Affordable frameless shower door installation and repair services
Whether homeowners are redesigning their bathrooms or building from scratch, the shower door is an important element of a bathroom. Oak City Glass, a shower door installation company, shares below the advantages of installing frameless shower doors in a bathroom.
What are frameless shower doors?
Frameless shower doors are panels of sturdy tempered glass that do not need metal support to be able to function, unlike framed glass shower doors. They offer a contemporary and aesthetic look that has gained popularity among homeowners. The panels in the frameless shower doors are held in place by clips, hinges, and caulk joints. Since there is no supporting frame in these doors, the glass thickness is at least 3/8” or 1/2” to achieve the requisite rigidity and stability. These doors often have a rubber “sweep” at the bottom to keep the water in the shower.
Benefits of frameless shower doors
1. Aesthetics and space
The sleek and modern look of a frameless glass shower door offers immense aesthetic appeal as well as a feeling of space. Frameless shower doors make the bathroom space feel larger as there is no obstruction of light or the line of sight. These doors also draw attention to the marble tiles or stonework which a framed shower door or curtain would otherwise hide. The feeling of space and light is magnified with a frameless door.
2. Low maintenance
Maintaining a shower door is one of the most tedious aspects of any bathroom. In framed shower doors, mold and mildew can grow easily in small and unreachable crevices and corners of the metal frames. Moreover, the frames tarnish after some time and ruin the appearance of the doors. A frameless shower door is much easier to clean and maintain as it does not have any corners where mold can grow and no metal that can get tarnished. These shower doors can retain their sleek and new look for years to come.
3. Flexibility and customization
The frameless shower door offers a vast array of customization options and flexibility. It provides several styles, sizes, and configurations. Homeowners can add metal hinges or handles to a frameless door for a unique look. The doors can be customized according to the space available in a bathroom. The hinges on the frameless doors allow the door to open inside as well as outside.
