Picking out a new shower door is not as transparent as it seems! You’ll have to consider many factors, like size, functionality, and design. A frameless glass shower door is one of the most beautiful additions to any bathroom - it’s sleek, modern, stylish, and easy to clean. It creates light and space if your bathroom is small. You’ll have a lot of options when it comes to designs, so you can match it to your existing decor. Here’s how to choose the right frameless shower door for your bathroom from some classic designs.

Frameless Shower Doors

Frameless shower doors are made with high-quality tempered glass (meaning it’s chemically treated to increase its strength). They can slide or open up, depending on what you’d like it to do. Most are custom-built depending on the size and scope of your shower or bath area. Keep in mind that even frameless shower doors require some metal (hinges and thin frames), so you’ll have to consider that in the design.

If you have a large bathroom, a simple glass door in the shower area will make your room look spacious and elegant - and won’t draw away from any other design focal points. If your bathroom is on the smaller side, consider frameless sliding glass doors that won’t get in the way of functionality. It’ll also reflect light, making your bathroom look bigger.

Shower Design

You can choose how much of a frame you want. Some prefer the look of a simple metal strip framing the outside of the shower - or a semi-frameless shower door. You can customize the glass as well as how much of a metal frame you want. You can go for a completely clear shower enclosure that doesn’t break your budget and still looks elegant. Or, you can choose to have etched glass (or frosted glass) if you’d like a little bit of privacy. You can choose designs to engrave in the etched glass so that it matches the rest of your decor as well. It’s best to talk to your local glass shop and have them design the perfect piece for your tastes.

You can have multiple shapes, so don’t worry if your shower or bathtub isn’t in the optimal position. We offer corner glass showers, curved shower doors, or any other design that suits your space and your needs.

Benefits of Frameless Shower Doors

Other than the incredible design of a sleek and flawless glass enclosure - frameless shower doors actually have many benefits. For one, they are easy to clean, which is great for any family conscious of spreading germs. On the other hand, shower curtains can have a plethora of bacteria if not properly kept. Some glass shower enclosures are barrier-free or are easy to open and work with, providing seamless transitions for the elderly, disabled, or wheelchair-bound. Finally, glass shower doors are the best for keeping water off the floor. Even the best shower curtains can’t always do that. Keeping water from spraying everywhere means you’ll have less mold and water damage in the long run, so glass frameless shower doors aren’t just good-looking, they’re the best for practicality and longevity.
