The Truth of Frameless Glass Shower Doors
Frameless Glass Shower Doors have been growing in popularity thanks to their amazing aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability. However, there are still some people who believe frameless glass shower doors are unreliable and unsafe due to the myths surrounding them. CFG Shower Doors & Closets wants to show the truth behind those myths.
Breaking Down The Myths
No one can deny that glass shower doors add a level of elegance and luxury to your bathroom. They can also make your bathroom seem larger and more open, so why would people want to install other options? It’s because these people have most likely been exposed to some of the common myths that surround frameless glass shower doors and have decided to go with another option. The truth is that a lot of these myths are false and are made up by different people. Below, you’ll find the truth about glass shower doors.
- Glass doors “explode” when showering: This myth appeared after many people were claiming that their glass doors were exploding when taking hot showers. With any glass product, there is a minuscule chance of this ever happening. Glass shower doors are also made out of tempered glass, which is much stronger than standard glass. Even if it were to somehow break, tempered glass doesn’t break into shards making chances of injury much less.
- They are “maintenance free”: While it would be nice, there is nothing in this world that is “maintenance free”. While a protective glass coating can be applied to a glass shower door, it won’t make it maintenance-free. It will still require a usual cleaning.
- Frameless glass shower doors leak water: If the shower enclosure was properly installed, there should never be any water leaking from the shower. This can also happen if the showerhead is pointing too close to the door. If you think your shower enclosure was incorrectly installed, contact the CFG team immediately.
- Glass shower doors can’t be installed on fiberglass or acrylic: While it is true that it may not be the best to install on, it can still be done with the same level of effectiveness as any other wall. Just make sure that the proper type of installation is being done.
- Showerhead position is irrelevant: This is not true. Showerhead positioning may not seem like it plays a large role, but it can determine if there will be a leakage or not. Depending on what type of door is being installed, the showerhead needs to be placed in the correct location relative to the doors themselves.
