Custom glass enclosure? DIY shower kit? Shower curtain? You have choices to make when it comes to completing your shower area and managing water containment. Possibilities span a wide range of price points and finished looks, but there are number of features that make a frameless glass enclosure desirable.
Frameless shower glass is the way to go if you want a bathroom that’s fashionable and up to date. For years, shower door systems with less and less metal have entered the market. Today you can choose between swinging door and rolling door options – all without framing and with minimal metal components. Unframed glass features clean lines and simple elegance. Choosing this type of shower can modernize your whole bathroom, and it’s simplicity makes it unlikely to go out of style any time soon.
A shower curtain and liner combination has to be arranged “just so” in order to keep water droplets inside the shower. A DIY shower door kit can work well if installation pitfalls are avoided. However, a frameless shower enclosure by ABC Glass & Mirror will be warrantied and installed by trained professionals. Whether you choose a shower screen, swinging doors, or rolling doors, keeping water inside the stall is totally uncomplicated. Also, with glass doors you’ll never have the uncomfortable experience of brushing up against a damp, clammy shower curtain liner!
Framed or semi-frameless glass showers have more metal components, which means more nooks and crannies where moisture can gather, soap scum can build up, and mineral deposits can accumulate. These areas are also a nuisance to clean and make the whole process take longer. Frameless clear glass showers have fewer components, so they mostly consist of smooth, flat surfaces that are much easier to dry, clean, and disinfect.
If you’re upgrading your shower, why hide the new tile or glass shower wall panels behind a curtain or privacy glass. A clear frameless shower is perfect for showing off the tile. There are no strips of metal to mar the view of the lovely shower interior, and you can even upgrade to low iron ultra clear glass for a more perfect view of the tile work. With a clear frameless enclosure, the whole bathroom will be beautified by BOTH the new tile or glass panels and the sparkling glass shower enclosure.
Last, but not least, a clear frameless shower is perfect for giving the impression of space both within the shower and in the bathroom as a whole. Privacy glass or a shower curtain visibly separates the shower area from the bathroom and gives a more enclosed feeling inside the stall. Clear frameless glass, on the other hand, integrates the shower area with the rest of the bathroom making both feel open and roomy.
