6 Benefits Of A Frameless Shower Door
In a world inundated with nonstop alerts, e-mails, and notifications vying for your attention, the shower stands as a bastion against the noise. It’s the last place on Earth where your boss cannot reach you for the last-minute report he forgot to ask you to prepare last week (sigh). Moreover, the warm water relaxing your muscles like a soothing balm, paired with the calming stream of running water, makes your shower a place to be truly alone and find peace in this modern world. Ideally, your shower should express peace and calm and where you relish unwinding from a long day at work.
Many things can go into establishing the atmosphere of your shower, including lighting, mirrors, cabinets, and other fittings. But an oft-overlooked item would be the humble shower door, your entry into a world of serenity. And our team of experienced, qualified specialists at HR Glass and Mirror in the Islamorada, Florida area, have been delighting avid shower-goers for over 30 years with the finest framed and frameless shower doors.
OK, please forgive the melodrama; we know we’re referring to a shower, not the Notre Dame. However, we weren’t kidding when we mentioned that a beautifully outfitted shower could enhance your shower experience while adding value to your property, not to mention a touch of class.
Frameless shower doors differ from regular ones in that they do not have any frame around them, hence the name frameless. This is more than an aesthetic decision, with a few other benefits of frameless shower doors.
Benefits Of Frameless Shower Doors
-
Looks better. Period
Let’s start by getting the obvious one out of the way – frameless shower doors look better. The unbroken glass panel blends in seamlessly with the shower walls and the rest of the bathroom while not being shackled by gaudy metal frames. This unbroken view adds a feeling of space to small bathrooms and can further highlight aspects of the bathroom, such as tiling or unique fittings.
-
Have it your way
Unlike most framed doors that come pre-fitted with a single-size door, the benefit of having only a sheet of glass as the door means it can be customized as you need it. Depending on the space and layout of the bathroom, you can have specific-sized and angled frameless doors made to order, to ensure everything in the bathroom fits seamlessly together. At HR Glass and Mirror, we have been designing and installing beautiful, bespoke styles of frameless shower doors for our renowned clients around the Islamorada, Florida, area for several decades.

Easier to clean
As the frameless shower door is essentially a pane of glass, it is pretty easy to spray the door down with a cleaning solution and just wipe it down using a squeegee or dry, soft cloth. As there are no fittings or seals for dirt or mildew to get caught on or grow, a simple wipe-down is all that is needed.
-
More durable
Frameless shower doors are made out of tempered glass, which is stronger and more durable than standard glass. Due to its increased sturdy nature, it is less likely to shatter or break, hence making it more suitable for families with younger children
-
Less difficulty in maintaining
Thanks to the door not having fittings and seams, it is harder for mold and mildew to take hold, and cleaning it is convenient. With the dampness in showers, mold follows, and unless you are being vigilant, it can sometimes grow out of control, requiring a deep clean.
-
Long-lasting
Metal shower frames will eventually rust, weakening the metal and detracting from its appearance. Once it corrodes, you may have to replace the entire door again, while with glass, frameless shower doors, there is nothing to rust, so it tends to last longer.
