Implementing glass in your home comes with multiple options for thickness, design, and shape. Shower doors are an important privacy and design aspect of your bathroom. If you are looking for a modern look in your home, frameless shower doors are the way to go. Frameless doors are made of tempered glass and don’t require the support of metal frames. They give a modern and tidy appearance to bathrooms and help your shower fit seamlessly with the rest of the bathroom design. Below are more about frameless shower doors and how they can improve your home.
Moyes Glass offer framed and frameless shower doors for homeowners to choose from. No matter what atmosphere you are looking for in a master bathroom or guest bathroom, frameless doors are the less stressful option.
1- Multidirectional Doors
Hinges for frameless shower doors can swing outward and inward. Because of this feature, you limit the risk of injury, can access the shower from any direction, and eliminate limitations for door placement.
Frameless shower doors can help in small bathrooms that have limited space. Since the doors can swing in both directions, if you don’t have much door clearance, swinging the shower doors inward can help give you better access to your shower and counter space.
2- Customizable For Many Different Bathrooms
Some homes have odd-shaped bathrooms or limited space. If you are looking to remodel your old cramped bathroom, frameless doors are the best customizable option. They can be made of different shapes and sizes and fit better because they are just a pane of glass. Fewer restrictions will help you to achieve your modern bathroom design without too much hassle.
3- Enhance The Rest Of The Bathroom Design
Because the doors are solid glass, they help enhance the look and feel of your bathroom. They make the space feel airy and open and can draw your attention to your stonework or tile. The distractions are limited when it comes to frameless doors, but the downside is that anyone can see into the shower. This means you will need to keep it clean and tidy or it can ruin the entire appearance of your bathroom.
4- Easier To Clean And Maintain
Because frameless shower doors lack a frame, they are much easier to clean and maintain. A frameless door eliminates grime build-up and lowers the number of future needed repairs. There are fewer components such as small crevices, tracks, and corners, to maintain and worry about when you choose this type of shower door.
5- Less Corrosion
Metal frames are prone to rust, corrosion, and mold. By eliminating the frame from your shower door, your shower will last much longer and require less maintenance. Corrosion can lead to high repair costs or lead to you purchasing a completely new shower door. Glass doesn’t corrode, so frameless has a longer lifespan and is a good option for bathrooms that see daily use.
Some Drawbacks Of Frameless Shower Doors
While there are many benefits of frameless shower doors, there are always going to be drawbacks or potential cons that homeowners will need to weigh against the pros. The elegance of the design can also come with higher costs (literally and metaphorically).
One of the biggest drawbacks for certain homeowners is the price point of frameless shower doors. The creation and installation costs can range from $900 to thousands of dollars. If you have previously had a framed shower, the price to remove this frame and old shower materials will also add to the cost.
Glass is not indestructible, so it can shatter or crack without notice. Shower doors can be unstable or susceptible to fast movements or high heat.
Complicated installation is also a drawback of frameless doors. Even a professional company can take multiple days or over a week to take measurements, create, and install the doors securely.
Why Shower Doors Are Made Of Glass
Besides their resistance to water and mold growth, glass is used for bathrooms because of its elegance and ability to enhance your bathroom design. Glass doors are easier to clean and help keep your home healthy by reducing the risk of bacteria growth in humid places.
Glass can break, but in the majority of cases, it is durable. Using tempered glass also helps to limit the risk of shattering and is now commonplace in bathrooms.
