  Showers are an important part of most bathrooms in your home. More and more homeowners are turning to the old option of providing them with a designated enclosed space that is as stylish as the rest of the room, rather than a showerhead over the tub. What usually remains is a simple choice between frameless and framed shower screens. Each option has its pros and cons, so homeowners must make a decision based on their preferences.

   

  Frameless Shower Screens

  This shower screen design features a sturdy glass panel with a polished safety edge that aligns with the wall. It is held in place using special hinges and can be complemented by a variety of shower door handle designs.

   

  

  Double Roller Single Sliding Shower Enclosure

   

  Advantages

  ● It gives a sleek and sophisticated look to a bathroom that many people love.

  ● Bathroom finishes that include such updates can help increase property values and improve the speed and value of offers at the time of sale.

  ● It is easy to maintain and keep clean because there are no frame edges and corners to have to get into where dirt can accumulate.

  ● Without aluminum frames, there is less potential for parts to corrode.

  ● Glass can be easily customized into a variety of designs. It can be etched, frosted and colored.

  ● Frameless shower screens require thicker tempered glass, which can make them a more durable option. However, the thickness can also vary between 6 mm and 12 mm.

   

  Disadvantages

  ● The thicker glass used for frameless shower screens and the special fixtures that hold them in place tend to make them a more expensive option. They are typically four times more expensive than framed options.

  ● The installation process tends to be a bit more complicated than for half-frame and full-frame shower screens due to the greater weight of the glass panels involved. This means that more time and cost must be spent.

  ● Without a frame, Perth homeowners appreciate that these glass shower screens are more likely to leak. Especially in areas where the shower has corners, water may often overflow and wet the floor outside the shower, creating a hazard.

   

  Shower screens with frames

  As the name implies, these shower screens have a glass panel edge covered by an aluminum frame. The frame is magnetically sealed and runs around the pane, including the pane of the door.

  Advantages

  ● This is a very affordable option. It is ideal for the budget conscious, but still offers a clear quality shower in a fraction of the frameless option. Finances may be limited for practical options.

  ● It is an easy option to clean and maintain, even with frames. While frameless is slightly easier, wiping down the aluminum surface can still be done easily.

  ● Frames are available in a variety of colors. Just like frameless screens, you can also tint or frost this glass. This provides greater versatility in design and compliments the other features of the bathroom.

  ● You can still complete the modern design that homebuyers love so much.

  ● Made of durable safety glass, this framing option is also very sturdy and gives the impression of greater safety.

  ● When properly installed and fitted, it provides a better sealed enclosure and reduces the risk of water escaping.
