If you’re tired of the same old tub-and-shower curtain routine and want a more upscale feel for your bathroom, glass shower doors and enclosures are the way to go. Let’s take a look at your options and how Angelo & Sons can help you make the right choice for your home as Denver’s premier glass shower contractors.
The Appeal of Glass Shower Doors
Glass shower doors turn your bathroom into a space that feels more expansive and airy. Without the visual clutter of curtains, glass doors create a clean, modern look that lets the rest of your bathroom design shine while allowing light to bounce and reflect. With glass shower doors, you can look forward to:
- Durability: Tempered glass is built tough to resist moisture, steam, and everyday wear, so you won’t have to worry about cracks or stains.
- Easy Maintenance: Glass is easy to wipe down and stays looking fresh with minimal effort. No more mold and sagging that’s part and parcel to curtains.
- Increased Home Value: A glass shower can make your home more attractive for potential buyers.
- Custom Fit: Angelo & Sons takes precise measurements to ensure your shower glass fits perfectly, so you get both beauty and lasting functionality.
Types of Shower Glass
Frameless Glass Doors
Frameless glass doors are the epitome of modern design. Without a metal frame around the edges, they give your bathroom a minimalist look that allows the space to feel larger and more open. If you’re into the “less is more” vibe, frameless doors are your go-to—they’re unobtrusive, stylish, and make a bold statement in any contemporary bathroom.
Framed Glass Doors
For those who want a bit more structure, framed glass doors offer the perfect mix of strength and style. The frame provides extra durability and support, making them a great option if you’re looking for something that feels a bit more traditional. Plus, you’ve got plenty of choices when it comes to frame finishes—chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze—you can easily match your bathroom’s aesthetic while still getting a sturdy, dependable option.
Semi-Frameless Glass Doors
Semi-frameless doors combine the best of both worlds with a thin frame around the edges which provides support without sacrificing that sleek look that makes frameless so desirable. It’s a nice middle ground for those who want a sophisticated style but still want a little extra structure in their shower setup.
Glass Panels for Walk-In Showers
With glass panels, you can create an open, walk-in shower that feels like your own personal spa. These panels can be used to define the shower area while keeping everything else wide open, letting light flood the space. The result is a high-end feel without any barriers that hold back the rest of the bathroom’s design.
Sliding Glass Doors
Sliding glass doors are an additional option that allows for slightly more space conservation in comparison to swinging doors. While this is a similar benefit with glass panel showers, sliding glass still enables a closed-off shower to prevent excessive splashing whereas panels are perpetually open.
Customization Options
The options don’t stop there. You can choose from a variety of glass finishes—clear glass for a crisp, open look, frosted glass for a touch of privacy, or etched designs that add a little personality to the mix.
It’s also worth looking beyond glass—hardware finishes are just as important in setting the tone. Consider switching up the material of the hardware (handle and hinges). Just like the frame, you can choose from chrome, brushed nickel, or even bronze.
Considerations Before Choosing Shower Glass
Before jumping into your shower glass decision, take a moment to consider your bathroom’s size and layout. A larger space might call for a frameless design, while a compact bathroom could benefit from a sliding door option. Also, think about your bathroom’s style— the glass type and hardware should complement the rest of the room’s aesthetic. And of course, your budget matters. Different glass and hardware choices can affect the price, so it’s always a good idea to chat with a trusted supplier and installer like Angelo & Sons to find the perfect fit for your home and budget.
