Shower & Tub Enclosures

Bathrooms no longer have to be plain, basic and boring to be functional. They can also be beautiful, chic and someplace that's a pleasure to retreat to. In recent years shower and tub enclosures have become one of the best investments a homeowner can make in their bathroom. Both for the present enjoyment and future resale. According to Home & Garden magazine, "The bathroom is the new kitchen", and dollars spent there will bring a return when the home is sold. The options available for shower and tub enclosures are numerous. Choose between framed and frameless designs in either 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" glass. Options for glass include clear, obscure, patterned, etched or slumped designs in various shapes and colors. Compliment any of these options with over a dozen different hardware finishes and you'll have your own unique statement that will combine both beauty and functionality.

Depending on the design and size of your shower or bath, a framed enclosure may best suit your needs. Structurally stronger than most frameless units due to the metal component, it allows for the use of lighter 1/4" glass and can be less expensive as well. Framed units may also be more water tight due to the close tolerances and flush joints.

Frameless units give a more contemporary open look to your shower by eliminating a majority of the metal framework around the glass. Most frameless units utilize 3/8" or 1/2" glass and their design options are too numerous to list. These structures can provide simple elegance or elaborate architectural appeal to a bathroom. Please be aware that safety is always our number one concern and due to certain size and design limitations not every enclosure can be totally or even partially frameless.
