Replacing the shower doors in your bathroom may drastically change the appearance of your room. There are a number of options for your shower enclosure, but one of the most crucial decisions is whether you want a framed or frameless glass shower door. Here’s what you need to know before purchasing:
Framed Shower Doors
Framed shower doors have a heavy-duty aluminum frame around the edges and several advantages. The frame gives good stability and has a decreased likelihood of shattering. They’re also easier to install and come with a track to keep water in the shower instead of on your bathroom floor.
Framed shower doors, on the other hand, have a smaller range of motion and are more difficult to maintain. Metal frames surrounding the doors can decay with time as a result of too much moisture, and soap scum around the margins might cause mildew to develop. If you want a more modern look, they’re also rather outdated.
Frameless Shower Doors
Tempered glass panels are used in frameless glass shower doors, which are strong on their own and don’t require metal support to work. These shower doors may be found in a number of styles and configurations, giving more focus to the rest of your bathroom’s elements. They also have a larger range of pivoting inward and outward than traditional shower doors. Maintenance is also easier because there are no soap scum havens for latches to get caught in.
Installation is a more involved process however, because the contractors need to set up the hinges with precise specifications. Frameless shower doors also tend to be more expensive than the other options.
