All About Shower Glass

Your home’s bathrooms are important spaces that play a vital role in keeping your family clean and healthy. According to one study, Americans spend nearly 50 hours per year in the shower (8.2 minutes per shower). Multiply that by each member of your family and it’s easy to see that your home’s bath or shower is getting a lot of use.

At Glass Doctor^®, we’re proud to offer glass bath and shower enclosure installation, renovation, replacement and repair services that transform average bathrooms into functional oases.

Whether you’re looking to enhance or repair your existing bath or shower enclosure or you’re hoping to renovate your home’s existing shower glass, Glass Doctor technicians are ready to help you realize your bathroom glass dreams.

Why Choose Glass Bath and Shower Enclosures?

Glass bath and shower enclosures are ideal for residential bathrooms for many reasons, including:

Versatility: The options are nearly endless! From sleek, modern frameless to glass block and framed varieties, there are many types of bath and shower enclosures that are ready-to-install or that can be custom-made for your home.
Safety: Modern glass bath and shower enclosures are made of tempered glass, which is less likely to break because it has more tensile strength. Tempered glass shower doors and enclosures are strong but if they break due to defects in the installation or the glass itself, it breaks into smaller, duller pieces instead of large, sharp or jagged shards.
Cleaning & Maintenance: Shower and bath glass is easy to keep clean as long as you keep up on routine cleaning and aren’t averse to using a little elbow grease. From natural DIY methods that utilize distilled white vinegar or lemon juice and salt to conventional cleaners, there’s a method for you to keep a glass bath or shower enclosure clean and beautiful.
