        "text": "Sliding glass doors run on a top track and slide parallel to the wall, making them ideal when a swinging door would bump into an adjacent toilet, vanity, or towel bar. However, sliding systems usually open only halfway, creating a narrower entrance to the shower stall. Hinged doors provide a wider entrance and a minimalist look, but they require ample clearance outside the enclosure so the glass does not hit fixtures. Your floor plan’s exterior clearance determines which design functions best.",
