Frameless Showers: The Cool, New Trend

Remodeling or designing your custom bath vanity or shower will often take much more energy than you think. As our construction ability and knowledge improves, additional types of sinks, decorative bathroom mirrors and many other bathroom accessories have become available. One of the most popular styles of improvements currently available during remodeling is the frameless glass shower. This will add a touch of elegance to your bathroom and the entire house, and can be a specially valuable asset when attempting to resell a house for a profit. The price that you will pay to have a frameless shower installation will be well worth it when you consider the serious upgrade that you will be doing for your house, as well as its value.

Using only small hinges to connect all of the walls, frameless showers can be designed to consist of two, three or even a four-sided glass wall, using the wall of your bathroom to cover the remaining sides. The glass that is used in making any frameless shower is much thicker than any normal sliding glass shower door, and is specially designed to shatter into small, round shards instead of sharp pieces in the event of any breaking or shattering. Thresholds installed on both ends of the glass walls will add increased strength and security, while the seals that are applied at the top and bottom of the doors will prevent any water from escaping or leaking onto your bathroom floor.

Since there are no hard-to-reach slides or areas of the frameless glass walls that would easily build dirt or mold, the cleaning process of this type of shower is exponentially easier than any sliding door. There will be no nooks and crannies for water and grime to build up, and the complete glass construction will make it easy to point out any smudges or marks that need to be cleaned. If you are concerned about your comfort level in a transparent shower, clouded or fogged glass can easily be installed instead to make you able to relax during your shower.

All frameless showers maintain a design that keeps all edges in the open and easily cleanable, and the various designs and colorings available make it easy to have either a feminine or masculine design. Bathroom cleaning will become one of the easiest chores available in the house once you choose to go frameless, and the beautiful appearance that will come along with your new shower and bathroom will have you wondering why you hadn't made the change sooner. So take the next step! Whether its only the shower you change, or the bathroom vanity as well, you'll be glad you did!
