On the pivoting shower enclosure, the imagination and creativity of the Megius designers have been indulged; in fact, thanks to the variety of profiles, thicknesses, and glass decorations, the outward opening door offers a wide range of products.

The pivot door is the classic shower door that opens outwards (and closes horizontally, like an interior door). There are an infinite number of models on the market, more or less aesthetically pleasing, differentiated by the type of profile, the thickness and decoration of the glass, the design of the handles or hinges, and the size of the frames. The choice is truly astonishing.
PRO: As the simplest shower enclosure, it is generally also the cheapest.
CON: The hinged model takes advantage of the entire width of the niche for the entrance to the shower – it is therefore also suitable for niches of reduced width – but it causes the door to drip when it is opened and it can bump into other pieces of furniture if the measurements are not taken correctly.

Saloon door
If you like the idea of using the whole width of the niche, but do not have the space to open a whole door, you could opt for the saloon door, which as you can imagine has two identical doors that open 180° inside/outside. Again, there are many models available and you are sure to find the right saloon door for you.
PRO: What I like about this type of opening is that you can keep the shower area open without any external obstructions (just keep the doors closed towards the inside of the cubicle). The problem of dripping – which is subjective, let’s be clear, it’s just a few drops at the end of the shower – is therefore eliminated if you always open the doors inwards.

Pivoting door
Less common than the hinged door is the pivoting door (or revolving door, if you understand the term better), which rotates on a pivot point located further inwards than the wall-mounted profile. This type of door makes it possible to have a single-leaf box, but without taking up as much space on the outside like this one.
There are also single-leaf doors with a 180° movement that allows the glass to be closed inwards when not in use, such as the Sofist series.

Hinges
There are hinges with a lift-off feature, which allow the breakwater to be overcome at the base and not affect the shape of the seal.
