If there is a shower in your bathroom, whether it is a master or a guest bathroom, of course, you want it to be aesthetically pleasing. Glass shower enclosures can be customized in a variety of ways. Exploring the different options of shower doors for a remodel makes it easier to achieve a great look that matches the personality of your home.
Swing Glass Shower Doors vs. Sliding Glass Shower Doors
Perhaps one of the most important aspects to consider when you have a glass shower enclosure is the shower door. Do you want the shower door to swing open, or would you prefer sliding doors? Both have their pros and cons. The answer may also be dictated by the amount of shower space you have within the room for the glass enclosure. Shower doors that slide to the side require much less space as opposed to providing a large enough area for it to swing open.
By working with a custom glass company, you can have a custom shower glass enclosure that is built to your specifications. Even if you have a glass enclosure already in place, modifications, and enhancements might be readily available allowing you to receive the look that you really prefer or want.
Style of Glass and Glass Types
Tempered glass, also known as toughened, is most frequently used in glass shower enclosures because of strength it offers. Even if you were to accidentally slam the shower door shut, the glass panel would not shatter. Tempered glass is important in providing safety, security, and the durability that you need for the room. The style of the glass and the glass type is a personal decision, is it clear glass, frosted, or will it have a pattern? Have your custom glass company representative provide you with a complimentary onsite visit allowing you to explore different custom glass shower door options. You will be able to get a good idea on what would look best in your bathroom. Let’s face it; a quality design could end up being an excellent addition to your home’s value. And if the new upgrade makes you happy in your home, then you get an extra benefit which you will enjoy and experience daily.
Overall Shape of the Shower Enclosure
When selecting a glass shower enclosure, you receive the benefit of controlling the shape of the glass shower enclosure. You can customize the overall shape of the shower enclosure. Many people opt for a rectangular look, and it is the most common. But if that is not the form you prefer, and you are looking for something different, you can get a custom glass shower door to fit your wants and needs.
Frameless Shower Enclosures and Frameless Glass Doors
Frameless shower door designs are available and are becoming more desirable. With the frameless shower door design, you can choose to have the frameless shower glass cut in various shapes and sizes. As long as the alcove for the frameless glass shower door is large enough, you can have the glass cut without having to worry about any metal in the frame. Instead, a seamless transition is created by frameless doors, allowing you to have a very clean, open, and modern look within your bathroom. A semi-frameless glass option is also available for your new shower.
Privacy
All sorts of different shower door enclosures are available, and the glass can provide as much privacy as you desire. Depending upon the overall layout of the bathroom, it may be directly in front of a mirror. If you don’t want to look over and see yourself, or you don’t want others to walk in and get a full view of you while in the shower, you may want to opt for some level of privacy glass. Privacy glass can provide you with the peace of mind of knowing that should you share the bathroom, anyone that enters will not detract from your privacy.
