Shower enclosure with pivot door
The pivot door for corner or niche shower cabinets is a refined solution, ideal in the presence of a radiator on the wall parallel to the opening.
Pivot door: characteristics
The shower enclosure with pivot opening, both inwards and outwards, has a door that opens rotating on pins mounted at a distance from the wall varying from 9 cm to 18 cm, depending on the model. This rotation space consequently decreases the input useful space.
Once the door is opened, which is decentralized to the wall, it is placed horizontally to the wall, without crashing into it. It is therefore an ideal solution if that space is occupied by a wall radiator or a towel rack.
Pivot door: dimensions
The shower enclosure with pivot door is a refined solution, usually proposed with glasses of 6 or 8 mm. Considering that the weight of the door discharges only on two points, those where the pins are mounted, there are precise limits for:
- maximum width of 100 cm therefore, to solve large showers, it is always possible to place a fixed part next to the door, which can vary up to a considerable size
- height therefore, depending on the required size, the maximum width will be calculated to meet quality standards; for example Relax follows the Tuv Sud standards that guarantee 20,000 openings and closures to each door
