Looking to upgrade your bathroom in 2025? Choosing the right shower door can transform your space both visually and functionally. Here's how to make the smartest buying decision this year.
1. Know Your Shower Space
Before diving into styles and features, assess your shower area:
- Is it a stand-alone shower or bathtub combo?
- What are your wall-to-wall measurements?
- Is there enough clearance for doors to swing or slide?
Measuring accurately is critical. Bakiwhs offers models like frameless double sliding shower doors and swing glass doors tailored to various spaces.
2. Choose Your Shower Door Type
Each shower type brings different benefits:
- Frameless Sliding Doors: Sleek, modern, and perfect for tight layouts.
- Swing Hinged Doors: Luxurious and ideal for larger bathrooms.
- Bypass Doors: Both panels slide; ideal for bathtubs or wider openings.
- Fixed Glass Panels: Minimalist and stylish, often seen in walk-in showers.
In 2025, frameless models with 3/8" tempered glass are dominating due to their clean look and durability.
3. Pick the Right Glass Thickness
The gold standard for premium doors is:
-
3/8" (10mm) tempered safety glass
Why? It’s strong, stable, and feels solid during use. Bakiwhs doors come with this industry-preferred thickness.
Also, look for:
- EnduroShield coating: Protects against hard water stains and reduces cleaning time.
- SGCC Certification: Guarantees safety and quality for tempered glass.
4. Consider the Hardware Quality
Never compromise on the components:
- 304 stainless steel hardware is rust-proof and long-lasting.
- Popular finishes in 2025: Matte Black, Brushed Nickel, Polished Chrome.
- Soft-close rollers and concealed screws improve functionality and aesthetics.
Bakiwhs ensures all parts meet U.S. standards for performance and design.
5. Installation: DIY or Professional?
Most Bakiwhs shower doors come with:
- Step-by-step guides
- Installation videos
- Universal fit systems
But if you're not confident, a professional installer can ensure a seamless and watertight finish.
6. Maintenance Tips
- Clean regularly with non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- Use a squeegee after each shower.
- Apply protective coatings annually (if not factory-applied like EnduroShield).
Frameless doors are easier to clean due to fewer metal parts and cleaner edges.
7. Design Trends to Follow
2025’s trends focus on:
- Minimalist lines
- Black and brushed finishes
- Floor-to-ceiling frameless glass
- Eco-conscious materials
Bakiwhs models align with every trend — blending form, function, and long-term value.

Buying a shower door in 2025 is about more than looks. With the right measurements, materials, and finish, you can find a door that elevates your bathroom and lasts for years. Bakiwhs offers high-quality frameless glass doors that check every box.
