Choosing Frameless Glass Shower Doors Vancouver BC

By Etta Bowen


Frame-less glass enclosures are he best solution for small bathrooms, because they can make any space visually larger and lighter. Transparent, elegant frameless glass shower doors Vancouver BC manufacturers offer to their customers are durable and easy to maintain. The most popular model is a wall mounted hinge single door. This type is designed for openings between 22 and 36 inches wide.

Special clips are used to join the panels together when it comes to 90 degrees enclosures. Centered and 90 degrees corner doors usually use special header system with pivot hinges. The same system can be used for custom made neo angled designs. You can choose one of the standard models, or order custom made ones, it all depends on your taste and needs. Professionals will make sure everything is correctly installed.

Wider openings require different solutions. For example, it's possible to install a glass panel set inline. Similar constructions sometimes require header hinges, but it is usually enough to use wall mounted hinges only. Although it is possible to mount hinges on a panel as well, it is not recommended, because these doors are really heavy. Header system makes a far safer option.

If your shower is placed in a corner, you can choose one of available standard corner enclosures. Three sided enclosure has two stationery panels, one on each side, and the door between them. Standard version has a perfect 135 degrees angle between the door and both panels, and custom made ones can be designed to better suit your bathroom, or your taste.

It is important that your shower door can swing freely in and out. Point the direct water spray towards the tile wall or fixed panels, not on the door. The curb has to be pitched correctly, allowing the water to flow back into the shower. Be careful when installing different hangers or similar stuff.

Sliding doors come in different designs. They can include large stationary panels on one or both sides, all the way to your ceiling. Wider openings can be equipped with two sliding doors, with or without mounted towel bars. There are several standard models, but you can also order custom made ones to suit your particular desires. High quality, durable tempered glass up to 1/2 inch thick is used for all similar models.

Frame less enclosures are made of a high quality tempered glass, really elegant, long lasting and durable. The price is a little bit higher, compared with framed models, but the maintenance is simpler and everything looks really attractive. Elegant bathroom is always a very good investment, especially if you would like to add some value to your lovely home.

For all openings up to 36 inches wide a single door could be the best solution. Larger openings can be enclosed using sliding panels, or a stationary panel on one side, also known as a side light. Corner showers can be enclosed with standard 135 degrees corners, rectangle or square cabins, or maybe neo angled custom made enclosures. In any case, your bathroom will be perfectly transformed into luxurious spa.
