Glass tub shower doors are sleek and modern so they could be a better match for your standup shower and bathroom interior design. Glass is more of an investment, but glass is far more hygienic than shower curtains which are prone to mold. Shower curtains need continuous maintenance plus these are old-fashioned. A shower door may require your considerable budget but it will surely set the tone of your whole bathing space.
Types of Glass You Can Select for Your Shower Door
If you decide the glass is for you, you must also consider what type of glass you prefer. Here are your top options:
- Clear Glass Shower Doors—standard clear glass is the most popular option as it is modern and easy to clean. It has a mild green tint.
- Low-Iron Shower Glass—sometimes referred to as HD glass, this is a high-end clear option that has minimal green tint ensuring lifelike color when looking through the glass.
- Frosted & Opaque Glass Shower Doors—a sandblasted glass with a white finish. It is still sheer but offers a bit more privacy than clear glass.
- Tinted Glass Shower Doors—grey and bronze are popular colors for tinted shower doors. Still sheer and clear but the tinting may better match your interior design.
- Rain Glass Shower Doors—rain glass is textured on the inside and has a rain pattern on the outer side. A decorative option that offers more privacy than clear or frosted glass. The rain patterned outer side is more challenging to clean.
- Textured Glass Shower Doors—if rain glass isn’t right for you there are a variety of standard and custom glass patterns to choose from. The patterned outer side is more difficult to clean.
Different Types of Shower Doors
While choosing the type of glass that best match your interior design, you must decide the door type. Shower doors come in a number of styles. The list can get intricate but we won’t overload you with bulk of information. Here we will introduce you to the most common shower door style options that will help you understand your requirement
Sliding Shower Door
A traditional sliding door may be the best choice if you don’t have room for your door to swing open. More modern than a shower curtain but you’ll have to keep the frame clean.
Fixed Shower Glass
A shower screen is more modern and stylized than a traditional sliding door and will fit easily into small bathrooms. It’s a bi-fold design that folds in to open and close so your shower must be wide enough for entry.
SWING SHOWER DOOR
This type of door swings opens like a traditional shower door, which may not work in small bathrooms. It is modern and easy to clean as there is no frame.
What Is A Framed & Frameless Shower?
You must also determine if you want your shower door to have a metal frame or to be frameless. Here are the pros and cons of both options.
Framed Shower
Frames are a bit less expensive, fast, and easy to install and do a better job of keeping water in. While there are a variety of framing options to choose from, you are somewhat limited, and they are a bit dated in terms of design. They are also more difficult to clean and maintain than frameless doors.
Frameless Shower
Frameless shower doors have unlimited design options and offer a wider range of motion making them easier to enter and exit. They are easier to clean and maintain than framed doors, but without a frame, they are a bit less stable and water may get out. Installation is more difficult and takes a bit longer. Frameless is your most modern option in terms of design, which is why it is more expensive. However, the look and feel may make it worth the extra expense.
How To Choose The Right Glass Shower Door For Bathroom
No need to feel overwhelmed with loads of options that we have discussed earlier as the tips below will help you to narrow down your options according to your requirements.
Know Your Budget and Pricing
Begin by determining your budget beginning with framed or frameless shower doors and which type of glass suits your budget? Either you want to go for simple tempered glass or a glass with design patterns and glass comes with a colored option is your choice. of course more features and specifications you add will increase the cost.
What are Your Expectations?
Clear your mind, for what are you conscious about and what end result you exactly want? Either it’s the ease of cleaning, ease of use, or best fit in your space and whether you want your shower to be a standout in terms of design or just a standard shower to update your bathing space.
Know Your Space
You never want to enter or exit the shower to feel cramped or claustrophobic, so determine not only the measurements of your shower but how much room there is to open your shower door. If your shower is not a standard square or rectangular shape you may need a frameless shower door to accommodate your custom shape.
