Are frameless shower doors safe?

图片
Frameless shower doors   are not thin measures Frameless glass shower doors are made of tempered or safety glass, which is less likely to break than laminated and annealed glass. The likelihood of breakage is minimal, but the possibility is always there.  Tempered glass for frameless shower stalls is available in 1/2-inch and 3/8-inch thicknesses. This glass is specially treated to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a break.     Tempered glass prevents breakage Tempered glass is approximately four times stronger than laminated or annealed glass, with a minimum surface compression of 10,000 pounds per square inch. If annealed glass breaks, it forms shards and jagged pieces that can easily cut or cause injury. In the event that tempered glass does break, it will form small pieces, reducing the risk of injury. Tempered glass can break like this because it is made by heating and then quickly cooling the glass.   Safety glass can also be made by heating anneal...

图片
There are several reasons to choose   a sliding shower door , especially when compared to a traditional hinged shower door or shower curtain. Some of the reasons are obvious: shower curtains can make a bathroom look outdated and dirty after a few years. On the other hand, hinged shower doors are not practical in terms of cleaning. That should be enough to convince you to choose a sliding glass door - but wait!

Uses and Types of Bypass Shower Doors

图片
  Uses and Types of Bypass Shower Doors Bypass shower doors  can be installed on a bathtub/shower stall or some shower-only stalls. A bypass shower door is never needed on a tub without a showerhead because a splash guard is not required. Typically, bypass shower doors have a metal frame. This metal frame provides much needed structural support for thin glass or plastic and helps the door slide more easily along the track. However, frameless shower doors made of thicker tempered glass can also be found.   Bypass Shower Doors vs. Pivot Shower Doors Bypass shower doors are very different from another common type of shower door: pivot doors. A pivot door is similar to the type of door you use to enter a room, hinged on one side and opening on the other. Pivot shower doors are for shower applications only. Pivot doors are easy to install and keep clean, but they take up valuable bathroom floor space because door swing space must be considered. For bathrooms used by young chi...
