Swing doors / inwards and outwards

Besco swing shower doors – freedom of movement in both directions

Swing doors, often referred to as ‘saloon’ doors, are an innovative system that eliminates the limitations of traditional hinged doors. The special hinge design allows the door leaf to move through a 180-degree range. This solution is particularly appreciated in bathrooms where space in front of the shower is limited, or where a clever system for draining water from the wet glass directly into the shower enclosure is desired.

Advantages of the swing system – why is it a smart choice?

Choosing to install Besco swing doors brings specific functional benefits that turn your daily shower into pure pleasure:

• Flexible opening: The ability to open the door inwards saves space in the bathroom after a shower, making it easier to move around the room.
• Clean floor: By opening the wet door inwards, water running down the glass pane flows directly into the shower tray or linear drain, rather than onto the bathroom floor.
• Better ventilation: After your shower, you can leave the door ajar inwards, which speeds up the drying of the enclosure and prevents moisture build-up, without blocking the passageway in the bathroom.

Technology and Safety – quality you can trust

• Tempered glass: We use high-strength panes designed for heavy-duty use. Every edge is precision-ground.
• Lifting Mechanism: Besco swing hinges often feature a function that lifts the door panel during movement. This protects the bottom seal from premature wear and ensures smooth operation.
• Magnetic Seal: The use of magnetic strips ensures that the door fits perfectly against the frame or the second pane when closed, providing a fully watertight shower area.

Aesthetic finishes – match them to your vision

Besco swing doors are available in finishes that allow you to create a cohesive interior with the rest of the fittings:

• Chrome: A universal sheen that adds a touch of luxury to the bathroom.
• Black: Black profiles and hinges, perfectly suited to modern, contrasting designs.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Are swing doors safe for children?

Yes, the swing system is very safe. Because the door swings open in both directions, the risk of accidentally bumping into the edge of the glass when entering or exiting is minimised. The sturdy tempered glass is impact-resistant, and the rounded handles ensure a secure grip.

Do swing doors require a wide recess?

Besco swing systems are available in various widths. This allows for installation even in relatively narrow recesses, where a single wide swing door would be impractical due to the opening radius.

How should I look after the hinges on swing doors?

The hinges in Besco doors are designed to operate in high-humidity conditions and do not require complicated maintenance. Simply remove soap and limescale deposits regularly using a soft cloth and mild cleaning agents to ensure the lifting and rotating mechanism operates smoothly for years to come.
