Frameless shower glass for a sleek look

Thursday, 31 May 2012 11:01 AM

A frameless shower is a sleek alternative to traditional cubicle style frames.
A frameless shower looks most at home in a modern bathroom and it is important to pick the correct style of shower to complement the design of the room.
There are three main frameless shower types; a walk-in, wetroom panels and minimalist.

Pictured above is the bespoke walk-in shower from Merlyn Showering.
A bespoke walk-in is the best frameless alternative for a family bathroom or a bathroom with a strange shape.
It can be made to fit the space and allows quick easy access for bathrooms that have a heavy traffic flow.
Because it is frameless the shower still remains stylish yet very functional.
Another benefit of this shower is that the glass comes in a variety of makes including standard, satin, opti-white or smoked black which allows for privacy in a family-used bathroom.

Next in the line is the wetroom which is often a luxury design option for high-end bathrooms.

The wetroom is a cubed area with no door allowing for a free flow between the bathroom and the shower.
This type of frameless shower is a good option for the ensuite off the master bedroom, or for those who want an on-trend bathroom design.

Finally, the minimalist look is fairly new and is used here in the space of a leisure and recreation room rather than a bathroom.
This frameless shower creates its own space in a room otherwise not used for showering.
It is wet room compatible and is the most seamless of the bunch using a high-tech UV bonding technique to attach glass to glass without needing any brackets.
