Frameless Shower Doors & Enclosures
A frameless shower door enclosure is either 3/8″ or 1/2” thick tempered and polished glass which is
strong and durable enough to use nominal hardware to secure panels in place instead of using metal
to strengthen them.
What are the advantages of a frameless shower door?
A frameless shower door will increase the value of your home, lasts three to four times longer than a
framed or sliding shower door, and eliminates almost all the metal framing. In addition, your frameless shower door can always be cleaned to “like new” condition. Frameless doors open in and out versus a framed shower door, which opens out only.
Do they cost more than a framed shower door?
The initial cost is more for a frameless glass door, however in the long run, frameless shower doors
are less expensive and open up your bathroom.
Do they increase the value of a home?
Yes, most definitely! Whether you are going to sell your home now or in ten or twenty years from now, a frameless shower door enclosure can always be cleaned to “like new” condition and will enhance and beautify the bathroom with a touch of elegance. The bathroom and the kitchen are the most looked at areas in a home from prospective buyers.
What decisions do I need to make when purchasing one and what are
the most common things to be considered in the design of your shower:
Hardware Options
It’s hard to argue with the appeal of a solid glass shower enclosure. No other shower stall enclosure looks as nice as those thick clear plates of glass with a hinged door. They are substantial in weight, look, and have the feel of solid quality. When you put a considerable investment into your shower enclosure, why not spend a little time choosing hardware that suits your taste.
