Choosing between a glass shower door and a shower curtain is surprisingly difficult. Neither of them is a clear good pick, for they have their own set of advantages and disadvantages. Today, Impact Home Solutions sheds light on the pros and cons of each of them.
Why Choose a Glass Shower Door
Every honest bathroom contractor will recommend a glass shower enclosure if you want to make your space look bigger. The use of a transparent material is a psychological trick, fooling the eye into believing that there is more space than there really is.
Furthermore, glass shower walls are customizable, virtually watertight, and popular. If your shower is of odd dimensions, you hate splashes in other parts of the bath, and raise the value of your house, go with a glass shower door.
Why Not Choose a Glass Shower Door
High price is a common criticism against a glass shower enclosure. The shower and tub replacement cost alone eat up a significant portion of your bathroom remodeling budget. Furthermore, glass is prone to breakage, so it requires caution.
Why Choose a Shower Curtain
Any shower curtain is easy on the pocket. In other words, it is forgiving; you can change it and buy replacements without hurting your finances. More importantly, a shower curtain is kid-friendly. Its fabric could be punctured, but it will not injure anyone.
Why Not Choose a Shower Curtain
The upkeep of a shower curtain can be a hassle. It can be difficult to clean and will probably need to be tossed after a few years. Also, this covering can make your shower dark and small. It may not be a good choice if you have claustrophobia.
