There is something about shower doors. I mean normally I
wouldn’t notice one but after my return from Germany, that is the only thing
stuck in mind: how to upgrade my shower door? Well to be honest it was
something I had seen in movies or in magazines but to experience it in reality
is a whole new ballgame. The frameless
shower door is here to stay and it most definitely adds an extra spunk to
the house.
These shower doors
are becoming increasingly popular bathroom fixture and give a modern yet
sophisticated feel to the bathroom décor. Its high end appearance is inimitable
in terms of style and for which many homeowners choose it over any other shower
doors. They have their own advantages and disadvantages which have been
discussed below.
The advantages of installing frameless shower door are aplenty a few of which are as
follows:
- The glass doors give a stylish appeal to your bathroom. As I said earlier on you have to see it to believe it. It uplifts the environment of your entire bathroom and gives a sophisticated feel which is better than any door with a normal frame.
- Since they are made of tempered glass the fear of cracking is less. No matter how many times you accidentally bump into them they hold on.
- They are extremely easy to maintain since the glass comes to direct contact with the bathroom tiles and eliminating chances of corrosion that builds up on metal frameworks. A simple squeegee can be used to wipe off the water from the door.
- It gives a quick and easy way to increase your home value and boost the selling price.
- It also channels creative flexibility while choosing a height or coordinating a particular style to your bathroom.
Though a few, the disadvantages of installing this shower
door are:
- Primarily it costs a fortune. Since it involves using better quality of product it can cost a fortune for the homeowners who wish to install it.
- The small gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the floor will cause some of the water to leak on the floor. So water resistant flooring should also be installed to keep parity with the frameless doors.
