If you’re in the process of choosing a shower enclosure, there are a few things to consider. Luckily, an obvious answer would be glass shower enclosures. Glass doors have so much variety, not to mention that these are easily customizable. On that note, here’s how to find the perfect glass shower door for your bathroom.

Set your budget

When choosing glass shower doors, make sure you have already researched the average marketing price for the product. This will also allow you to narrow down the list of options.

Consider the functionality

After you had set your budget, or even during your research, you may have already considered the functionality of your glass shower door. There are tons of benefits when it comes to choosing this option as compared to that of a shower curtain. For one, you can ensure that your bathroom floor remains dry, so you don’t slip.

Take into account your bathroom space

While glass shower doors are very versatile, it is still important to take into account the space you currently have in your bathroom so that when you install the doors, you can fully optimize every inch of the room.

Consider your personal decorating style

Your personal decorating style should filter any renovation concerns. Luckily, a glass shower door is so versatile that it would be difficult to find one you like.

Consider your door style

Another thing you need to consider when finding the perfect glass shower door for your bathroom is the door style. There’s a plethora of door styles when it comes to a glass shower door. However, you can only choose one. The standard size of a shower opening would be around 22 and 35 inches. If you have this, you won’t be able to fit a sliding door. In this case, your best pick can be a pivot shower door.

Consider your glass style

When it comes to glass style, choosing one is rather imperative. You can choose clear glass, opaque glass, or frosted glass. After choosing one, there’s another layer of options. Would you like something tempered, or would you rather have laminated glass?

If you choose clear glass, you can create an illusion of a larger space since you can see through it. However, if your priority is complete privacy while in the shower, you’ll have better luck with frosted or opaque glass.

Choose between framed or frameless

As mentioned, glass shower doors are very versatile. In today’s market, there are several options for door style, glass style, and more. The frameless option can be a steal because it prevents mold growth in its crevices. On the other hand, depending on the frame you choose, you can achieve a more luxurious look for your bathroom.

Whatever you opt for, make sure that you have done proper research. Lucky for you, all of the information you need has been laid out above. The next step would be to speak to a producer and manufacturer of glass products for residential and commercial properties.
