Remodeling a bathroom can be an exciting time for a homeowner. Bringing a new look to your bathroom is refreshing and fun. One of the most important parts of re-doing a bathroom is the shower. You may be pleasantly surprised at the many choices you have when it comes to shower glass. The glass and door style you choose for your shower will be a prominent part of your new look. Some of your glass shower door choices will include:

Frameless Shower Doors

Frameless shower doors are sleek and stylish. They tend to give a bathroom a modern or contemporary look. These doors come in sliding, bypass and pivot styles. In addition to adding beauty to your bathroom, you will surely appreciate that fact that frameless doors are easier to clean than those with frames. The glass used for frameless doors is thick and heavy, making them more expensive than other shower door styles. The glass must be heavy in order to compensate for the lack of frame support.

Framed Shower Doors

Framed shower doors are a popular choice amongst homeowners. The frame supports the glass so a thin and light glass can be used. This makes framed doors less expensive than those that need heavier glass. The frames used for shower doors are often aluminum, strong enough to hold the glass yet not too heavy. These traditional shower doors work well with most types of decor.

Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

Semi-frameless shower doors are an excellent option if you want something close to the look and style of frameless but at a lower cost. Most semi-frameless shower doors have a frame on one side, with the shower itself being entirely framed. The glass is lighter weight than a frameless door, making the cost more economical. 

Types of Shower Door Glass

Among the kinds of glass used for shower doors are:

• Clear – Clear glass gives the room an open, spacious look.
• Tinted – Tinted glass offers a bit of privacy, and you can alter the look of the room with different tint colors.
• Frosted – Frosted glass is easy to keep clean and adds beauty to the bathroom.

As you can see, you will have many available glass shower door options when remodeling your bathroom. If you don't want to do a complete bathroom remodel, you may want to consider only changing the look of your shower. The difference a new shower door can make to a room is amazing.
