Hardware For Your Frameless Shower Door

By Jack M. Matus


Showering takes much less water than filling a bath and is the natural choice in today's budget conscious society. When deciding to build a shower why not choose a frameless glass shower enclosure. This will offer you a contemporary and classy look and add value to your home or business. Whether you are upgrading, renovating or merely changing the existing shower enclosure remember that the your Frameless Shower Door requires careful selection. An excellent supplier of these is A & A Glass Company as they have many years of knowledge and will be able to assist you in every aspect.

With so many different types and styles of frameless shower doors available to you, it is really important to carefully consider all your options. Firstly what color glass do you require. Tinted glass may suit your decor rather than clear glass. Depending on whether you prefer your frameless glass to extend right up to your ceiling or whether it should be shorter, your shower door should be the same. A full bath screen may also require a door.

Many people make the mistake of considering the shower only when building a bathroom. The floor plan for your bathroom should be carefully laid out to ensure that there is enough space for all your needs. There is no point in having a glass enclosure that takes up most of the room and then discovering that your basin is in the way. The frameless shower door must allow effortless access. Decide which side the door will hinge on and also which side the door will open on.

A & A Glass Company will ensure that the specifications of your door meet industry standards, especially with regard to glass thickness and safety shatterproof glass. It is also important that there are no leaks and a shower door threshold or seal should be fitted underneath the door in order that excess water will flow back into the shower enclosure. Using a good silicone sealer that is impervious to mildew is also a good idea.

When selecting the fittings such as which handles to use on your shower door, pull handles are an obvious choice. These come in different shapes which include round, square or tubular. There are also different colors and finishes to choose from and one can even have a brushed antique over chrome, brass, copper or nickel. Acrylic handles are also an option.

Hinges can be pivot mount, glass to glass mount, self closing or panel mount. There are also support bars to consider. These bars stabilize the fixed panels and no holes are needed as the brackets can be mounted. Besides the finish, they also come in various colors. Other hardware necessities include hinges, clamps and brackets which are all especially designed for the frameless shower door.

Installation manuals are available in book or video format. These are perfect for the do it yourself fans who love to take on a project.

Now that your shower and frameless glass door are installed, consider your options on accessories. Accessories can further enhance the beauty of your bathroom. Shelving, hooks, towel bars, mounted dispensers for soap and shampoos are just some of the choices. A shower squeegee is a good idea if you want to maintain your glass and ensure that it is always clean and streak free. A squeegee specifically designed for the bathroom can hang in your shower on a suction hook and look attractive.
