Swinging Panels are showers with only (1) glass installed. Meaning the other side is missing.
The most frequently asked question regarding this option:
Will the water get out? …. To answer your question: Yes, it may. This all depends on who or how you are bathing. Some customers are a fan and there are others that would rather just have a door and panel.
*Please Note: We CAN add/install the other side at a later time if you decide to change your mind.
Hardware Options:
All swinging panels come with hinges so that you can open your panel in and all the way out. Since there is not another glass next to it the popular option is to have NO type of grab bar hardware on this swinging panel at all.
Other customers like to add a towel-bar, a handle or a knob. You can do either or.
Please remember:
Frameless enclosures are NOT 100% water tight. There may be some splashing while naturally bathing but should not be a concerning amount.
Please do not test this by using your portable handheld shower head on the seams of the glass or by facing your shower head in the direction of the glass. Your handheld will simulate a water hose and in that event no shower enclosure can guarantee that no water will spill out onto your bathroom.
