Thinking of updating your bathroom? Giving your outdated bathroom an update not only increases the value of your home, it can increase happiness for you and your family. Think of how relaxing and enjoyable a new bathroom will be after a hard day’s work!

A frameless glass shower door is one way to give your bathroom a modern feel and a 21st-century update. When you’re ready to start this home improvement project, it’s important to take the following steps first:

1. Consider the bathroom’s current usage and how it will be used in the future.

2. Decide on a budget for the project.3. Take accurate measurements.

4. Choose the type of glass you will use for your frameless glass shower doors.

5. Choose the hardware.

If you like the look of frameless doors and they’re within your budget, your first step in this project will be to determine the configuration and take measurements. When it comes to measuring for a shower door, accuracy is very important so that you have a proper seal. You will then need to consider the angle of the door because most shower hardware fits 90, 135 or 180- degree angles.

Next, decide if you want a swinging door or a sliding door, and whether you have enough room for that second option. Depending on the look and size of your bathroom, a door can be designed for a 90-degree angle or can be custom fit.

For a sliding door, you’d normally want to have about a 4-foot area to work with. For a swinging door, you want to make sure that when opening the door, it won’t hit a vanity, toilet, baseboard heater, towel bar or anything else.

If you’re working with a smaller size bathroom, consider a single door, which is perfect for a corner shower. A frameless shower enclosure — either rectangular or hexagonal — works well in large bathrooms for a modern look.

The last step in creating your frameless glass shower door is choosing your glass. Glass finish options are nearly endless! Many luxury showers feature clear glass so you can see the hardware and other finishes inside. A great upgrade option is low-iron glass, which is much more optically clear and can add to the open feel of a shower.

Do you already have a framed shower door? You can transform your bathroom inexpensively by upgrading to a frameless shower door. It’s an easy way to go from plain to modern and sleek.
