Stylish Shower Enclosures Westchester New York


by Cheri Yang


Shower enclosures Westchester New York take into consideration the originality of individual style. There is no one type of enclosure that works for everyone any more than every bathroom is built the same. Meanwhile, shampoo time can often be fitted into a corner which, when enclosed, looks quite out of the ordinary.

A regular squared-off format is simplest. Some look more like part of a hexagon. Others feature raised portions, requiring that the door also be multi-leveled. Or, for one installed in an attic room where the roof slants, the door will also do so.

Your door shape must fit well. The point is to keep water from leaking out. Otherwise, you might as well save your money and install shower curtains. The same goes for panels around your bathtub: kids splashing in a bath can leave big puddles which are slippery, dangerous and can sometimes seep into the floor.

There are two basic types. One is framed, perhaps the most common. Handles and hinges are built against the frame, made of brushed nickel or stain chrome for instance. Get a gold or silver effect. Some companies handle other bathroom fixtures. By working with just one firm, it is easier to establish a unified look between mirror, medicine cabinet and shower.

A second sort sports no frame. No metal features to break-up the look of glass, or what can be seen behind it. This is the sort to choose when you think metal would distract from beautiful mosaic tile work. This sort of glass is heavier and bonded at the edges with a mixture of metals painted on for extra security. Handles and hinges are built into the glass.

For a compromise between the two, firms will build doors which are almost without frames. These may sport metallic edging at just a side panel. They could incorporate some where it is most aesthetically pleasing. Added to your choice of styles are handles, either open or knob-formed. Select from a wide array, even models to simulate antique modes. If you are aspiring to recreate an older-look with modern comfort, this could be the way to go. Match bath claw feet to stylised handles.

Like lots of fittings in the home, where customers have the creative flare to do their own thing, consider bespoke models. Having your fixtures custom made will mean they are unique to your own home. Just think of all the factors that go into creating your bathroom: tiles, sinks, cupboards; that glass door should fit with it all. If your order is unique, it could take a while. Companies may stock catalogue models to fit right away at a lower cost. Professionals will also do repair work on existing models.

Choosing glass can become just as much a part of the decision-making process as any other part. Some people imagine straight, transparent glass. In fact, for extra privacy, customers can get textured or frosted glass instead. Catalogues show numerous patterns, from a chaotic maze of cracks to a delicate snowfall. With frameless doors you may want to consider changing the straight edge notion to a rounded one.
