How to Buy a Sliding Shower Door Online

A sliding (bypass) shower door is the go-to for an alcove shower, two glass panels slide past each other, so the door never swings into the bathroom. Buying online is easy once you have your opening width and height; every VIGO sliding door below ships free with adjustable hardware and ANSI-certified tempered glass.

Start by measuring your finished opening width at the top, middle and bottom, then the height from the curb or tub rim. VIGO sliding doors list a width range and accommodate minor wall variation with adjustable wall profiles.

Then choose your glass thickness and finish, and confirm the hardware. VIGO frameless sliders use thick tempered glass, smooth roller systems and spot-resistant finishes, the details that separate a door that lasts from one that does not.

  • Space-saving design. Bypass panels slide past each other, so the door never swings into the room.
  • Adjustable for real walls. Wall profiles absorb minor out-of-plumb walls for a level, watertight fit.
  • Certified tempered glass. Thick, ANSI-certified safety glass with protective coatings resists water spots.
  • Ships free, installs clean. Free shipping, included hardware and seals, and a limited lifetime warranty.

Measure Before You Buy: Five Steps

Run through these before ordering a sliding door online for a confident, correct purchase.

  • 1. Measure width in three places โ€” Measure the finished opening at top, middle and bottom; use the smallest number and match it to the door's width range.
  • 2. Measure the height โ€” Measure from the curb or tub rim to your desired door height; most VIGO sliders can be trimmed to height.
  • 3. Check the walls for plumb โ€” Minor out-of-plumb is handled by adjustable wall profiles; note any major lean before ordering.
  • 4. Choose glass and finish โ€” Pick your glass style (clear or fluted) and a spot-resistant finish to match your fixtures.
  • 5. Confirm left/right and order โ€” Bypass doors are reversible; confirm the layout, then order with free shipping.
