How Custom Made Shower Doors Can Enhance Your Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom is a bathroom, nothing more, right? Do you think bathroom renovations are limited and somehow always just end up feeling like just that—a lackluster bathroom?

If you answered yes, you’re about to be blown away!

If there weren’t so many possibilities, bathroom remodels wouldn’t have ranked as the most popular home renovation project for multiple years over.

It may seem like new homes are being built left and right, but 40 percent of homes in America are estimated to be over 50 years old! That’s a lot of outdated bathrooms.

Okay, so now that you’re sold on how great bathroom remodels can be. Let’s take it a step further. 

What if I told you something as simple custom made shower doors can make your spa dreams a reality? Now that you’re interested, keep reading to learn how this simple swap can turn your bathroom from blah to spa!

Clean Modern Design

Shower curtains have their place and replace artwork in many smaller spaces, but can sometimes feel heavy and even intrusive. A bathroom can feel cluttered and even messy when using a shower curtain.

This feeling can trigger anxiety in some people, making it impossible to relax. Our psyche is affected by our environment, so if you’re feeling a need for a change or like you even hate your bathroom, this could be your explanation.

None of those things exactly scream relaxation and at-home spa. Life is hectic and busy, so you deserve a space to relax in an environment you love.

What is the solution? You guessed it. Shower doors are a cleaner, more modern design option that will create a feeling of openness and simplicity. The clean lines and glass doors make the space feel unencumbered and serene.

 
 

Functional, Low Maintenance Space

Believe it or not, making the swap to shower doors from a traditional curtain has potential health and functionality benefits as well. 

Studies show that shower curtains hold the most germs in your bathroom, more than your toilet. Yikes. So all those times you felt like you needed to constantly clean your curtain, you were right. You should probably even wash it more than you do.

On the contrary, shower doors can be easily cleaned and maintained after every use. By nature of them being made of glass, it’s easy to see why this would be the case.

So not only are shower doors a cleaner look and a total upgrade, they are cleaner for life. They say work smarter, not harder after all. 

Seemingly Endless Options

So what does it mean to have custom shower doors? It is way more detailed and incredible than you could ever imagine! Let’s dive into all the possibilities and options.

 
 
Standard Framed Shower Doors

Don’t let the versatility of standard framed shower doors lead you to believe they are less modern and customizable. Not only are they the perfect addition to any style bathroom from an old farmhouse to a modern dream, but they are also made to last.

This is also an excellent choice for anyone on a tight budget. 

 
 
Frameless Shower Doors

Frameless shower doors are on the other side of the spectrum from your standard framed door, in every way imaginable. They are simplistic and clean with a very modern feel.

These doors are constructed using clear tempered glass and are not supported by a metal structure. As far as the cost, however, keep in mind they are the most expensive option.

 
 
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

If you just cannot envision your bathroom without the frameless doors of your dreams but need something more budget-friendly, semi-frameless is your friend. To put it simply, you get the same look for less money. Again, without the sacrifice.

 
 
Partial Tub Shower Door Enclosures

The easiest way to think about a partial tub shower door enclosure is that the doors are positioned near the showerhead, glass covers the length of your tub, but the end opposite the showerhead is open air. 

With this option, you get the clean lines you are looking for, but the ease of use. You can enter the shower either from the door or by stepping into the tub at the unobstructed end. 

 
 
Custom Walk-In/Step-In Showers

One of the most sought after spa-like features is the walk-in showers. The shower is built into your existing space, with no tub. You can choose to have a separate area for a tub as well. 

This is truly your top-of-the-line, shower like a celebrity option when renovating your bathroom. 

 
 
The Icing on Top: Glass & Finish

Now onto the part that matters most! When choosing the glass for your custom bathroom, keep in mind that different types of glass will create a unique look, and provide different levels of privacy.

Clear glass is clean and shows off the interior of your shower, which is great if you want everyone to admire your beautiful subway tile or stunning glass block window.

On the contrary, you may not want guests to see your things, or you for that matter, in the shower. For more privacy and discretion, opt for frosted glass.

If you’re really on the fence and you can’t make up your mind or want to add some visual appeal, go for something with a texture or a pattern.

As far as the finish, you may choose to mix finishes or match your existing fixtures.

Custom Made Shower Doors Just For You

Arguably the best part of custom made shower doors is just that, they’re custom to your taste and will fit your space like a glove. After all, they were literally made just for you with your specifications and installed by the pros.
