There are countless articles about them in magazines and on the Internet, they are pictured in all the latest examples of home style magazines and they seem to be almost everywhere you look. If you are like most people, you can't help wondering if these new shower doors are just another trend or if they are really as good as people say they are.
Here is a list of reasons why people are choosing frameless glass doors for their bathrooms. You can be the judge if these doors really have worthwhile benefits.
Ease of Cleaning
One of the most common reasons given why people are choosing to install frameless glass doors is because of the ease of cleaning. Since these doors have no metal frames where mildew and dirt can collect, cleaning is so much easier than with framed shower doors. You don't need to scrub all those little edges with a toothbrush nor worry about that disgusting build up in your shower.
Safety
The glass of these shower doors tends to be much thicker than that of framed glass shower doors and they are treated so that they are considered to be safety glass. This means that they are even less likely to shatter than framed glass doors, and if they do break they are designed to break into extremely small pieces that are less likely to cause injury than those larger sharp shards.
Long Lasting
In addition to the extra thick glass used in frameless showers adding safety to the shower, it also makes for a door that is more long lasting and durable than framed doors. Estimates say that these shower doors last up to three or four times longer than your framed glass shower doors making them more economical in the long run.
Looks
Frameless shower doors gives bathrooms an ultra modern look so for those people who are looking to modernise their bathroom on a budget, these doors can help them achieve that without having to completely redo the entire bathroom. In addition, not having a frame on your shower door gives the impression of added space which can make a huge difference in an extremely small bathroom.
Adds to Home's Value
These doors also add to the value of the home, so for people who are thinking of selling their home a couple of years down the road this can be another benefit. Home buyers often make the decision to buy based on kitchens and bathrooms. Having a shower door that adds to the bathrooms decor and makes the room look more modern will add value to the home.
Considering the benefits that these doors have and the reasons people have for choosing to purchase them it is understandable why everywhere you look you see frameless glass shower doors prominently displayed.
