop them going completely flat, but this gives plenty of space to get in and out. The black grid frame looks great across the whole opening.

💡 Flexible Timeline: The waiting period begins after frame production (day 19) and varies based on your tiling schedule. If your tiling is completed during our frame production period, we can arrange the final measurements earlier and advance the entire schedule - moving final measurements, design adjustments, glass production, assembly, and installation to start as early as day 5 (right after design confirmation). The total timeline shows the minimum 34 working days if tiling is ready when frames are done.
