If you have never experienced the luxurious feeling of showering in a frameless glass shower; you are missing a delightful experience of cleanliness, openness, and light. But the question was “why should you buy a frameless shower”?
Cleaner
The clean appearance of thick, frameless glass panels makes your shower the focal point of the bathroom.
Hygienic and Easy to Maintain
With no crevasses, frameless glass panels are far easier to clean than framed panels. The metal parts of stainless steel instead of aluminum are also easier to maintain. You won’t have to worry about cleaning gunk, off of bulky metal parts.
Modern
Opening the strong, tempered glass doors of a frameless glass shower enclosure are a far different experience than using the rattling shower doors of old. Also, shower designs such as the ‘neo-angle shower’, are at the top of the bathroom trends heap.
Durable & Superior Craftsmanship
The thick tempered glass is far less likely to break. The subtle hardware of a frameless shower stay in place and are fastened through holes drilled in the glass; unlike the shower doors of big box retailers, whose thin glass is held together by glue inside poor quality aluminum hangers. Also, the superior craftsmanship of high-quality materials and thicker glass makes our frameless glass shower doors one of the longest lasting enclosures in the industry!
Clear Shield Glass Protectant
To make your life easier still, add Clear Shield, a treatment that bonds to the glass and makes your glass shower “hydrophobic” and keeps it very clear, as the water beads off of your glass.
Shows Off Tile work Easily
A frameless glass shower door will showcase your delicate tile work. There is no bulky hardware to hinder the view of your tiles, and with the option of HD glass, you can even get rid of any greenish hue, for a crystal-clear visual in your bathroom.
Adds Value to Your Home
Making a frameless glass shower the focal point of your bathroom will increase the value of your home. Research shows that such a bathroom upgrade is one of the best ways to increase the future purchase price of your home.
Fully Customizable
You get to configure your frameless glass shower the way you want it. Down to the size, height, width, glass type, hardware color, and hardware types.
A Sleeker, Brighter, Bigger Bathroom
Removing bulky, “framed” hardware and adding more glass has significant benefits to the user and homeowner. With a frameless glass shower door, light is not impeded making it brighter, and the bathroom will also appear larger and more spacious!
Environmentally Friendly
One thing to consider – those vinyl shower curtains are proven to be toxic. The carcinogens found in PVC plastic that is used to create those ugly vinyl curtains can be harmful to the environment when disposing of them. Have you ever had mold growing on a plastic shower curtain? Have you ever had the curtain try to wrap around you while showing? Gross! With a frameless glass shower door, you have none of those concerns or problems!
Recyclable
The glass is also recyclable. On the other hand, vinyl shower curtains have to be regularly replaced (costing you money and time.) When they are thrown out, unless they are recyclable, they don’t decompose and just add to the tons of waste burried in the ground.
So why not turn your outdated bathroom into an oasis of luxury where you can pamper yourself? It does not take much to turn your bathroom into space where you will want to spend more time. A space where you can retreat into a haven of relaxation and blissful solitude; and the space from where you can emerge soothed, refreshed, and re energized.
Sounds better than your moldy, not-so-fabulous vinyl shower curtain that is hiding some not-so-microscopic bacteria? You’re probably right; it’s time to upgrade and unwind after a long day of work in your own private getaway that will put any spa to shame!
