When you are looking to update one or all of your bathrooms, you do not necessarily have to redecorate or make huge changes.
Something simple like using a skilled glass company LBI and elsewhere can really lift the room.
Rather than being stuck with old and less effective shower curtains, sliding glass doors are modern, effective and attractive.
You can get privacy with your choice of glass, you can get style with your choice of glass designs and you prevent water damage by keeping it in the enclosure or tub. Here is a closer look.
Exploring framed and frameless glass doors
Whether you choose framed or frameless, glass shower doors are a modern but timeless addition.
Whatever style, theme or colors you have in the bathroom, glass doors will work wonderfully. Frameless doors are ones that attach to the bottom and top of a bathtub or shower and then have sealed edges but no frame.
Framed doors have an often metal frame around them, like a picture frame.
Most commonly the frame is anodized aluminum but you can get bronze, nickel and even plastic frames. You will find as you look that the pricing for the two types is different.
You might also notice there are more options for frameless doors than for framed but that does depend on the professional glass company LBI you head to.
Understanding the glass
You can choose different thicknesses of glass depending on the doors and what you prefer. The glass is safety glass though so whatever type you choose it is very hard to break, and in case something does break it, it does not shatter into dangerous shards.
Safety glass breaks into something more like chunks. It is very strong though, and might crack and not break onto the floor at all.
You can choose between clear and more frosted types of glass depending on preference.
Frosted works if you want to make the shower area more private. It is good for bathrooms where people walk in and out while someone is showering, such as you might find in a home with only one bathroom!
You can also get smoked glass, different colors and different designs and etchings on the glass.
Additional glass shower door details
There are all kinds of other details that come along with glass shower doors such as hardware, top hanger rails, metal corners, bottom tracks, headers and so on.
When you choose an installation service that knows what they are doing they will ensure everything is there in order for it to be installed correctly.
Conclusion
When you are looking at your choice of glass shower doors, whether you choose sliding or some other option, you should consider things like glass designs, experience, quality of materials, knowledge, reviews and skill as well as price.
Investing in great glass doors can even add some value to a home.
People love a good up to date bathroom! Keep the space open, lighter and even feeling bigger with glass shower doors.
