Glass Shower Enclosures: What You Need to Know Before You Buy

Gone are the days when bathrooms were cramped, no-frills spaces with a simple toilet, sink and standard-size tub/shower combination. Today’s homeowners want spa-like bathrooms that offer beauty as well as function. One of the emerging trends is the stand-alone shower enclosure with crystal-clear glass that shows off the elegant fixtures and rich materials of the shower, such as marble, soapstone and granite.

Unfortunately, many people don’t realize that ordinary glass is porous. When hard water, soap and even household cleaners are combined with the heat and humidity typical of shower environments, glass can corrode and no amount of scrubbing will remove the staining and scale that result.

One remedy that homeowners can turn to is spray-on or wipe-on treatments to protect the glass. But when these coatings wear off, staining, streaking and corrosion can occur. Another solution, ShowerGuard™ glass from Guardian Industries, uses a patented ion beam technology to permanently seal the surface of the glass during manufacturing. With this new product, there is never a need to reapply the protection and the appearance can be maintained with a soft cloth or wet sponge and most common household cleaners.

If you’re in the market for a shower enclosure, here are tips on what to ask the bath dealer or the professionals handling your remodeling project:

Is the shower glass protected? First, ask if the surface of the shower glass has a sealant or other protective treatment. Standard glass can become streaked and stained quickly.

When and how is the sealant applied? If the shower glass is protected, find out what type of sealant is used and when it is applied. Some glass coatings are applied after the glass is manufactured, which could result in their wearing off in a relatively short period of time.

Are there special cleaners that must be used? Some glass treatments require special cleaners and techniques rather than ordinary household cleaners.

How long will the protection last? Some spray-on or wipe-on glass treatments can cease to protect the glass after two or three years and reapplication can be messy.

Thickness of glass varies among products, however, thicker is better as it provides more advantages.

Designing The Perfect Bathroom For Your Needs

Often times the design of bathrooms are not given much consideration. Many people focus on the décor of the bathroom, while neglecting the functional design. Of course, depending on the type of bathroom you’re building, you will need to keep different factors in mind. This article will consider the design factors for three different types of bathrooms.

Master bathrooms
The design and functionality of master bathrooms vary widely. Some are relatively basic, while others have a whirlpool or other features. Some are even divided into multiple rooms! You just have to decide what features you want yours to have!

Commercial restrooms
When designing commercial bathrooms, two major factors to consider are privacy and sanitation. Privacy is usually solved one of two ways – for single stall restrooms, a lock on the door; for multi stall restrooms, locks on the stall doors. That way it’s easy to tell which stalls are in use.

As far as sanitation is concerned, one feature that will help a lot is tile floors and walls, and a drain in the floor. That way, you can just bleach and hose down the entire bathroom on a regular basis. Any feature that will make sanitation easier or simpler should be given consideration.

Of course, durability should be a given in commercial bathrooms. People will treat fixtures roughly, so they should be built to withstand the abuse.

Kids’ bathrooms
If you’re designing a bathroom for your kids, the main factors you probably want to consider are safety and durability.

With safety in mind, you should consider to as much as possible use non slip surfaces. Also, kids WILL spill water in the bathroom, so try to design the bathroom in such a way that spilled water will not cause damage or a safety hazard.

Durability is pretty obvious, for the most part – minimize glass and other delicate decorations and fixtures.

Creating a Tropical Bathroom on a Budget

Tired of that same old boring bathroom?  You want a change, something Tropical, but you just don’t have the money to pull off some of the looks that the magazines show right?  Wrong!  Here are some tips to help you create a tropical paradise in your bathroom without breaking the bank:

Make a game plan of what you would like to do to your bathroom.  While it doesn’t have to be elaborate blue prints, just a small list of what you would like to do and the end result you want to create will be enough to keep you on track while out looking for items.  This will also help you to stay within a budget and not overspend on things that you didn’t plan on.

Hit local dollar stores.  You might have to hit a couple before you find anything that you like or can use, but you can usually find the basics here like: toothbrush holders, cups, soaps, towels, rugs, etc.  Some might even carry strands of ivy or palm that you can buy really cheap to help decorate your bathroom with.

Hit local fabric shops or stores that carry bolts of fabric.  If you like the look of the sheer, white, material strung above a bath or shower like a canopy of bug netting, this is the place to get it. You don’t need to shell out all those bucks for expensive material, just pick out some very lightweight white or off-white material for your canopy, but make sure that you get enough to cover the canopies that you want to make.

Hit local discount stores.  If the dollar stores just don’t have what you wanted, hit some local discount stores.  While this will be little more expensive than the dollar shops, it still won’t cost you as much as the department stores and specialty shops.  You should be able to find everything you need here.

Grab some foliage.  If you have room in your bath for a small, fake palm, grab one while you are at a local discount store.  If you only have room for smaller plants, you can either go with the fake ones, or you can get a couple of real ones.  Ivy plants work great in bathrooms since they like the moisture in the air and they don’t require too much direct sunlight to grow wild.

There are several places where you can find information on fixing up bathrooms on a budget. There are several periodicals and loads of information online. The key is to plan exactly what you want and comparison shop before making a purchase.

By following these few steps while shopping for tropical décor for your bath, not only will you save money, but soon you will be enjoying a tropical paradise in your own home.  Just remember to stick to what you want to do and not deviate too much from your game plan or you can go overboard really quickly.  Happy shopping and happy decorating!

America Hits The Showers

Imagine washing your worries away under a showerhead large enough to cover your entire body. Or consider the soothing sensation of massaging water jets set to the temperature and rhythm of your choosing. Now, think about enjoying this spa-worthy pampering in the comfort of your own home. If these indulgences sound appealing, you’re not alone. For more and more individuals, the daily forecast is calling for long, heavy showers.

Within the past few years, bathrooms have rapidly evolved into a kind of oasis within the home-growing larger in both size and importance as people seek refuge from increasing stresses and strains. Kitchen and Bath Business magazine recently reported that consumers are so passionate about this most private space of the home that bathroom remodeling jobs have increased 29 percent since 2000 and high-end remodeling jobs are expected to increase another 17 percent in the next year.

“No longer are bathrooms purely functional spaces for cleaning and grooming,” says Paul Flowers, vice president of design for Grohe, one of the largest faucet companies in the world. “Hip hotels and spas have opened our eyes to the pleasures of hydrotherapy and more people want to bring this luxurious experience into their own homes.”

Nowhere is this trend more evident than in the variety of shower products flooding the marketplace. Among the most popular new offerings are “rain” products. As the name implies, these designs create the sensation of soaking in a refreshing, tropical rain shower. Rain-style showerheads are available in a multitude of sizes, but for what may be the ultimate rainshower experience there’s a gigantic showerhead measuring 16 inches in diameter, the largest available on the market. This impressive product also features more than 250 water nozzles expertly arranged to provide full-body coverage with no “dry” zones.

“Showers are a time to block out the world around us and focus on cleansing our minds and souls-as well as our bodies,” says Flowers. “With our 16-inch Rainshower, you really feel as if you’re escaping into an intense cascade of water. It’s simultaneously soothing and reinvigorating.”

Sometimes it’s necessary to take matters into your own hands -literally. Hand showers, already hugely popular in Europe, are becoming increasingly fashionable in the U.S. The best designs make reaching all parts of the body effortless through ergonomically shaped handles and multiple spray patterns that let you set your shower to your mood. For added comfort and ease, look for those with a 360-degree swivel capacity that eliminates twisting and kinking of the hand shower hose, and a double-insulation design that protects from hot water temperatures.

Demand also is increasing for shower panels that allow users to customize their showers based on their individual preferences-be it a light sprinkle or a total downpour. Easy to install and available in sizes to suit any bathroom, these all-in-one designs combine traditional showerheads, hand showers and a variety of repositionable body sprays to create an extreme shower experience by distributing water from two or more directions.

Whether it’s a quick, energizing shower first thing in the morning or a long, relaxing water massage before bed, there’s now no excuse for denying yourself the pampering you deserve. With today’s range of sumptuous bathroom products, you can create a spa that’s only minutes away and open 365 days a year.
