Custom Glass Shower Doors Vs Shower Curtains - Which To Choose?

If you're still working with old shower curtains, now could be the time for you to change to custom shower doors instead. Instead of being bogged down with the constant mold, mildew and grime, these have major pros over a shower curtain. To begin with, they're simple to cleanse. All you've got to do is wipe down the doors with glass solution once in awhile and they'll look just like new instantly. Try getting that from a shower curtain!

You will also find many doors, which are specially treated so the water will just glide off and never discolor them. These might cost you a little bit more in the beginning, but when you think about just how much time you will save by not having to de-calcify them every other week or more, it might be well worth the expense over time. Should you neglect to keep a shower curtain dry it has a propensity to stain the curtain with black blotches which are tough to get rid of. Using custom doors in the shower doesn't come with this issue.

They also enable you to keep the rest of the bathroom dry. What they do is block off the shower space so that all water stays within that specific location. An additional advantage of shower doors is they don't take up a lot of room. In fact, custom-made doors are perfect for more compact bathrooms. Shower curtains are cumbersome and take up a lot of space.

As another option flat frameless shower screens, however, won't take up a lot of space at all since they only run along the form of the shower itself. If the doors slide, you won't even need to worry about them occupying space when they're open. Also, since it's see-through it'll make your bathroom look even bigger than it used to.

Amazing for their advantages, you will find precious few disadvantages to working with custom glass shower doors. The most common grievances would be the initial expenses and also the need for contracting with a glass company and getting them to set them up.

Still, these are fairly trivial problems considering that as soon as your doors are put in you'll have a gorgeous-looking shower which will continue to be high quality and low maintenance for a long time in the future.

Framed Vs Frameless - A Quick Lesson in Shower Doors

The Framed glass doors are the most common type of doors and glass panels used in shower and tub enclosures.  While the popularity of this style of door has made way for the sleek and clean lines of frameless glass doors, there have been new improvements in the look and finishes of the framed glass and metal trim.  Currently there are 14 different metal finishes and 7 different glass styles that I offer my clients for the framed glass shower panels and doors.  Much has changed since the old metal trim that was offered in only silver and gold.  The glass finishes are pretty impressive as well, although the majority of clients choose the clear glass to show off their new custom tile showers that we build.

It's important to note some practical tips and pros and cons of the two different styles when choosing your shower door.  The first consideration is how close the shower head will be to the door. The framed door is designed to seal shut with a magnetic strip and have additional rubber seals and sweeps to help prevent water from splashing out on to the bathroom floor.  When far enough away from the shower head, a frameless door and its quarter inch gap around the door is no longer a target for excessive splashing.  For sliding glass doors the splashing is less of an issue because the two panels overlap.

The next consideration is the price difference between the two products.  Because there is no frame holding and supporting the glass panels and doors, the glass is extra thick and heavy, making heavy duty hardware and supports a  necessity.  The exposed edges also need to be sanded after being cut.  All of this extra labor and materials pushes the price to almost twice as much as framed glass shower panels and sometimes out of the homeowners budget.  A nice brushed nickel or oil rubbed bronze finish on the shower frame is a nice alternative to frameless shower glass.

One last thing you may want to consider is whether the frameless door will work with your shower configuration.  With a metal framed door, the door can be positioned at almost any angle by using a special pivoting trim which the hinge track connects to.  The frameless glass door has hinges that rest in a certain position when the door is closed.  These hinges only allow for the door to rest at either 180, 135, and 90 degrees to the hinge panel.  The only way to solve this problem is to build a doorway at the desired angle and attach 90 degree hinges to the tiled opening.  Send us an email if you have any more questions about glass shower panels and tub enclosures.
