Frameless Shower Glass Enclosures

Frameless shower glass enclosures are the icing on the cake if you will, of any remodeled bathroom. The shower enclosures that are manufactured nowadays are so much more elegant and made with much better materials than use to be. Shower doors used to be installed with wire glass and the wires inside the glass would rust making it not real safe. The modern shower enclosure is installed with tempered glass. Tempered glass was first patented by Rudolph A. Seiden in the 1900’s in Austria. All glass shower enclosures must be manufactured with tempered glass. There are many building codes that the city and state has on shower stalls and shower enclosures. That is why the companies that installs  frameless shower enclosures  must be licensed and insured. When looking for shower door companies to hire for a shower enclosure consider using these guidelines.

• Licensing, Bonding and are they Insured
• References that is old and new. (try to get them to let you see their work)
• Brand of hardware (Us. Horizon is the best!)
• Don’t always use your contractor’s reference (Reason being they sometimes get a cut and it is good to check out the company anyways.)
• Ask them how much plastic they plain on putting on the shower enclosure
• Ask them is this frameless or semi frameless (clips or “U” channels)
• Ask them are they cutting the door to the wall or using a standard door in stock.

I’m sure there are more but these to me are the most important. Frameless shower enclosures are only as beautiful as the measurements the technician took and the attention to detail he/she gave. When the technician is at your home they should look at the surrounding and give suggestions. They also should listen and write down information that the home owner or contractor is giving them. Remember that frameless shower doors are for life only if good hardware is used. Thank you.
