Elegant Frameless Glass Shower Doors Vancouver BC

By Etta Bowen


Frame-less glass enclosures are a perfect solution for small or poorly lighted bathrooms. Elegant and translucent, they can transform your bathroom to one really luxurious place. There are several different types of frameless glass shower doors Vancouver BC companies offer, and you will certainly find something interesting there. If your shower opening is up to 36 inches wide, it is easy to install a wall mounted hinge single door there. This type swings easily in and out, returning back on its original position.

If you need to install a 90 degree enclosure, the glass panels are joint together with special clips, and the door should be mounted on the wall. If your bath requires centered or 90 degrees corner doors, it is best to install a header system with pivot hinges. When you are interested in more imaginative designs, you can choose custom angled enclosures.

When the opening is too wide for a single door, it is possible to place a stationary panel next to it. In this case, the door and panel are set inline, touching each other at 180 degrees. Tempered glass is quite heavy, and it is recommended to use wall mounted hinges. If it isn't possible to mount the hinges to the wall, it is better to use a header system. It is always a much safer option.

Corner showers usually have three sides, with the door in the center. A header system with pivot hinges is the safest option for similar shower enclosures. Although most professionals request a perfect 135 degree angle, custom made enclosures might be much better solution for your particular needs. This allows more imaginative designs.

It is important that your shower door can swing freely in and out. Point the direct water spray towards the tile wall or fixed panels, not on the door. The curb has to be pitched correctly, allowing the water to flow back into the shower. Be careful when installing different hangers or similar stuff.

Sliding doors allow higher, a floor to near ceiling stationary panel with one sliding door. You can also have two sliding panels without stationary panels, depending on your wishes. Standard type usually has a towel bar mounted on each door. Custom versions may be adapted to suite your particular needs. Most models are made of thick tempered glass, ranging from 3/8 to 1/2 inch thicknesses.

Without frames, these attractive panels are so much easier to maintain. Besides, they look much better and visually enlarge your bathroom. Transparent, elegant and luxurious, they add some value to your property as well. High quality panels are really durable and perfectly safe to use, if installed correctly.

Different designs are available. For example, you can choose a single door if your shower opening is up to 36 inches wide. If the opening is wider, one lovely stationary panel can be used to cover the additional space. Corner showers can be enclosed using neo angle designs, standard corner enclosures or 90 degree enclosures. Custom made ones are especially attractive, but it all depends on your wishes and needs.
