Not Suitable for HDB BTO Bathroom!

Many BTO homeowners aspire to install sliding doors for their modern appeal and space-saving benefits. However, integrating sliding doors without compromising the bathroom's integrity poses a unique challenge. The original door frames in BTO bathrooms are integral to the waterproofing structure, and removing them risks damaging this crucial barrier.

When an aluminium sliding door is fitted alongside the existing HDB frame, it may not perfectly align with the wall, creating gaps. Such gaps can lead to inefficient air conditioning, as cool air escapes, impacting both comfort and energy consumption.

For HDB BTO toilets with compact layouts, our latest slide and swing Supreme door offers a versatile alternative, fitting seamlessly into smaller spaces without compromising on style or functionality.

Additionally, our aluminium swing door presents a premium option for those looking to elevate their bathroom's aesthetics and usability. It's designed to integrate effortlessly with the existing frame provided by HDB, making it a straightforward upgrade for your home.

8. How do I prolong the lifespan of my bathroom door?

To ensure your bathroom door serves you well for years, proper maintenance is key.

Following on from the cleaning advice previously discussed, here are additional tips to prolong the lifespan of your bathroom door:

  • Gentle Usage: Treat your bathroom door with care. Avoid slamming or exerting excessive force when opening or closing it. Such actions can damage the door's hinges, lock, and other components, leading to misalignment and premature wear.
  • Regular Lubrication: Squeaks or creaks when using the door are signs that the hinges or rollers need attention. Applying a lubricant like WD-40 to these parts at least once a year can significantly enhance the smoothness of the door's operation. This simple step helps in preventing rust and ensures that the door functions quietly and efficiently.
