Glass Shower Design Ideas

Glass showers are becoming increasingly popular and if you are considering installing one in your home, there is sure to be a design which will really appeal to you. This is not only in true of the glass shower doors that will be installed but it is also generally true of the entire shower enclosure. Here are some of the things that really stuck out when I was looking for glass shower doors.

Glass shower design isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. You can get custom shower glass doors in a wide range of glass sizes, types and tints, but what you really want to focus on first is glass thickness. Think you can get by with lightweight, thinner doors? Sure, you can, but you'll end up replacing them more often. Here's what you need to consider if you want your glass shower design to go the distance.
Many people like to spend a lot of time on this type of project, and looking for the different and unique items that are available is often more enjoyable for these people than the actual installation, itself. The same is also true with glass shower doors, and there were dozens of designs which I found to be appealing, both in a visual sense and because of their functionality.
Far too many individuals simply allow themselves to go with clear glass showers. Although this can certainly be nice looking, and it does help to make a smaller bathroom look larger, there are also a number of different designs that you may want to consider for the shower glass doors as well. These range from a variety of different types of etched glass to designer glass, that will have a repeating pattern.
If you look at some of the custom etched shower glass doors that are available on the Internet, you will probably find a design that appeals to you. What you may also want to consider, however, is spending a little bit more money and having somebody etch a custom designed in the glass that is of your own making. Many people do the first initial of their last name, but you might also want to do a special kind of design, just in case you sell the house at some point in the future.

It only takes one moment for a shower glass panel or door to break or shatter. If you build custom shower glass doors RIGHT from the beginning, they'll be safer and will last longer no matter how often the shower is used on a daily basis. When you choose to save a bit of money by choosing thinner glass, you're actually putting your safety at risk. If you're renovating your existing bathroom shower or starting from scratch, your best bet is to reach out to a professional shower door installer.
