Every home remodel is exciting. It
gives you the ability to refashion your home for your needs in the coming years
and update the design and features. One of the most impactful remodels is a
bathroom. Whether it’s adding a new bathroom or remodeling an existing one, a
bathroom remodel can dramatically change the look and feel of your home. For
your update, consider including a glass shower
enclosure in your new
bathroom.
Unlike shower curtains, which can feel
like barriers and make a space feel smaller, glass enclosures open up a room.
They have a minimalist, visual aesthetic when compared to the designs on most
shower curtains, which become the focus of the bathroom. That sort of focal
point can take away from appreciating the overall design of the bathroom,
including the shower itself. A glass enclosure allows you to enjoy the space of
the room, making the space feel larger and detailed.
Design options available
There are several design options for
glass shower enclosures. The categories include shower shape, door type, and
frame style. For shower shapes, a few of the most popular are alcoves, where
the shower is surrounded on three sides with the shower stall and one side of
glass, and hexagonal, which are great for corners, and are five-sided, three of
which are glass. For glass door types, there are hinged,
like regular doors, sliding doors, and fixed. Fixed configurations have no door
but have one or two sides of glass, and an open side that allow for easy
entrance and exit. Frame styles can range from frameless, which are
nearly all glass, to frames that showcase different metal finishes.
Glass types
Bathroom glass can be a wide range of
styles, though all shower glass is tempered which provides additional strength
and safety. In the rare event of glass breaking,
tempered glass will break into large, dull pieces.
There is a range of styles of tempered bathroom glass, from clear glass that
allows you to visualize the shower design, to tinted glass that provides
complete privacy. In between these two options are frosted, designed, and rain
glass, which obscure the shower, providing privacy but
still allowing light in. Regardless of the design you choose, a glass shower
enclosure is a great way to enhance your remodel.
