General Glass Tub Enclosures

Glass fixtures are gorgeous additions to any bathroom. Glass doors can easily upgrade a room from drab to sleek and modern. If glass is used right, a tiny cramped bathroom could look quite spacious.
Glass tub enclosures, as simple as they may be, can be a bit complicated. The exact measurements of your shower area and the space between your shower and other fixtures count. The amount of time you have for cleanup and your budgets are other things to consider. So before getting glass doors, make sure to be certain if it really fits your lifestyle and home.
Frameless Doors
Frameless shower doors are a type of glass tub enclosure that does not use metal exteriors. This kind typically uses thick tempered glass, so it can be pretty strong.

If you have a gorgeous shower area, this might be the type of glass tub enclosure for you.
Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

Make sure you get heavy-duty hinges, high-quality handles, and thick glass for your door. A patented glass coating would be ideal too. A semi-frameless shower door helps give bathrooms a sleek, streamlined look with less cost.
Framed Shower Doors
Framed shower doors are more affordable than their frameless counterparts. This doesn’t mean they’re one to scoff at, though. Framed glass tub enclosures can be chic too.
