Gone are the days where you need to have metal frames to contain the glass of your shower door. Frameless glass shower doors are very popular and they look really good in any bathroom. Not only do frameless shower doors look better, they are note prone to corrosion because there are no metal parts.

They are also much, much easier to clean and last a lot longer. There are no crevices collecting dirt, just one clear sheet of glass that does not have anywhere for soap scum to deposit, grow mold and cause corrosion. With just a good glass cleaner it’s possible to have your shower looking like brand new, just with a good clean.

3/8″ to ” thick tempered safety glass is normally used and this is a lot more scratch resistant and durable compared to a thick glass table top you might see in a dining room.

When renovating your bathroom and using a glass frameless shower door, you can increase the value of your home. And it doesn’t matter if you’re planning on selling your home as soon as possible, or in a few years time. The frameless shower doors are so durable they will still be looking great many years down the track. A few things to consider when picking out your glass frameless shower door:

*Frameless shower doors can swing in or out, so decide which side you want to place the hinge.

*If you’re placing the shower door in between to sheets of glass do you want to use glass-to-glass hinges or a pivot hinge. A pivot hinge might need to be used if you intend to have a towel bar on the wall against which the door will open (thereby stopping the door from hitting the towel bar).

*What finishes will you use on the shower door fixtures and will you be keeping them the same finish as the rest of the bathroom.

* Do you want a pull handle, pull knob, or pull handle towel bar combination on your frameless shower door?

 * Do you want a towel bar on a fixed panel of glass?
