Many homeowners worry that glass shower doors mean extra cleaning or care. That's simply not the case! Keep reading to learn about the four surprising benefits a glass shower door can provide you with.

1. Opens Up Your Space

Bathrooms are usually the smallest room in the house, and they can get pretty dark. Glass doors don't interrupt the light flow, making sure any natural or artificial light in your bathroom makes it into the shower. Having more light means you're less likely to cut yourself shaving! Additionally, shower curtains cut off sight lines and make the room feel smaller. Glass won't break your sight lines, allows you to see into the shower, and helps the room feel bigger.

2. Mold Resistant

Shower curtains don't completely dry out. The wet plastic clings to the side of the tub, creating a dark damp space -- the perfect spot to breed mold and mildew. With a glass door, when the water is off, all surfaces in the shower are exposed, so everything can dry well. If you go a step further and install a frameless glass shower door, there are no seals to encourage the build-up of water and soap scum.

3. Easy to Clean and Maintain

Let's face it: the bathroom is the trickiest room to clean. Though a glass shower door means you'll have to stay on top of making sure things look spick and span, it'll actually be easier to clean. Glass is easily cleaned with warm soapy water, and if you use a squeegee after every shower, cleaning day will be a cinch! Glass doors, especially frameless ones, require little maintenance. The minimal use of frames and hardware means there's less rust or corrosion to prevent or clean.

4. Long Lasting

At first glance, a shower curtain is much cheaper than installing glass doors. However, a shower curtain must be replaced often, and costs will add up over time. Installing glass is a one-time expense. According to Home Advisor, the average cost of installing a glass shower door is $946. Most homeowners will pay between $534 and $1,373. Glass doors are also made of tempered glass, which means they won't crack or need to be replaced.

A glass shower door is an easy and long-lasting way to upgrade your bathroom to keep it looking sleek and contemporary! Want to look into your options? Call us at Ameri Glass LLC to get started today.
