A new or remodeled bathroom should have the perfect combination of convenience and aesthetic appeal. With intentional décor and attention to practical needs, modern bathrooms become spa-like retreats where you can unwind at the end of the day and be refreshed each morning. Glass is a material that offers many possibilities for blending function with style in a bathroom setting.
Say a permanent good-bye to arranging curtains and liners or brushing up against clammy, musty cloth when you shower! Glass shower doors and enclosures operate simply and keep water inside the stall. If you want to work with your current tub/shower combo, have glass doors or a glass screen installed on the tub edge. On the other hand, if you’re doing a full scale remodel or having a new bathroom built, other options like corner showers or “all glass” custom enclosures are possible. The appearance of your glass shower can be personalized to match your bathroom style and décor. For example, clear, patterned, frosted, and tinted glass options are available as well as assorted hardware styles and finishes.
The perfect complement to glass shower doors is back painted glass. Available in stock and color-matched tones, this glass can serve as shower wall panels. Depending on your desired shower ambiance, you can choose a cool neutral or a rich, bold color. Also, glass holds up well to moisture and humidity, and the absence of grout lines makes these shower walls easy to clean. You’ll want to pair the back painted glass with at least some traditional tile, though, since holes cannot be drilled and screws cannot be driven into glass without the risk of breakage.
Glass shelves are another bathroom fixture that looks amazing while serving a very practical purpose. You can choose the glass type as well as the brackets or hanging system so that the shelves contribute to your desired theme and style for the bathroom. The shelves themselves work as wall adornments, but they’re also ideal for storing:
If you’re remodeling, cabinet glass is a terrific option for sprucing up a vanity instead of replacing it. Cabinet glass can take the place of the original wooden fronts on cabinet doors, giving them a fresh look. Clear cabinet glass is chic and modern. However, if you don’t want to worry about keeping the vanity contents neat and organized at all times, you can choose from patterned and frosted glass options. If the shelves inside your vanity are saggy, damaged, or insufficient, replace them with glass shelves. This is especially nice if you’re using clear cabinet glass that will show off your glass shelves as well.
