Frameless Glass Shower Doors – The Best Way To Renovate

In the past, metal frames were needed around shower doors in order to hold the glass in place. But modern shower doors are now frameless which are much more popular with consumers. The frameless shower door not only looks better, but is actually longer lasting. With now metal frames required to hold the glass in place, there is less corrosion and deterioration of the materials.

Frameless glass shower doors are also much easier to keep clean since you do not have all the crevices from the metal in which the water and soap will deposit. These deposits create mildew and corrosion, actually decreasing the life of your shower doors. Frameless shower doors can also be cleaned to look like new with a good glass cleaner.

The frameless glass shower door glass is 3/8″ to ” thick with tempered safety glass, making it much more durable and scratch resistant than a thick glass table top you might see in a dining room.

You can increase the value of your home by installing a frameless glass shower door. Whether you are selling as soon as possible or in a few years time, your shower will still look as good as when you first installed it. This is because the frameless enclosures are so durable. Before choosing your frameless glass shower door, here’s a few things to look out for: *What side do you want to have your hinge on, as the frameless doors can swing inwards or outwards. *If your door is going in between two sheets of glass do you want to have glass-to-glass hinges or pivot hinges? You may need to use pivot hinges if the door is opening onto a wall with a towel bar (to stop the door hitting the towel bar).

*Will you have a pull handle, pull knob, or pull handle towel bar combination on the shower door? *Will you have a towel bar on a fixed panel of glass? *What finishes will you use on the shower door fixtures and will you be keeping them the same finish as the rest of the bathroom.

The first step in choosing your frameless glass shower enclosure is to look online. Many retailers will even be able to give you a quote before you head out to your local shower screen supplier.
