Your bathroom is one of the most essential rooms in your home, and you want it be a room that is attractive and functional. The right bath screen system can make a difference in how your bathroom looks. There are several types of bath screen systems you can choose.
Framed
A framed bath screen system has a door that is a piece of glass entirely surrounded by a frame. The door will be a sliding door or swinging door that opens into your shower area.
Advantages: The shower will stay self-contained. If this type of bath screen system is installed correctly, it should last for more than 10 years.
Disadvantages: The glass in a framed bath screen needs to be thinner and weaker than it is in other types of bath screens.
Semi-Framed
A semi-framed bath screen system has a door that is not entirely framed by metal. The metal may only be on the bottom to stop drips from the shower.
Advantages: The framing for these systems is available in a number of colours. This means you may be able to find a colour that is a perfect match for the décor in your bathroom. The frame is smaller than it is in a fully framed bath screen system. This makes it easier to clean. More light comes into the system because there is more glass than there is in a fully framed system.
Disadvantages: The glass is not as strong as it is in a fully frameless bath screen system. The frame may hide some features of the system. These systems also require more parts for installation than other bath screen systems.
Fully Frameless
A fully frameless bath screen system is made with heavy glass. The structure is supported by pivot points.
Advantages: It comes in a number of designs and styles. You will easily be able to choose a style that matches your bathroom and suits your personal taste. It lasts for a long time. You will find that it easy to take care of and clean. A frameless bath screen system can make a small bathroom appear larger. This may be ideal for you if you have a small bathroom.
Disadvantages: It is more expensive than framed or semi-framed bath screens. If it is not installed, properly, it is likely to leak.
