Dear forum,
My parents recently bought their first house, and the renovation is planned to be completed by mid-December.
Just so you know: I am a layperson in this field, so please excuse me if I express something awkwardly.
I would like to ask if it is normal that the doors do not close properly at a 90-degree angle. Visually, this does not seem to be the case for us. The bathroom is also the room where my parents have invested the most money and effort for the first time.
The person who built this shower for us is an acquaintance. We saw his shower at his place (we did not pay attention to the doors being folded shut), and we liked it visually.
When building the bathroom, we fully trusted him, which is why he also chose the materials and everything else.
Now, we have no idea whether this shower door is correct because we have never seen one that does not close at or near a 90-degree angle. I have not found a single shower on the internet that closes like this.
The shower door in his house is the same as ours, but both visually and when showering, we would not like it if the door had to be closed in such an awkward way.
He said that he installed it this way intentionally for us and that he can change it, but he does not provide any warranty if something should happen later regarding leaks or similar issues.
In this post, I hope to get an answer as to whether these shower doors are normal and whether we should have them changed.
I know this post is not very detailed, but I am grateful for any help or questions.

Yes, that would be very strange if he made a measuring mistake, because his shower is bent exactly the same way. Is the man a professional? And did he actually measure, or did he just install the door fully outward each time without giving it much thought?
Actually, it should be "quite simple," as everyone agrees that the doors should close flush and without any bend in the middle. This is certainly how the manufacturer intended it.
The question here is what exactly the problem is—whether the doors were ordered too long or too short 🙂
Based on the first picture, it initially looked like they were too long. However, since the lower front corner is not shown in the image, they could also actually be too short, causing them to be pulled further inward and create a bend.
This is certainly not what the designer intended.
