4 things to know about showers and enclosures 

#1 Glass Last - Even though it is tempting to rush the shower installation process to hurry towards the beautiful, finished product, you have to be patient and wait until everything else in place (that's right you must wait until after the tile guy gets his job done). The difficulty is that every little thing that is installed before the shower changes the measurements just a little bit. So, you have to wait to even measure until after everything else is in place. While this is true, it is also a good idea to start deciding what kind of glass and the budget for glass well 

before the measuring time approaches. 

#2 Glass, and Frames, and Handles, and Designs - Oh My! - Every shower is unique because of all the different options and all the different combinations of those options. There is clear glass, design glass, etched glass, and all kinds of different patterned glass. There are frameless shower enclosures, neo-angle enclosures, and corner enclosures. There are single-door showers, sliding doors, and swinging doors. It's amazing all the choices.

#3 Space - Sometimes the shower enclosure design has to be dictated by the layout of your bathroom. The other day a couple came into the showroom and argued about this exact point. The gist of this half-an-hour argument was that she wanted the swinging door and he wanted the sliding. Once we got down to the bottom of it, we realized that a swinging door would hit the toilet if it opened to the right and the sink to the left. Taking the layout into consideration is key, even if it means changing your ideal shower. 

#4 Splash Control - No shower is water-tight. Whether you choose sliding or swinging doors, some water will be 

able to escape the confines of the enclosure. However, some enclosures control the splash zone better than others. So, while deciding which design to choose, keep in mind how important splash control is to you and your bathroom floor. 

Facts About Glass Replacement 

If you are looking for a glass replacement, then you should know these facts: Chipped or cracked glass can be easily broken, so the quicker your glass is replaced, the better. You do not want to wait until you have a huge mess on your hands, or someone becomes injured because you did not get it fixed right away. 

Professional installation is required to guarantee safety and security. Do-it-yourself installations may seem like a good idea at first, but they can lead to serious injuries or damage to your home or building. The cost of replacing glass varies depending on the type of material and the size and shape of the piece. For example, the expense might be higher if the window was larger or thicker than usual. If you are replacing tempered glass, you'll need to consider your budget. Tempered glass is very durable and strong, but it does come with a heftier price tag. 

However, other types of glass are available, such as laminated and decorative glass. The type of glass you choose will depend on your needs and budget. Laminated glass provides more protection than tempered glass, but it has a higher price tag. Decorative glass can be used in areas that we don't often see, such as in the bathroom or shower, to add aesthetic value to the space without breaking the bank.
