Designing Your Dream Shower with Framestead: Exploring Glass Types and Luxurious Add-Ons.

Revamping your shower can significantly enhance the look and feel of your entire bathroom. Hiring our team at Framestead empowers you to tailor the appearance of your shower precisely to your liking. Our design and construction approach suits your unique style, ensuring a completely custom shower. In this blog, we will delve into different shower glass choices and extra features that can assist you in creating a personalized shower retreat.

Whether you prefer the sleek, modern look of frameless glass or the classic charm of framed options, there is a perfect solution to suit your taste. Whether you want a door or a doorless option, we can create a custom shower for you and your preferences.

Let’s delve into various shower door layout options for your shower. Deciding between a door or a fixed panel can greatly influence the appearance and functionality of your shower. Explore panel-only doors, fixed panels, and single-sliding doors, each offering a distinct aesthetic appeal.

Panel- Only Door

This is the most commonly seen option for a glass shower. It allows you to get the sleek and modern look but still has a door that lets you completely close off your shower from the rest of the bathroom. A panel-only door has hinges that allow it to be opened and closed like any standard door. Not only does this option give you a sleek look, but it also gives you the ability to create a completely closed-off and its own shower space within the bathroom.

Fixed Panel

This refers to a panel that is securely attached to the wall and remains stationary without the ability to open or close. It acts as a barrier, solely intended to contain water within your shower area. This option does not close off your shower from the rest of the space and allows the shower space to blend with the rest of the bathroom. This modern and streamlined design provides a unique appearance and ambiance to your shower, setting it apart from conventional shower doors or curtains.

Single-Sliding

A single sliding door operates by sliding open instead of swinging on hinges. This design provides a streamlined appearance with minimal hardware and enables you to enclose your shower area within the bathroom fully. Opting for this type of door is ideal if you desire the look of an open space without compromising on having a door.

In our bathroom projects, we often encounter two common glass options. Glass has the power to define the shower and bathroom style you desire. Your choice of glass type and appearance can either harmonize your shower with the overall bathroom design or make a striking and distinctive statement. Both options offer excellent possibilities; it all boils down to the specific look and style you aim to achieve.

Frameless Glass

This design is timeless and has maintained its popularity over the years. It provides a shower area with a smooth and modern appearance. By eliminating any framing around the glass, the shower seamlessly integrates with the overall room decor. Opting for this style is ideal if you prefer a minimalistic and polished look without making the shower the focal point of your bathroom.

Grided Glass

Recently, this has become a highly favored choice for showers. It provides a bold and contemporary appearance. Utilizing gridded shower glass panels gives the shower its distinct and modern aesthetic. The grid design can be custom to you, bold, or as simple as you would like.

In addition to determining the fundamental appearance and functionality of your shower, there are additional elements that can be incorporated to personalize your shower and tailor it to your home. Consider the following list of enhancements:

Obscure Band

An obscure band is perfect for those who want a glass shower with a panel or a door but still want privacy while in the shower. This band is frosted and can blur a certain area of the shower, giving you privacy, while also the look of a glass shower panel.

Luxury Water Spot Treatment

A spot treatment on your shower glass will prevent it from getting spotty and dirty-looking. This treatment will keep your shower glass clean and spotless.

Hardware Details

For a personalized touch in your shower area and to create a distinctive ambiance, consider selecting hardware that complements your bathroom’s overall style. Whether it’s brass, black, gold, or silver, aim for a cohesive look that integrates well with the other hardware in your bathroom. While silver is traditional and frequently used in showers, bolder choices like brass and black can bring a stunning and eye-catching aesthetic to your bathroom.

Each Framestead shower is unique, tailored to your specific requirements. We ensure that every detail is customized to fit your shower perfectly, including its exact measurements. Our custom glass packages are designed after the wall and tile installation, providing a precise and seamless finish.
