Why Glass Shower Screens Are the Perfect Modern Alternative to Shower Curtains


Looking to renovate your bathroom? Bathroom remodeling presents you with the perfect opportunity to update the look of your bathroom while adding to its functionality. If you still use shower curtains to keep the splashing water within your bath area, you should consider ditching them for glass shower screens.

Read along to discover some of the fantastic reasons to upgrade to glass shower screens.

Give Your Bathroom an Elegant and Luxurious Look

There is something unique about the character, beauty and charm of glass shower screens that can't go unnoticed. These shower screens have a sleek, chic and appealing look that can turn any plain-looking bathroom into a major selling point of a home.

Glass shower screens typically come in two major varieties—framed and frameless—and can be clear, opaque or frosted, with unique features to suit your particular needs. If you prefer a clean, modern look, the clear, frameless variety is a popular choice. The glass demarcates your bath area from the rest of the bathroom while maximising the feeling of space. It is the perfect choice for homeowners with small bathroom spaces. 

Make Your Bathroom Look More Roomy

Are you claustrophobic? If you are terrified of spending time in your bath because traditional shower curtains make you feel like you are excessively confined, then glass shower screens can be the perfect remedy for the problem. Thanks to their see-through design, transparent glass shower screens can keep the water in your bath while eliminating the sense of claustrophobia that you would feel when using shower curtains. Plus, clear shower screens can make your bathroom look more spacious than it really is since clear glass gives the illusion of a larger space.

Reduce Mould and Mildew Issues

Are you tired of constantly having to remove mould and mildew from your shower curtain? Mould and mildew not only give shower curtains a repelling smell but are also potential health hazards.

Glass shower screens are much more resistant to mould and mildew than shower curtains. Glass can be easily cleaned with regular glass cleaning products. Plus, many modern glass shower screen manufacturers offer additional protective coatings that discourage the growth of bacteria growth, thus reducing the need to clean.

Some homeowners shy away from installing glass shower screens when they are renovating their bathrooms because of the high price tag. But for those who can afford a high-end bathroom remodel, these shower screens are definitely a worthwhile investment, given the benefits that they bring.

About Me

Coloured glass for beautiful light

People are always amazed by the beautiful light I get in my art studio. I always like to see their expression the first time they get bathed in that golden light. Of course my hidden secret is that I have had some panels of yellow glass inserted to give the light an extra warmth. The effect that coloured glass can make ranges from dramatic and artistic splashes of colour, to delicate and subtle shifts in colour and mood. If you are inspired by coloured glass then keep reading this site, as I show examples from awe inspiring and beautiful glass windows.
