Benefits of a Custom Frameless Glass Shower
When choosing a glass shower, you'll come across a range of varieties, including custom frameless models. An explanation of the benefits of these showers follows below.
Personalisation Options
You can customise frameless shower screens in countless ways to harmonise them with your bathroom. For instance, pick from clear, frosted, or patterned glass. While transparent screens let in light to evoke openness, frosted and patterned screens offer privacy.
As well, you can create whatever shape and size enclosure you wish. You could, for example, fit a hexagonal or rounded shower against the corner walls of the bathroom — a space-saving option for small areas. In an ample bathroom, though, you could install a generous rectangular enclosure against a travertine tile backdrop, with a stone-clad bench seat. When planning a frameless shower, you won't have to settle for standard shapes and sizes that don't do your bathroom justice.
Svelte
A frameless model that uses sturdy glass doesn't need bulky metal edging that interrupts the silken glass. Thus, it allows beautiful tiles to reveal their colours and textures. If you spread the same tiles along the wall and floor both inside and outside the shower, the bathroom will present a clean and uncluttered picture. Conversely, framed showers are rimmed with metal edging around all screens that break up the surfaces.
Durable and Safe
Frameless showers are durable, consisting of thick toughened glass panels that don't easily break. These screens undergo a unique tempering process that involves rapid heating and cooling to generate screens with more strength than standard window panes. If they do break, the shower screens crumble into harmless rounded cubes rather than nasty pointy shards.
Easy to Clean
Because frameless showers consist of glass with little metal trimming, they're easy to clean. You can wipe over the surface with a cloth or squeegee. And you'll not have to worry about scrubbing the nooks and crannies provided by metal channels and extensive hardware.
Wide entrance
If you install a swinging door, you'll create a wide entryway that will help family members with mobility issues to access the shower more easily. Your bathroom layout will require enough floor space for the swinging arc, however.
Thus, a custom frameless shower offers a range of benefits. You can personalise its look with your choice of shape, size, and glass to generate a shower that evokes a sleek effect. As well, the toughened glass they use is easy to clean without metal tracks that encourage dirt. You'll be able to make life easier for everyone to access the shower with a swinging door that creates a wide opening.
