Replacing / Updating Your Shower Glass


Choosing a shower glass can be a daunting task for the homeowner as he tries to balance the initial budget and the prevailing needs. A walk-in bathroom proves to be a major improvement in your house. It enhances convenience benefits, but it also increases your property value. Showers are upgrades of what was used in ancient times- bathroom curtains. Unlike the bathroom curtains, installing glass showers ensures your bathroom is kept dry and stylish.



There has been a massive shift in the shower glass trends and designs in the modern world, which has resulted in various availability of unique colors, designs, and patterns presented by different kinds of glass showers. Depending on your pocket, preferences, and the desired shower door layout, you can choose from the many kinds of glass showers. Remember the existing or the planned shower door is key in choosing the type of glass shower you require. The following list entails the different types of shower glass you can incorporate into your installation projects.

Clear Glass

The most known type of shower glass is the clear one. It is prominently installed in many houses today. Its extensive acquisition by most of the population has been fueled by its benefits. Clear glass allows light inside the bathroom, and it's clean-looking immediately. The transparency property of clear glass enhances the belief of a big house when that isn't the case.

However, the fact that it lets light in easily poses a major problem as it does not hide dirt of any kind, which may seem disgusting to your visitors. Consequently, resulting in the need for frequent cleaning almost after every shower, which may be time-consuming.

Frosted Glass


Do you need a little bit of privacy in your bathroom? Frosted glass got you. Frosted glass has distinct textures which provide more privacy than clear glass. Also, the frosted glass comes in different designs and colors, which ultimately offer a wide variety of modern materials to choose from. Unlike clear glass, frosted glass hides fingerprints' visibility, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.



Homeowners who don't have enough time to clean the glass showers prefer frosted glass to reduce the maintenance cost and energy. However, cleaning frosted glass sometimes gets extremely hard, especially when the accumulation of soap scum occurs.

Rain Glass


In the same case with frosted glass, rain glass offers a scenic view of the entire bathroom while allowing some light to pass through. Rain glass is textured on one side to resemble the rain droplets, while the other side is left smooth. They are ideal for sharing bathrooms to ensure maximum privacy and hide streaks and dirt. Therefore, reducing maintenance costs and time. If you are looking for a low-maintenance cost glass, look no further.

Tinted Shower Glass


Another kind of shower glass offers scenic beauty to the bathroom by incorporating different color schemes which are at par with the bathroom's theme. Ideally, tinted glass aims to ensure privacy for the homeowner while using the bathroom. Tinted glass allows some light to pass through but reduces the level of visibility of objects on the other side. They come in different designs and styles hence offering a unique appearance to the rest of your bathroom.

Low-Iron Glass


This type of shower glass consists of less iron content, reducing the greenish tint, ultimately ensuring a clear view of the bathroom. Therefore, your bathroom receives enough light, highlighting your bathroom walls. Low-iron glass is commonly referred to as HD glass due to its clear characteristics. However, the clarity expected results in more spot and streak visibility, requiring constant maintenance as you would be required to clean the glass to eliminate stains frequently.

Hammered Glass


Hammered glass has dented characteristics, and as its name suggests, they resemble hammered metal. These glasses enhance visual effects in the bathroom by allowing light to pass through. Although, they are not as effective as other types of glasses as far as obscuring light is concerned. Hence, they are not considered alternative components for privacy protection.

Patterned Glass


Are you looking to update your bathroom? Patterned glass offers the best option to ensure your bathroom suits your taste. Like any other glasses, patterned glass needs frequent cleaning to stay in good condition. However, regular deposits of soap scum provide fertile ground for mildew and mold growth, resulting in a disgusting view. You don't want that, do you? Therefore, it's highly advisable always to ensure you thoroughly maintain this type of glass to avoid them looking unkempt.

Bronze Glass


It is made from copper components hence offering a tinted coppery resemblance. Comparatively, bronze glass offers privacy properties to the homeowner with tinted or opaque glass. Additionally, they result in a unique view of your bathroom, lifting its touch.

Polar Glass


Just as the name suggests, polar glass is made to resemble ice. Of course, the ice offers opaque characteristics that ensure highly maintained privacy. When making polar glass, one side is made of distinctive, textured elements to give it high opacity characteristics. Polar glass brings forth fantastic imagination resulting from the appearance of ice on the glass.

Gray Glass


This kind of shower glass is made to resemble a tinted smokey look. The tinted look offers its privacy characteristics. Choose gray glass if you need the best privacy and remarkable resemblance in your bathroom.

Custom-made glasses offer terrific scenic views of bathroom showers. Ensure you select the best type of glass shower, which, of course, matches your stylish design, pocket, and your needs. Glass showers also add value to the existing property and open up the benefits of adding new life to your house.

As elaborated above, there exist many types of shower glass in the universe for you. You only need to choose the best option. Your choice will affect the entire outlook of your bathroom and affect your overall mood immediately you step into your shower. From your bathing experience to your planning mechanism, the kind of shower glass you install affects the entire bathroom's design. Carefully analyze your needs, bathroom needs, and preferences, and then choose wisely.
