Choosing Between Framed and Frameless Shower Enclosures

Image
Many homeowners are making the switch to walk-in showers instead of the classic-shower and tub combination. While it’s possible to have a glass door installed on a traditional stall, glass shower enclosures have become very popular.  Glass shower enclosures come in two major varieties: frameless or framed. Here are a few of the differences between these types. Constructions A  framed shower enclosure  consists of panes of glass with metal frames. Contractors use these frames to hold the panes together to make the stall. For a frameless shower, contractors use a heavier grade of glass because there’s no framework to provide stability. Instead, the panels are attached to the walls and each other with discrete hardware. Budget With a  framed glass enclosure , contractors are using simple metal and a standard grade of glass. There doesn’t need to be quite as much expertise in the construction either. With frameless glass, contractors must create a seamless look and use a

Corner Shower Enclosures

Corner shower enclosures are very similar to quadrant enclosures. However, quadrants are rounded, corner enclosures go for a straight edged look which makes for cleaner lines and provides much neater look in the bathroom. The style of enclosures is one of the most compatible with bathrooms as it will fit in virtually any corner assuming there is enough room. The straight line design provides much greater showering area than many other similar model enclosures. The doors are similarly fashioned to quadrant enclosures in which they are often centered and slide to either side; thus creating a generous entry area to get in and out of the shower. With all shower enclosures and doors featuring toughened safety glass, you can be assured that safety and durability were prime factors in the manufacturing process.
