You might plan to replace an existing shower curtain or a framed shower enclosure and be looking for something new. Why not upgrade your bathroom with a frameless design? Here are several benefits you'll enjoy.

Versatile

Frameless showers are mainly made up of smooth glass screens. The only supporting hardware is discrete hinges and brackets. An advantage of this minimalism is that it couples with diverse bathroom styles. Your current decor may be traditional. However, if you transform the look to an industrial or a modern style in the future, you won't need to update the shower because it's so unobtrusive that it will blend in.

On the other hand, curtains or the obvious metal borders on framed showers can date quickly and give a specific look to the enclosure. So, if you renew the bathroom in the future to something different, you might need to replace the shower prematurely.

Easy to Clean

Frameless screens are more hygienic and easier to clean than shower curtains that collect mould and mildew. The frameless designs are also more manageable than framed models. This is because metal edging creates crevices and crannies that accumulate soap scum and dirt. Thus, when you clean a framed shower, you'll have to concentrate on the hardware that runs right around the edge of each glass panel. On the other hand, a frameless design mainly consists of continuous glass, which you can easily wipe over. You'll only need to concentrate on small areas around the hinges and supporting brackets, thus reducing your cleaning workload.

Bathroom Feels Bigger

As mentioned, frameless showers are inconspicuous, which is why they can fit in with many different bathroom styles. This same invisibility also helps to make a bathroom feel larger. The open room area continues into the shower area without being blocked by obvious or chunky screens. Thus, if you have a small bathroom, installing a frameless shower will help to give the sense of it being bigger and more open. Frameless screens also don't block the light like shower curtains do. Instead, they reflect light for a brighter bathroom, which also helps make it seem roomier.

Safe

Frameless shower screens help to keep your bathroom safe as they fit tightly together to stop water from spilling onto the floor and creating a slipping hazard. Additionally, the screens use toughened safety glass, which is much stronger than standard window panes. Toughened safety glass is also designed to crumble safely into rounded cubes and not pointy shards in the event that it breaks.
