Glass Shower Doors - A framed or frameless glass shower door can transform your bathroom's appearance!

Glass shower doors come in a range of styles and finishes, including etched, colored and molded glass. If you're planning on revamping your bathroom, then installing a stylish frameless shower door can have a big impact on the look and feel of your whole room. Frameless shower doors are made from tempered glass, which is extremely durable and hard to break. They offer a modern alternative to the more traditional framed doors, and can help create an illusion of spaciousness. Clear glass in particular is great for opening up a small bathroom and letting light shine through, as well as allowing any decorative bathroom tiles to be on display.

With frameless shower doors the hinges and handles can be attached directly onto the glass, for a neat and tidy finish. For a fully coordinated look, it's best to choose hardware that matches your bathroom faucets and other fixtures. Choices include gold-plated, chrome and stainless steel designs. They are designed to be easier to keep clean than shower doors with frames, in which dirt has a tendency to get trapped. Although nowhere near as cheap as shower curtains, shower screens and doors are built to last, and should provide an effective barrier from water spray for many years to come.

Shower doors are available in a selection of different designs and can be custom made to meet your specifications. Which one you choose will depend on the layout and size of your bathroom, not just on which looks the most attractive. Practical considerations should be taken into account when buying a frameless shower door. For instance, folding shower doors can lend a touch of elegance to a corner shower stall, but you'll need to ensure there's enough space for them to swing open into the room without bumping into your sink or vanity set. Sliding or neo-angle ones are more suitable for smaller bathrooms as they make more efficient use of a limited space.
