Glass guide
A glass shower instead of plastic or a shower curtain
Plastic elements or shower curtains can work in the short term. If you want lasting quality from your bathroom, you should compare the effect, care and service life.
Glass looks clearer in the long term
A glass shower that fits precisely keeps sight lines open and enhances the room. It looks less makeshift than a curtain and less heavy than many standard cubicles.
Care depends on the details
Glass needs looking after too. The advantage comes from smooth, accessible surfaces, suitable fittings and seals that match how the shower is used.
- choose the water drainage and door movement to suit the bathroom
- see seals as details that can be maintained
- consider privacy through the glass type rather than a curtain
Looking beyond the price of the initial purchase
A high-quality glass solution is usually not a cheap solution. What matters is whether it keeps its function, appearance and everyday practicality over many years.
Comparing before you decide
- How long is the solution to be used for?
- How important are appearance, care and the effect in the room?
- Are there non-standard sizes, alcoves or sloping ceilings?
