Remodeling a bathroom is one of the most popular household upgrades because it is the quickest and easiest way to gain a good amount of equity in a home, but owners remodel for other reasons as well. Whether the room is outdated or just not functional, a bathroom is quickly becoming a place to retreat and relax after a hard day’s work. The room must be aesthetically appealing, and with the growing popularity of frameless shower doors, this task has become much easier.
Frame less shower doors are just what they sound like. Gone are the frames that lay across the top of the tub or the bottom of the shower on which you could hurt your foot by stepping on them. This difference is because the glass panel does not sit on a frame. There are many styles to choose from, but all contain the clean crisp look of a new shower. A frameless door can be purchased at the larger industrial stores that carry multiple mass produced brands including Kohler, American Standard, and Basco with prices ranging from $255- $700. They are easy to install and have a low maintenance requirement.[ReviewAZON asin="B000TF3JTA" display="inlinepost"]
Styles that are more exotic also can be purchased or even custom built through independent contractors. The cost is calculated on more than a mass produced style and is based on the actual bathroom designs. A homeowner can shape the design to fit into spaces that would previously be considered wasted. With the custom design, the shower is no longer limited to a tub or a square. You can angle the doors and even use shapes such as oblong. The doors themselves also can be changed up. They do not have to be a traditional clear glass door, but instead can be a fogged style, or even mirrored so people cannot look in, giving a person more privacy.
With so many different options to create a unique look of a bathroom, it is no wonder why so many homeowners choose a frameless shower door.
