Tub doors are simpler than shower doors — fewer decisions, but each one has a real impact.
Style
Sliding vs pivot vs hinged
Sliding is the most common on standard tubs; pivot and hinged work on shorter, walk-in or freestanding tubs.
Sliding bypass: classic, no swing clearance
Pivot: opens outward like a shower door
Hinged on a fixed panel: clean modern look
Frame
Frameless, semi-frameless or framed
Same trade-offs as shower doors — frameless looks best, framed is cheapest, semi-frameless splits the difference.
Frameless: ⅜″ glass, premium hinges
Semi-frameless: clean look at lower cost
Framed: budget option, dated profile
Glass
Clear, rain or frosted
Clear glass shows off tile; textured or frosted glass adds privacy when the tub is in a shared bath.
Clear with low-iron for true white tile
Rain or fluted glass for soft privacy
Easy-clean coating extends life
Hardware
Finish and pulls
Match the tub filler and shower trim. Mixed metals look intentional only when the towel bar matches one of them.
Matte black, brushed nickel, polished chrome
Brushed gold trending with white tile
Long pull bars on sliding doors
