Glass shower enclosures are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate any bathroom space. While traditional showers can feel hemmed in and claustrophobic, a glass enclosure transforms the look and feel of the room and the overall shower experience. The following brief guide highlights a few of the benefits you'll enjoy when choosing this smart feature for your bathroom. 

Why Should You Consider a Glass Shower Enclosure?

1. Maintain & Clean Your Shower With Ease

Traditional shower curtains can be a hassle to clean, often requiring dismantling, hosing and scrubbing, and reassembling. With a glass enclosure, a little maintenance after each shower eliminates the need for routine, labor-intensive cleaning. Simply keep a small squeegee in the shower and wipe the walls after each use. No special cleaning products are required for sparkling glass, either. A mixture of mild dish soap, water, and distilled white vinegar will cut through soap scum and water stains and keep your glass looking its best.

2. Minimize Mildew

Mildew is a common problem that frequently develops on shower curtains, and the bathroom's warm, moist atmosphere only encourages further growth. Glass, unlike other shower curtain materials, is not porous, which means that it isn't hospitable for mildew or mold. With less incidence of mold, a glass enclosure provides a safer bathroom environment and healthier air quality within the space.

3. Enjoy a Brighter, Airier Bathroom

A traditional shower is often boxy and closed off, while a glass shower instills a feeling of openness and airiness—both of which are important in bathrooms since they tend to be among the smaller rooms in many homes. Light bounces off and passes through glass, expanding the sense of space within the room. Glass also enhances the layout and flow of a room, making it a more cohesive, unified space rather than a small area with disparate sections.
