Pros and Cons of Frameless Shower Doors

Frameless doors dispense with this feature, leaving an all-glass entrance with nothing obstructing its transparency. Because they don’t have framing, frameless shower doors use a thicker form of tempered glass to ensure the door stays functional and durable.

• More Open Space; Shower curtains and framed shower doors segment a bathroom space, making it look smaller. Frameless shower doors don’t do this; they create the illusion of space because they allow a bathroom feel more open and airy
   
• Customization; Traditional shower doors are mass-produced in set standard sizes, but the majority of frameless shower doors are customizable. Owners have greater freedom to design the shower to fit the bathroom, instead of the other way round.
   
• Wide range of motion; Their hinges allow the door to pivot inward and outward, meaning the glass doors can be opened from any direction. Framed shower doors open in only one direction.
   
• They are easier to maintain; With a frameless shower door, there are no grooves where dirt, moisture and soap scum can hide. It makes the door easier to clean. Additionally, they have fewer components, and the parts are more comfortable to replace than those of a framed shower door.
   
• Lower risk of mold; The seal on framed shower doors provides the perfect place for moisture to hide and mold to grow. Mold growth in the shower has numerous dangers. Since frameless shower doors lack frames, the risk of mold and it’s health hazards are significantly reduced.
   
• Eliminate the risk of corrosion; The most common reason for replacing framed shower doors is corroded metal. Without metal framing and hardware that rusts, frameless shower doors last longer.
   
• It complements the bathroom’s existing design; Installing frameless shower doors does not require the existing style and design of a bathroom to be updated. In addition to completing the current model, it directs attention towards other design elements of the bathroom; it does not compete.
   
• Minimalist and ageless design; A frameless shower door, although modern, is unlikely to become dated. The entry is sleek and trendy, and yet ageless in appearance. Additionally, it is a spa-like addition that is an added benefit to any bathroom.
   
• Boost Property Value; Bathrooms, along with kitchens, sell homes. A frameless shower door adds even more class and luxury to the bathroom and increases the home’s value.
