But how do you start?
There’s a lot to process while making decisions about installing a perfect glass shower enclosure. From style, and hardware, to budget, here are several things to consider while picking the best shower door enclosure for your bathroom.
Why shower enclosures?
Firstly, it adds space to your bathroom area!
Then, it also needs to withstand the everyday knocks and slams.
Third, it brings a stylish and practical showering solution, compared to a normal bath. You can come in and out with ease and it is ideal for replacing a regular bath!
So, here are a few tips to choose a perfect glass shower enclosure
- The bathroom space:
You’ll need to consider the available space for choosing to create a walk-in shower door enclosure or a sliding one. Is the shower enclosure for a family bathroom or a small space? You also need to consider where in the bathroom the shower enclosure is fitted, for example, a central position or a D-shaped enclosure.
- The decoration style:
There are plenty of styles available for choosing an adequate shower enclosure for your bathroom space. For example, a semi-circle or a rectangle shape can really enhance the bathroom’s design scheme, along with personal styling preferences. Also, adding a glass shower enclosure brings more light to your space.
A few common types of shower enclosures are:
Bypass shower doors which can work just as a sliding patio. They are space-efficient and also do not need much space to swing open.
- Hinged shower doors are coated, painted, or finished in a variety of colours.
- Frameless shower doors are made with thicker glass because they do not have a supporting frame.
- Glass sliding shower doors come with a handle in the middle of the door.
3. The shower door hardware:
Shower door hardware can create a unified look for the bathroom area. For example, the towel bars, door knobs, support bars, glass corner shelves, etc., can match your bathroom interior and create an inviting space. If your shower door is made of clear glass, then the enclosure finishes become very essential to give an all-glass look to the shower enclosures. These components should be uniform for a perfect shower enclosure space with finishes such as Nickel, Steel, Matte Black, and other options.
4. Type of shower glass:
In addition to the shape and style of the shower enclosure, you can also choose from a variety of shower glasses. However, all shower doors should come with safety glazing. Tempered glass is the most common one, as even if it breaks, it shatters into pellets, rather than shards.
5. A few other things to consider are:
- The enclosures should meet the Canadian Building Code standards
- Shower door enclosure hardware fittings are available in several finishes such as Chrome and Matte Black, so you can create a coordinated design
