Glass shower screens are not only elegant and sophisticated but also easy to install, clean and maintain. When you are transitioning from framed to frameless shower screens, you might encounter some differences. Below are a few physical aspects to check for and consider when buying frameless shower screens.

Thickness

Frameless shower screens are a two in one thing. They are both the frame and the body of the screens. You should therefore consider the thickness of the frameless shower screens before purchase. You may think that the thickness distorts the beauty of the screens but truth is the thicker the frameless shower screens, the stronger they are. Consider the benefits that come with thick frameless shower screens. To begin with, they are harder to break so you do not have to worry about constant repairs. They also offer more privacy because of reduced light penetration.

Height

The height of the frameless shower screens matter a lot with regards to your height as the user. Framed shower screens usually have a standard ceiling to floor height but frameless shower screens often do not have a top and you are the one to decide the height of the screens. There are two things to consider when choosing the height of your frameless shower screens. The first one is the height of your bathroom and the second is your height. You do not want to buy frameless shower screens only to discover they are taller than the bathroom ceiling. Your height also plays a major role because you may want the shower screens to tower over you but not too high so that you can easily clean them. You may also want them to be half your height, which is also fine. You just have to have the right measurements before purchasing.

Flexibility

Look for frameless shower screens that are flexible. This means that they can be bended to go round corners when you want rounded instead of sharp corners. Additionally, you can also look for frameless shower screens that can be customized in other dimensions including colour and art wise. You may not want to customize them immediately you buy them but the desire may arise in the future. You will save a lot of money if the frameless shower screens you already have can be customized when the time comes other than having to purchase and install new frameless shower screens.
