Frameless Shower Screens - The Compact Bathroom Look of Today

The shower plays a very important role in the bathroom as part of the overall interior design, especially the shower screen. So, before you invest some serious money in your bathroom, you want to make sure that your product selection will complement your bathroom space, and will stay fashionable for many years to come.

There is a huge variety of shower screens online, but no matter what your bathroom style is, your best choice will always be a transparent glass frameless shower screen. There are a number of reasons why a frameless shower screen is superior to the other shower screens online.

• Visual appeal

Well, first of all, frameless shower screens are the most visually appealing. Their clean and minimalist design will separate your bathroom space without being intrusive and will allow other bathroom features, like your tiles, to dominate. Nontransparent materials or shower curtains act as interior obstructions. They break visibility and create an illusion of less bathroom space while a transparent frameless shower screen allows the eye to process the whole room and will always make your bathroom look not only bigger but brighter as well.

• Timeless style

No one can predict the future and know for sure what will be in style 10 years from now, but it is safe to guess that clear glass won't date and is almost guaranteed to complement any bathroom design style you choose. You can further reduce the risk of it falling out of fashion by selecting hinges with a simple design.

• Practicality and functionality

For starters, frameless showers screens are very easy to install. With older shower screens, getting the framing just right can turn out to be very tricky (if you are a DIY person you know that very well). But with frameless shower screens, you don't have to worry about that since the fixtures can easily be retrofitted to fit your bathroom specifications.

Thanks to the advances in glass tempering technology frameless shower screens today are much cheaper, very durable, and the fittings designed to last a long time leave you with little or no maintenance to worry about.

• Easy cleaning

Frameless shower screens are very easy to clean. The lack of metals frames means that there is no corrosion or rust and no areas for mold and filth to build up. Also, glass itself has a non-porous surface which means it won't harbor any bacteria or germs, won't build up stains, and a simple wipe with a squeegee or a wet rug is enough to keep it clean.

These are some of the benefits that make frameless shower screens a very popular choice for Australian homes and they would make an excellent addition to your bathroom.
