There are many design choices when it comes to remodeling the bathroom such as tile, sinks, tubs and fixtures.  But one such very important consideration is the shower. There are many different types of showers to choose from and what we are going to look at here is one of the hottest trends in bathroom design. It is the Frameless Shower!

As the name implies this shower has no frame, you know the silver around the doors. However, the frameless with its seductive design and contemporary look gives a bathroom the appearance of a larger space.

• Cost – The frameless shower cost about 30%-40% more than the regular framed showers. Retail cost run from around $500 to well into the thousands. However, the return on investment is worth the cost. The sleek design is alluring to buyers if you are considering selling your home in the future.
• Installation – It is recommended that you have this frameless installed by professionals. The glass is heavy, thicker and must be secure.
• Cleaning – Because there is no frame it is easier to clean.
• Door openings – Frameless doors have either a left or right opening. They can be either a sliding door or swinging door also known as a pivot door. The pivot door is the hot trend. But make sure you decide and check the specifications first before you buy.
• Customization – Although frameless showers can be purchased off the shelf with set dimensions they also can be customized to fit your space. This can be a plus when you are remodeling a bathroom where space is either limited or rearranging the original layout.

As you can see the Frameless Shower has much to offer by way of value and is very enchanting. And since we spend a lot of time in either the kitchen or bathroom, the shower should be a place to relax and unwind a bit. For your next bathroom remodel definitely look into incorporating the Frameless Shower into your design.
