To make the adoption of water procedures more comfortable, the bath or shower must be supplemented with a curtain or a glass screen door. The choice depends on the design of your bathroom, as well as personal preferences and capabilities. Before deciding on a particular option, carefully weigh all their advantages and disadvantages.
Glass Doors: Pros and Cons
Most often equipped with a glass screen showers. Glass can be transparent or frosted, decorated with a pattern, corrugated or tinted. These cabins look especially stylish in high-tech bathrooms. If you have a bathtub instead of a shower, it can also be supplemented with a sliding glass door.
A glass screen made to order will cost a lot. But among ready-made kits, you can find quite affordable options.
The glass screen has a lot of advantages. It reliably protects against splashing water and foam. With a closed door made of frosted or tinted glass, a bath or shower becomes an additional storage place for basins, baby baths and other necessary accessories. Numerous washcloths, bottles with shampoo, children's toys are also hidden from prying eyes, and the bathroom looks more neat.
Among the minuses, the housewives note the need for constant thorough care of the glass screen. Hard chlorinated water and soap leave a coating that is difficult to deal with. To make the doors look beautiful, after each washing they will have to be rinsed and then wiped dry with a towel or rags. Another option is to clean the doors with a special rubber roller scraper. From time to time, glass requires more thorough cleaning using brushes and water stone removers.
Another minus - sliding doors visually reduce the size of the bathroom. In addition, they are not suitable for every bathroom. If your room is decorated in a vintage, classic or romantic style, the modern sliding screen will look alien.
