Advantages of Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Glass shower enclosures minimize the risks of falls associated with dark bathrooms.
Frameless glass shower enclosures are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. For those reasons, they have become increasingly popular additions to many homeowners’ bathrooms.
But what other advantages do frameless glass shower enclosures bring to the table?
Banish shadows and darkness in the bathroom
Glass shower enclosures minimize the risks of falls associated with dark bathrooms. They are clear and do not have any opaque surfaces that can block out light. Furthermore, they provide an expansive view that draws attention to other interior design details in the bathroom, such as tiles and other fixtures.
Less room for dirt collection
Frameless glass shower enclosures generally require low to no maintenance. There are no potential spots or crevices that can trap dirt, grime, or soap scum. Homeowners can easily wipe the interior and exterior of the enclosure with a non-abrasive cloth or squeegee after showering.
More design options
Homeowners have many customization options when installing frameless glass shower enclosures. They can select clear, frosted, or textured glass. Additionally, glass enclosures give more flexibility in terms of shape and size.
Unlike traditional designs, homeowners can customize their doors by choosing any design, from pivot and sliding doors to folding doors.
Sturdy and built to last long
Glass is delicate and dangerous when shattered. However, this need not be a concern because the glass that goes into the shower is tempered. This means it has been made strong through heat and chemical treatment. Typically, it’s up to four times sturdier than regular glass. And even if it breaks due to heavy impact, it will shatter into pebbles that are less likely to cause injuries.
Make the bathroom space appear large
The transparent shower design allows homeowners to have an uninterrupted visual flow. This gives the perception of more space and makes the bathroom seem larger, which is especially beneficial in smaller houses.
Reduce environmental pollution
Glass is a recyclable material. Tempered glass production for frameless showers also uses fewer raw materials than other enclosures. Using frameless glass shower enclosures aligns with sustainable living practices without sacrificing comfort.
Boost home value
Potential buyers find homes with elegant interior designs more attractive. The smooth and modern feel of frameless glass shower enclosures gives a house more allure in the real estate market. Homeowners can cost-effectively install them and add value to their homes for resale.
Easy restoration after damage
Repairing a frameless glass shower enclosure is relatively easy. The reason is that individual components of the glass shower enclosure can be repaired or replaced without the need for large-scale deconstruction. Such selective repairs help to reduce the overall costs.
More than a bathing space
These and other advantages have contributed to the popularity of frameless glass shower enclosures. Homeowners can seek professional assistance to elevate their bathroom’s interior appeal.
