Shower Door Glass Types Explained

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Rezul -- Are you remodeling your bathroom?

Considering a new shower?

What do you know about shower glass?

One of the primary choices in configuring your new shower door is selecting the type of glass used.

There are three main characteristics for shower glass to consider when selecting your glass. These are the color or pattern used, the thickness of the glass, and any special treatments that may be applied to help keep your shower looking great over the years.

Clear vs. Obscure
When it comes to the color or pattern of glass used, you should ask yourself how much you want to be able to see in and out of your shower. There are different types of obscured and patterned glass that provide privacy. The downside to this privacy is that it also obscures the beautiful new tile that you might have recently installed as a part of your bathroom remodel. Most homeowners choose clear glass for frameless showers and use other methods like the bathroom door to maintain privacy, but ultimately the look of your bathroom is a personal choice.

Thickness of Shower Doors
Shower doors can come in a variety of thicknesses. Thinner glass is typically used in framed shower doors, while thicker glass is used in semi-frameless and frameless showers. In some cases, you may have the choice between two thicknesses of glass. Thinner glass will flex more and make more noise when used in the door. Thicker glass is more rigid.

Special Treatments
Bath products and the minerals naturally found in water can leave spots and corrode the surface of your shower glass. This can leave the glass discolored and less than crystal clear. There are a variety of treatments available for glass that address this issue. ShowerGuard® is an advanced coating that's fused into the glass when it is being made. This coating is invisible and covers the microscopic peaks and valleys that occur naturally in the glass surface. This makes glass much smoother and provides less opportunity and space for soap residue and minerals to collect.
