Typically, the most prominent element in a bathroom is the shower, and thus, its design will significantly impact the space. Consider the following ways a custom frameless glass shower screen will enhance your bathroom.

Create A Sense Of Space

Frameless glass showers evoke a sense of spaciousness. These structures have minimal supporting metal hardware, which makes the screens almost invisible. Thus, standing in the room, your eyes can reach all areas. Conversely, heavy frames and curtains block off the shower region, reducing the feeling of expansiveness. They visually wall off the enclosure. Whether your bathroom is large or small, a sense of openness is vital as it's hard to relax if you feel cramped and confined.

Highlight Other Features

Frameless transparent glass screens tend to highlight other beautiful elements in the room so you can go to town with travertine wall and floor tiles in dusky pink and ivory, for example. The metal on fully framed showers, in contrast, grabs attention away from other attributes of the decor.

Maximise Your Bathroom's Size

With the flexibility of a custom frameless design, you can arrange your bathroom to maximise its size. For example, in a small space, consider a rounded or hexagonal enclosure that preserves the general open-access floor area. In a vast bathroom, however, you might fit a generous rectangular shower that stretches from wall to wall. 

Create A Bright Ambience

Polished smooth surfaces rebound light, and glass is an expert reflector. Therefore, these shower screens will increase the brightness of the bathroom, making the most of both natural and artificial illumination. This is particularly helpful if a room has a small window. Knocking out wall sections to make the opening larger is a massive renovation. Installing a glass shower is much simpler, and it will maximise what incoming light is available.

Durable And Safe

You can relax when using these showers, knowing that they use appropriate safety glass as dictated by building regulations. Your enclosure will consist of toughened glass that may also be laminated. Toughened glass goes through a process that renders it about four times tougher than regular float panes in windows. Laminated glass consists of two glass panels and a resin interlayer that are glued together. The plastic centre will typically hold everything together should it crack, much like a car windscreen would. 

Increase Resale Value

Frameless glass showers evoke a sense of luxury and prestige. If you're considering selling in the near future, installing one in your home could increase its value to potential buyers.
