Benefits of Frameless Shower Doors for Bathroom Remodeling

Bathroom renovation remains the most sought-after remodeling project in the country, and the clean look of minimalist bathrooms is a bandwagon more and more homeowners are ready to jump on. One feature that seems to be present in many bathroom remodels is the frameless shower door. Today, our experienced team of designers at DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of Wilmington discuss the pros and cons of this stylish shower door option.

The Basics of Frameless Shower Doors

Shower doors are often framed with stainless steel. These frames hold the glass in place, providing sturdier and more secure operation. A frameless shower door, on the other hand, utilizes a stronger and thicker tempered glass panel. This allows it to be secured to a shower stall without the need for a frame.

Benefits of Frameless Shower Doors

The biggest draw over traditional shower doors is its sleek and modern aesthetic. The lack of a frame creates unobstructed transparency, which goes well in a minimalist bathroom. Aside from this, there are other benefits to using frameless shower doors.

Corrosion is a common problem for many metal frames, especially in the high-humidity environment of a bathroom. Frameless shower doors are more immune to corrosion due to the lack of exposed metal components.
Frameless shower doors are built to fit tightly in the shower opening to avoid leaks. Because shower designs can vary from one house to another, frameless shower doors are 100% customizable.
Dirt and grime often gather in the grooves and connections of traditional door hardware. Because of this, frameless shower doors are much easier to clean and maintain.

Disadvantages of Frameless Shower Doors

Your bathroom remodeler might not recommend this style of door if you are on a budget. Frameless shower doors cost more than traditional doors due to their custom nature and the thickness of the glass.
