Ways Installing a New Glass Shower Can Improve Your Bathroom


If you're looking for a way to improve your bathroom, why not install a new glass shower? These structures can improve a bathroom in numerous ways, as explained below.

Make the Area Appear Bigger

A glass shower will make your bathroom appear bigger, especially if you install transparent glass screens. They'll let you see into the shower enclosure, so the room will be visually integrated as one space. It will seem larger as a result. Shower curtains have the opposite effect as they block the shower, making the overall room area feel smaller. Consider installing a frameless shower with less metal to interrupt the view.

Decorate the Room

While glass showers can be almost invisible to evoke spaciousness, they can have other effects depending on how you customise them. For example, you might want to embellish your bathroom with a beautiful piece of decorative glass so it stands out. You can opt for frosted glass screens in diverse designs, from delicate etchings to modern stripes.

Other decorative options include textured glass with moulded shapes on one side. Or else, use toned glass in blue, green, bronze or grey. Decorative glass screens also make the shower more secluded while adding beauty.

Improve the Bathroom's Functionality

You can also improve the bathroom's functionality with the right custom shower. For example, you could make the shower bigger if you have ample floor area so that you're not unnecessarily squashed while having a shower. Or you could make the enclosure narrower in a cramped bathroom.

The shower door style is also crucial to how the bathroom functions. Maybe you don't want to change the shower shape and size, but an outward-swinging door is getting in the way. In that case, you could install a sliding door instead. Sliding doors can move along a channel at the bottom or a rail along the top of the shower. However, swinging doors often provide a wider opening to enter the shower.

Make the Room Brighter

Glass shower screens can also help to make your bathroom brighter. Polished glass is highly reflective and will bounce natural and artificial light around the room. Thus, you may get away with not turning on the light switch so often during the day. And you may be able to use a lower-wattage globe at night, reducing your energy bills. Plus, the shower enclosure will be brighter without a light-blocking curtain, enabling you to see what you're doing.

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.
