MAAX Halo Pro Shower Doors

MAAX Halo Pro Shower Doors are sliding glass doors from the Maax Halo series, built for alcove and corner showers. Choices on this page include clear glass or GlassShield glass, a Chrome or Matte Black finish, and doors with or without a towel bar. Examples include the Halo Pro 44 ½-47 x 78 ¾ in. 8 mm Sliding Shower Door with Towel Bar for Alcove Installation with Clear glass in Chrome and the Halo Pro 60 x 36 x 78 3/4 in. 8mm Sliding Shower Door for Corner Installation with Clear glass in Chrome.

A sliding door is a practical pick when a swinging door would hit the vanity, toilet or a nearby wall, since the panels move within their own track. Start by measuring the finished opening width at the top, middle and bottom, and the height from the base to where the top track will sit, then compare those figures to the listed range on the door you are considering. Decide whether your shower is an alcove, closed in by three walls, or a corner layout that needs a door plus a return panel. Finally, pick the glass and finish that suit your tile and the taps and showerhead already in the room.

What to check before you buy

• Measure the finished opening first. Measure width at the top, middle and bottom of the opening and the height from the shower base, using finished tile surfaces rather than bare framing. Compare those figures with the range listed for the door.
• Alcove or corner installation. An alcove door spans an opening between three walls, while a corner door pairs a sliding door with a fixed return panel on the open side. Choose the layout that matches how your shower is built.
• Clear glass or GlassShield glass. Clear glass keeps the view open to your tile, and GlassShield glass is offered on doors such as the Halo Pro GS 44 ½-47 x 78 ¾ in. 8mm Sliding Shower Door for Alcove Installation with GlassShield glass in Chrome. Check the product details to see which glass each door comes with.
• Towel bar or no towel bar. A towel bar gives you somewhere to hang a towel right at the door, while a plain version keeps the outside face simpler. Think about where towels will live in your bathroom before choosing.
• Match the finish to your fixtures. Chrome and Matte Black are the finishes offered, so compare a sample or photo against your taps, showerhead and hardware. Mixing finishes can work, but it is easier to decide before the door is installed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an alcove and a corner shower door?

An alcove door fits an opening enclosed by walls on three sides, so only the front needs glass. A corner door is used where the shower has two walls, and it combines a sliding door with a fixed return panel to close the open side.

Will a sliding door still work if my walls are not perfectly plumb?

Sliding doors are generally designed with some adjustment where the frame meets the wall to handle small variations. Measure your opening at the top, middle and bottom and compare it with the adjustment range listed for the specific door.

Should I choose a door with or without a towel bar?

A towel bar is handy if you want a towel within reach as you step out, and it also gives you something to grip when sliding the door. If you prefer a cleaner look or already have hooks nearby, the version without a towel bar is the simpler choice.
