Totally Glass frameless shower screens are the epitome of modern design.
Featuring glass panels that stretch from floor to ceiling without metal framing, these screens offer a sleek and contemporary look. The absence of a metal frame not only enhances the visual appeal but also creates a sense of openness in the bathroom. A frameless glass shower door complements this design, providing a seamless and sophisticated finish. For a complete modern bathroom solution, frameless shower enclosures are the perfect choice.
Why Choose Frameless Shower Screens?
Frameless shower screens have several design features that make them a popular option for contemporary bathrooms:
- Support Without Frames: Utilising channel systems and sealants for support eliminates the need for bulky metal frames.
- Subtle Handles: The unobtrusive handles blend seamlessly with the overall design.
- Emphasis on Glass: These features highlight the beauty of the glass and complement modern bathroom fixtures.
These design elements not only enhance the shower screen’s appearance but also ensure structural stability.
Design and Construction
Totally Glass frameless shower screens offer numerous benefits over traditional framed options:
- Thicker Tempered Glass: Typically 10mm thick, providing stability and safety with a sleek channel system.
- Streamlined Look: The absence of thick metal frames creates a cleaner, more elegant appearance.
- Sense of Space: Frameless designs make even small bathrooms feel larger and more open.
To enhance their contemporary appeal, frameless showers often incorporate minimalist hardware like subtle handles and hinges, designed to complement the sleek look of the glass.
Benefits of Frameless Shower Screens
Frameless shower screens offer many advantages:
- Luxurious Look: Their modern appearance adds a touch of elegance to any bathroom design.
- Enhanced Openness: Clear glass panels create a feeling of spaciousness, particularly beneficial in smaller bathrooms.
- Easy Maintenance: Without metal frames to trap soap scum and mould, frameless screens are easier to clean. We recommend applying glass protection before use, which Totally Glass can arrange for you.
Choosing the Right Design for Your Bathroom
The size and layout of your bathroom will influence your choice of shower screen. Clear glass frameless screens are ideal for small spaces, making the area feel larger. For larger bathrooms, tinted or frosted glass options can add elegance and privacy.
Semi-frameless shower screens with hinged doors are great for smaller or irregular spaces, as they open without obstruction. They are also suitable for showers installed at angles or in uneven spaces, such as attic bathrooms.
When choosing between framed and frameless shower screens, consider factors like durability, cost, maintenance, and style. While framed screens offer traditional appeal and cost-effectiveness, frameless screens provide a sleek, modern look with easier maintenance. Frameless channelled screens offer a versatile option that suits various bathroom designs.
As you plan your bathroom renovation or design, carefully consider these factors to select the shower screen that best meets your needs and enhances your space. Whether you prioritise budget, style, or maintenance, there is a perfect shower screen for you. Transform your bathroom into a sanctuary with the right choice, enjoying the blend of functionality and beauty it brings.
