Has anyone seen an obscured glass shower door

800 wide or bifold 800 wide

Apparently they don't exist - goodness knows why as cleaning shower doors is a nightmare!!

In chrome or white surround not really fussy - just lazy!

Just get a squeegee. I don’t think a dirty opaque door will look much better than a clear one. I use vinegar spray on mine to help keep the limescale at bay.

Nah obscured is better for us

Would a glazier shop frost/sandblast the door for you before it goes in?

Could you not just have opaque film applied to the outside once it's been installed? It wouldn't be suitable inside. If you are in a hard water area then anything textured will just be a bugger to clean.

You can have a shower door made by a glass company. A bespoke door. We have an opaque one in our loft conversion. Just find a glass company.

I wanted opaque glass for our shower when we had our bathroom done last autumn. I could not find one anywhere.
In the end we bought a Karcher window vacuum after a suggestion from a friend. It sucks all the wet off the glass and tiles in about a minute. Saves loads on cleaning and minimises the need to tackling the grout with bleach and a toothbrush.
We miss the odd day when it needs recharging and we forget but it's quick and easy.

These are great ideas thanks - I have found a couple but they are all quite expensive, so DIY may be a cheaper fix

Obscuring film works really well. I used it on our bathroom doors and it was great.

To be honest in a hard water area it'll be obscured naturally within a few months! I'd second the film options though

I use an eco microfibre cloth. It looks new in seconds.

Masking tape & spray the exterior?

A quick google search found loads of obscure glass options!!! I’m surprised how many I found. Get googling Katy!
