Common Myths About Frameless Shower Enclosures

In the past, it was only common to find frameless shower enclosures in nice hotels or high-end homes. Today, these shower enclosures are becoming increasingly popular and accessible to the general public. Not all homeowners, however, fully understand how frameless shower enclosures work or cost and avoid installing them. In this post, we discuss several myths surrounding these shower enclosures and try to debunk them.

Frameless Shower Enclosures are Leaky

No, the truth is that there is a higher risk of leaks if the frameless shower enclosure was not properly installed from the start. As long as you hire a professional glass installation company like Best Offer Glass, you never have to worry about frameless shower enclosure leaks or emergency glass repairs. If the shower enclosure is installed correctly, chances are it is sealed correctly, built with the correct structural elements, and feature the right drainage solutions.

Frameless Shower Enclosures are Easily Damaged

One of the most common concerns that comes with installing frameless shower enclosures is that they are difficult to maintain or will shatter without warning. Rest easy knowing that these concerns are not legitimate. Frameless shower partitions often feature thick safety glass, which increases their strength against potential cracks and prevent them from shattering. If your shower enclosure is installed correctly by a trained professional, the chances of the glass shattering are slim. Because these enclosures do not feature metal components, mold and mildewdon’t grow on them which makes maintenance a whole lot easier.

Frameless Shower Enclosures are Expensive

It is true that frameless shower fixtures are more expensive than shower-tub enclosures or framed enclosures. But it is a myth that they are of an exorbitant price range. Frameless shower enclosures have a higher upfront cost but are more cost-effective due to the value they provide over the long-term. If you sell your property, the frameless shower enclosure is definitely a feature you want to show off to potential buyers.
