The Competition is Mute, Frameless Shower Doors For The Win

1. Increase the visual size of your bathroom

Bathrooms tend to have limited the space or if you have a large enclosed shower, can obstruct the visual aspect of your bathroom. You spend a significant amount of your time in the bathroom getting ready for work, brushing your teeth, combing your hair, etc. This may as well be your place of refreshment and peace after a long day.

2. Aesthetic Appeal

The perception of a beautiful open space and elegant design creates the feeling of pleasure in our brain. The result of oxytocin, endorphins and DHEA being released inside our brain stimulates how we feel towards our environment. Form, use, and beauty are the 3 universal aspects that make for a "beautiful" space in your home according to Don Ruggles (2017), a prominent architect in Denver, Colorado. These aesthetics can have a very positive effect on your stress level, general well-being, and happiness overall.

3. Natural Light Fills the Room

When natural light from the sun enters a room, it reflects off of surfaces in order to illuminate the room. Imagine a framed in shower compared to a frameless shower, the amount of framing that obstructs light entering the room is substantial in comparison.

4. Sanitation Benefits

Framed showers allow bacteria and mold to form in the "hard to clean" areas. With frameless glass, there's no need to worry with those 'hard to clean" areas. We also use DFI (Diamon-Fusion) Coating on all of our shower glass. Below are some benefits:

  • UV stable
  • 100% optically clear
  • Reduces cleaning by up to 90%
  • Impact and scratch resistant
  • 20% more brilliance
  • 10X more water repellent
  • Protection of the surface from stains, scratches and other damage
  • A healthier environment by eliminating the need for harsh chemicals and cleaners

5. Modern Feel

Frameless showers are easily justified as a modern look for bathrooms in any home. Clean lines, frameless designs, and open space spell out the "less is more" concept and ultimately create the most modern architectural design possible.

6. Showcase Your Tile Design

Intricate tile designs and bold colors are easily obstructed with framed showers and textured glass. If you wish to give your bathroom a consistent theme and feel throughout, showcasing your shower tile back splash is a perfect way to do so with a frameless shower enclosure.

7. Your Own Personal Spa

There is no better feeling than getting home after a long day at work or an extended trip out of town and experiencing the comfort of your own home. Your home is the place to find some rest and recovery, away from the busy life of everyday, to decompress and reset. Renovating your bathroom is not only a wise investment for financial reasons, it is also an investment into yourself and your well-being. It's easy to see how frameless showers create a "spa-like" feel for any bathroom. The creation of open space and elegant design of a frameless shower will help anyone feel like they're treated like royalty every time they enter their bathroom.

How to Care for Your Frameless Shower

By Superior Showers • December 20, 2017
Congratulations on installing frameless shower doors. Frameless glass doors give your bathroom a modern and stylish look and make it feel more spacious. Who does not like a spacious bathroom? However, installation is not the end of it. To keep your frameless shower doors looking as good as new, you need to follow a few maintenance tips. If hard water and soapy water is left to accumulate it can cause permanent damage to the glass. Here are some tips to help you along. Use a squeegee every day A squeegee is a windshield wiper look-alike tool with a handle and a long flat rubber blade. Using it on the frameless shower doors is the most effective way of maintaining shower doors. It is a simple task that only takes minutes. You just need to get everyone in the house on board and get them excited to take up the new daily cleaning routine. Ventilation After taking your shower make sure that your bathroom is well ventilated. You can do this by turning on the fan or opening the bathroom door. This allows all the moisture to leave the room quickening the drying process. By ensuring the room is completely dry you do not give mildew or mold a chance to form on your frameless glass doors. Fabric softener sheet This is one of the unorthodox ways to keep your glass doors clean but it actually works. The reason it works is because fabric softeners were designed to break up water spots and hence they work efficiently on glass doors. You just need to take a sheet and use it to wipe down the door. Cleaning frameless glass doors could not get any easier. Deep cleaning It is normal that you do not get that chance to clean your bathroom on a daily basis. You might be on a tight schedule at work and you simply short on time. If this happens you just have to spare one day to do a deep cleaning on your bathroom. If left for too long without cleaning, shower enclosures can build up grime and this will require more than a fabric softener sheet to clean up. You need to scrub the scum using common home cleaning products. Since the products contain chemicals, it is a good idea to use gloves to protect your skin. Frameless shower doors have become very popular because of their aesthetic appeal. If you have them installed make sure you keep them clean with the above tips.
