Step-By-Step: Choosing the Right Accessories for Your New Shower
The right shower enclosures not just make your bathrooms more decorative but also more functional and practical. So, whether it's for renovation, improvement, or building a shower enclosure from the ground up, ensure that you look at all these products to create a unified and inviting shower enclosure. In addition to this, it's important to know the material, finish, and dimensions of the shower accessories to determine the installation, maintenance, and cleaning costs in the long run.
Choosing shower door accessories can be pretty confusing; hence we have jotted down the important factors to keep in mind while shopping for them. We have also added various links to help you choose the ideal product.
1. Door hinges, pull handles, and knobs
The pull handles and knobs are customarily designed to fit seamlessly into a bathroom's overall style. They facilitate convenient opening and closing of the shower door. When looking for a new handle or knob, focus on the design and finish that best suits the type of your bathroom decor.
The door hinges come in various forms to help facilitate the smooth open and close motion of your bathroom door. Hence, it is important to measure the thickness of the glass while buying one.
2. Headers, towel, and support bars
The shower headers help maintain the structure of the door and provide support to the adjacent panels. Hence, while buying them, one must focus on the materials to ensure sturdiness and lasting use.
When choosing support bars and towel bars, one must ensure they have a rust-resistant coating since they are the most noticeable accessories. While buying a new one, one must consider their finish and design as they will contribute to the look and feel of your bathroom.
3. Glass clamps, brackets, and clips
While installing the shower door, it is important to ensure the weight of the glass is evenly distributed. The glass clamps, brackets, and clips are designed to do just that. When picking the right product, one must focus on the thickness of the glass to ensure a secure fit.
4. Door wipes and seals
The primary use of shower door wipes and seals is to prevent the water from escaping gaps between the doors. To ensure efficient functioning, they come in various shapes and compositions. While picking out the wipes and seals, one must take into consideration the material, as cheap constructions tend to scratch the glass surface.
With improved mounting systems that have thick glass supported by sleek and stronger hinges, you can have a shower that seems to float or even disappear. You can choose the mounting hardware depending on the door type. They usually come in framed, semi-framed, freestanding, and frameless forms.
Hardware Finish/Color
The most important factor that defines the look of your bathroom is the color and finish of its hardware. You must be specific while picking them out as each finish comes in various shades. For example, when opting for a brass color, you can choose from brass, satin brass, or ultra-brass finishes. The same goes for other finishes.
