Corner, Quadrant, Frameless Shower Enclosures

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 seaml...

Corner shower enclosures are very similar to quadrant enclosures.

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.
