More homeowners are looking to transform their bathrooms into luxurious, relaxing retreats that feature the looks and amenities of an upscale spa. One way to upgrade the appearance of a bath -- and to lessen the burden of maintaining it -- is to install a frameless shower enclosure with CLARVISTA(R) glass by PPG, a shower glass that features fused-on coating to keep its showroom looks longer than more traditional clear shower glass.
There are numerous advantages associated with frameless shower enclosures, ranging from practical to fashionable, and if they're done right, they can add to the overall value to your home, too. Here are a few reasons to consider a frameless shower for your new or remodeled bath.
* They're fashionable. Frameless shower enclosures open up a world of possibilities because they provide a perfect complement to durable, high-style surfaces commonly used in the bath, such as tile, marble and granite. They also provide a great way to show off the trendy shower heads, faucets and fixtures that have become so popular in contemporary bath design. Finally, because of their openness and transparency, frameless shower enclosures can make your bath feel bigger than it really is.
* They're versatile. Frameless doors can be designed to fit any space, making them ideal for bathrooms, large and small. And they don't have to be boxy, either. Frameless shower enclosures can be circular, oval or triangular in shape. Even standard square or rectangular enclosures can be dressed up with an artfully bowed, patterned or etched glass door.
* They're durable. Frameless shower enclosures look elegant, but one of their most redeeming qualities is toughness. Standard shower glasses can range in thicknesses from 3/8 to 1/2-inch, which makes them sturdy, structurally sound and safe. Watertight seals prevent leakage and, since there is little to no metal used in the construction of frameless enclosures, homeowners never have to worry about replacing corroded parts.
* They're easy to live with. Let's face it. We all want to live in our homes for as long as we can. Frameless shower enclosures are a great way to let your home age with you because the entry can be leveled with the floor to create easy access as we become older and less mobile. And here's the best part: you don't have to sacrifice looks or fashionability. Frameless glass shower enclosures are a great way to meld timeless style with ageless accommodation.
* They're easy to clean. With frameless shower enclosures, there are fewer nooks and crannies for dirt and grime to enter and accumulate. That makes them easier to clean. For an added level of clarity and sparkle, homeowners should request Clarvista glass by PPG. The coating for Clarvista glass is actually fused to the glass substrate, which makes the surface virtually impervious to corrosion from water deposits, humidity, soap scum and household cleaners. Simply wipe the wet glass down every few days with a dry towel or squeegee, and your shower enclosure can look as new as the first day you had it installed.
