Instead of relying on flimsy fabrics, many homeowners are opting for custom shower enclosures. They keep the heat in and moisture out for a better experience that preserves your bathroom. Below is a brief guide to choosing a product that will best complement your space and needs. 

What Should You Consider Before Choosing? 

Before you shop for a custom shower enclosure, think about who uses the space and how they need it to operate. For instance, if you have elderly family members, consider adding built-in pull bars and other protective safety features. If you and your partner share the bathroom in the morning, add frosted glass for privacy. 

Measure the space to see what the contractors have to work with. If you have sufficient room, consider adding a large, frameless glass enclosure to create a more spacious area, rather than a single stall. On the other hand, if you enjoy baths, work around the top portion of the tub, choosing from clear or opaque varieties. 

Which Versions Are Available? 

Custom shower enclosures are available in both framed and frameless versions and can be designed to fit most spaces. If you want a sleek, modern look, the frameless option covers the exterior without impeding the view of the tile work. For those on a tight budget, framed alternatives are less expensive and available in a range of shapes, sizes, and colors. 

Ask your contractor about ShowerGuard®, which is a special treatment applied to the surface of the glass to prevent corrosion. In addition to sealing the facade and preventing scratches, this special, sputter-coated solution protects your shower from erosion due to repeated cleaning and hard water.
