When selecting a shower enclosure, it's important to consider factors such as available space, bathroom layout, door opening direction, glass thickness, and your personal style. Taking accurate measurements of your space is crucial for a proper fit.What is the difference between framed and frameless shower enclosures?
Frameless enclosures utilize thicker tempered glass with minimal hardware, providing a modern and sleek appearance. Framed enclosures, on the other hand, feature metal frames around the glass panels, offering more versatility and often a more budget-friendly option.What glass thickness is recommended?
