Busting Common Myths About Shower Enclosures

Are you tired of water splashing all around during your relaxing bath routine? Do you hate cleaning the mess after daily showers? One solution to this common problem is shower enclosures.

Shower enclosures are dedicated bath cabins installed within your bathroom for a neat and mess-free shower experience. Among different types, glass shower enclosures are being widely adopted in new-age interior designs.

However, some myths still confuse people regarding the application and installation of enclosures in bathrooms. This blog intends to bust the most common myths about shower enclosures, helping you make an informed decision.

Common Myths About Glass Shower Enclosures

#Myth 1: Shower Enclosures Can Explode

Shower cubicles, especially glass shower enclosures, can explode due to extreme temperatures. Moreover, using hot water inside the cubicle can compromise the quality of a shower enclosure and increase injury risks.

Fact

Our glass shower enclosures are made of high-quality tempered glass and other materials that can withstand high temperatures. Moreover, tempered glass does not shatter easily, and if it does, AIS Stronglas™ only breaks into blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injuries for the person inside.

#Myth 2: Frameless Shower Enclosures Leak

Glass shower enclosures, especially frameless ones, are often assumed to have leakage issues. This is assumed due to the gaps between the glass door and the floor.

Fact

Our high-quality glass shower enclosures are designed to prevent water leakage during showers and keep the dry areas intact. Choosing high-quality glass shower enclosures and getting professional installation from us can ensure a leak-free application.

#Myth 3: Shower Enclosures are Difficult to Clean

Cleaning and maintaining the crystal-clear appearance of a shower enclosure is difficult. It requires frequent professional cleaning to keep the glass shower enclosures clean.

Fact

Once a glass shower enclosure is installed in your bathroom, it only requires regular cleaning using a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild soap mixture. The best part is that watermarks do not stain the glass if it is cleaned regularly, ensuring a neat look throughout.

Whether you choose our framed or frameless shower enclosure, cleaning takes a few minutes to retain the quality and durability of these enclosures.

#Myth 4: Only One Glass Type Is Available

Only transparent glass is available for shower enclosures, making it difficult to install one that matches different aesthetics.

Fact

At AIS Windows, you can explore a variety of glass options for shower enclosures, each designed to offer unique benefits of a shower enclosure in terms of style, safety, and functionality. You can choose from textured, insulated, frosted, tempered and clear glass. This allows you to customise your bathroom decor without compromising on quality.

#Myth 5: Shower Enclosures Reduce Floor Space

Installing a shower enclosure reduces the available space in the bathroom and makes it look small and cluttered.

Fact

Shower enclosures are the best investment to optimise available bathroom space. We offer shower enclosures in different designs, including straight, curved, walk-in, sliding, pivot and bi-fold. For smaller bathrooms, a curved corner enclosure or sliding door enclosure works best, whereas for spacious bathrooms, pivot or walk-in shower enclosures are ideal.

#Myth 6: No Customisation Flexibility

You cannot customise your shower enclosure for specific aesthetic requirements or based on available floor space.

Fact

A shower enclosure is part of your bathroom, and you can personalise it with any design you like. Your bathroom should reflect your style while complementing the surrounding aesthetics.

With AIS Windows, you can customise shower enclosures for size, glass thickness, type of door and additional accessories like towel bars, etc., without any hassle.

#Myth 7: Limited Privacy

Glass is a transparent material. Choosing glass shower enclosures can raise privacy concerns, especially if they are installed in common bathrooms.

Fact

The privacy of a glass shower enclosure is determined by the type of glass used for its construction. You can opt for frosted glass or textured glass, which can elevate the enclosure's aesthetics while enhancing its privacy.

#Myth 8: Shower Enclosures Are Expensive

Shower enclosures are expensive, given that they offer only a few benefits that replacement and repair costs easily overpower.

Fact

Shower enclosures add elegance and sophistication to your bathroom, ensuring a neat and clutter-free look. They offer numerous benefits, like reduced risk of injuries and water leakage with a clear division between wet and dry areas, proper space optimisation and enhanced aesthetic appeal.

With these benefits, shower enclosures are more of an investment for long-term benefits. They only require regular cleaning to retain their quality and ensure maximum durability.

Conclusion

Glass shower enclosures are sturdy to ensure durability and strength. They can be customised as per your liking and make your bathroom look more spacious and sophisticated.

At AIS Windows, we offer a wide range of glass shower enclosures to cater to varying design preferences and styles. Our glass shower enclosures assure quality, durability and elegance, making your bathroom a clutter-free spot.
