MORE ABOUT FRAMELESS SHOWER DOORS
A frameless glass shower door completes a luxurious bathroom like a Viking range perfects a kitchen. Consider how much of your life you spend in the bathroom; between brushing, showering, bathing, shaving, and applying makeup, you deserve a room you can truly relax in. It’s no wonder that the ancient Romans considered the bathroom one of the most important rooms in the house!
Frameless shower enclosures from A Cutting Edge Glass and Mirror can create a centerpiece that transforms your bathroom into a spacious place of respite.
In the past, shower doors required metal frames around the edges to hold the glass in place. With such framed shower doors, metal surrounded the entire glass door, leaving no exposed edges. Because these doors were constructed of thin, relatively inexpensive glass ranging from 1/8″ to 3/16″ thickness, they needed a metal frame to maintain their structural integrity. Durability was limited, however, and water and soap scum could easily gather in the metal crevices, leading to mildew and corrosion.
Frameless shower doors do exactly what the name implies: they eliminate the need for metal framing entirely. These doors are made from tempered glass ranging from 3/8″ to 1/2″ thick, making the door sturdy and structurally sound. Maximizing the use of glass and minimizing the use of metal adds light to the bathroom, creating a more open and inviting look. But beyond opening up a tight space, these enclosures add elegance and style to a room that is all-too-often overlooked.
