Bathroom Door FAQs

What is the best material for a bathroom door?

Nearly any interior door can be used for the bathroom. Just be wary of materials that can warp or degrade with too much moisture exposure.

Many interior designers and contractors recommend PVC doors over all others for the bathroom. This is because PVC is waterproof and will hold up extremely well to anything your bathroom throws at it!

Should a bathroom door swing out or in?

The direction a bathroom door is mounted is largely up to the home’s layout! Limitations aside, there is no rule about which way a bathroom door should swing (though there are benefits and drawbacks to each direction).

A bathroom door that swings inward can be a headache if the room itself is quite small. We’ve all seen photos of ill-planned bathroom doors that won’t open without hitting the toilet bowl.

Meanwhile, a bathroom door that opens outward can be an obstacle for anyone walking past. This is especially a problem for bathrooms that connect directly to narrow hallways.

Of course, you can forego this debate altogether by opting for a sliding door!
