After several years of living in your house, you finally decided to give your bathroom a much-needed upgrade. First on the list is to get rid of your worn-out shower curtain that has been hanging in your bathroom for a while now. As you begin to explore your options for a replacement, you come across frameless shower doors that offer a seamless look to any bathroom. But do these types of doors keep the water within your shower? Let’s find out.
What are the benefits of a frameless shower door?
A frameless shower door is essentially a set of sturdy tempered glass panels that serve as an enclosure in your shower. Unlike its framed counterparts, you won’t see any metal support in a frameless door, which gives it a more elegant and modern look. You’ll be able to see things clearly because there are no metals that distract your view. This is why a lot of homeowners prefer frameless shower doors over framed ones because it adds that touch of style to their bathroom. But more than style, here are the other benefits to using this type of shower door:
- It has variety. With a frameless shower glass, you have a variety of sizes, thickness and configurations to choose from. Depending on your budget, you have the option to go for a thicker glass or use the typical one, which is cheaper but still offers good quality. You can even go for a semi-frameless shower door with metal enclosures around the sides or on top.
- It’s easy to maintain. Since you don’t have a frame to work with, a frameless shower door is a lot easier to maintain since grime and soap scum have no place to accumulate. You just need to clean it every few days with a simple glass cleaner and wipe down, and you’re good to go. Plus, if you ever need to replace a broken glass door, you can order a replacement from your supplier and the glass can be installed right away since it’s just panels.
- It can fit any style. Whether you have a traditional or modern bathroom style, a frameless shower door can blend in seamlessly with the rest of your space, so you don’t need to worry about making any major changes to it just to fit your shower door.
Is a frameless shower door waterproof?
The thing is; frameless shower doors are water-resistant but not completely waterproof. But the advantage of using this type of door as opposed to other options is that you have less chances of a leak, especially when you position your showerhead in a way that it doesn’t hit the gaps on the door itself. This way, you get to keep the water intact and have it drain directly. Good quality frameless shower doors are also installed with tracks that help to trap water inside, so you can avoid leaks.
