One of the most awesome things about our Retro Renovation community is how readers pull together to help each other find resources to get the job done. We constantly get tips from readers sharing their discoveries — like Carol’s recent comment on our story about vintage style shower doors — sharing her source for folding accordion shower doors.
Yes, Shower Solutions USA, Inc. still produces folding shower doors. This product today seems to mostly focused as a solution for those with mobility issues. But these folding shower doors also were a “thing” in postwar America — so they are great if you need a replacement for an existing system — or if you want this retro look!
Shower Solutions USA, Inc. offers several models and sizes of folding shower doors. The doors are all made in America. The company has been in business since 2003 and has three employees.
From the Shower Solutions website:

I need a shower enclosure…bi-fold; accordion as in your pictures…but something inexpensive to close a 52″ shower opening.
Inexpensive.

I am trying to update a 70s bath that has a cramped stall shower with original accordion shower door. I am planning to preserve many of the elements of the bath like yellow laminate counters and floating vanities but the shower stall is in bad shape and not particularly interesting from a design perspective. (No cool vintage tile like I’m seeing on this site). The accordian door is in good shape but would go with the plastic stall. Am I making a mistake by getting rid of the accordian door from a preservation standpoint? Trying to balance preserving the best Midcentury elements with some much needed updates. Has anyone struck that balance in their MC bath update?
Pam Kuebersays
I do not believe, personally, that vintage plastic acccordian shower doors will ever command top prices as a rare collector’s item. That said, I think they are interesting, time-warp fun, and worth preserving especially if they are in good shape (why throw out something still useful and operational). I also tend to believe they are functional — they don’t swing out and take up space, they fold in on themselves, now nifty from a space utilization standpoint. I also don’t see a problem mixing plastic with ceramic.
Ultimately, up to you — and if you are going to enlarge the shower stall, well then, you need a new door anyway, don’t you? Our spaces should be foremos “functional.”
If you feel “bad” about ditching the door — put it on craigslist to see if it can find a new home — or at least give the ReStore a shot, although they many not want to deal with something so unwieldy.
Hello, after my mother-in-law fell out of her bathtub, they have installed a walk in shower. It does not come with a door, and they were told they could not get one. Your mf standard series 2260.70 would work great! They live in Ontario, Oregon. Where would they be able to order one?
Thank you,
Greg Butler.

We have a small shower enclosure in our second bathroom, with the door measuring 28 1/2 wide and 68 1/2 inches long. It is a white plastic folding door. which rolls on a track with wheels, top and bottom to keep the door on the track. It was installed in 1979. Do you have something in this size and if you do, please send pic and cost information. Much appreciated.

I live in a mobile home. Need folding shower door, NO tub, 55″ by approx.67″ H. I need someone to install it. Live in California
Pam Kuebersays
Hi Diane, you are going to have to find a local company to help with this. Try… a company that sells glass shower doors. Maybe they can help you with folding ones.
Dianesays
I’m having a really hard time finding anyone that even works on shower doors in a mobile home. I’m thinking maybe just replacing the white plastic . Could I do that myself?

I need replacement vinyl fabric for my 24″ x 68″ shower door. The frame is still good but the vinyl is cracking from age and cleaning. Is it possible to just buy the fabric? My door has a center divider section so the vinyl is actually two separate pieces.

Our shower folding door in our RV is cracking we were wondering if we can replace it from your company.
