7 Myths About Frameless Glass Shower Screens You Must Ignore

7 Myths About Frameless Glass Shower Screens You Must Ignore

We are not sure how much you know about frameless glass shower screens, but we are pretty sure that the fact you are reading this means you have some interest in them. It might be you have never had a shower screen and thinking of having one installed, or you may be thinking about replacing your existing shower screen during a bathroom renovation with complete bathrooms.

Regardless of your reason for reading about frameless glass shower screens, we hope that the information you have found elsewhere has been informative and factual. We say factual because there are several myths about frameless glass shower screens, which are, at best annoying and, at worst, might give someone the completely wrong impression about them. So, to ensure that you are aware of these myths, we have listed the seven most common ones we have come across.

Frameless Glass Shower Screens Myth #1 – “They Leak”

If you buy a substandard frameless glass shower screen and have it installed by amateurs, it might leak, but we are sure you will not go down that route. Instead, if you buy a quality frameless glass shower screen and have it fitted by a professional shower screen company, it most definitely will not leak.

Frameless Glass Shower Screens Myth #2 – “The Glass Can Explode”

We can only assume this myth arose either because people think the differing temperatures of the water will affect the glass or that someone bumping in the shower screen will cause an issue.

Store-Bought vs. Custom Kitchen Cabinetry – What to Consider

When the time comes to undertake home renovations, there’s much to consider. Near the top of the list is money, followed by value for money, product quality, and service. It would be best if you must also consider whether you’ll hire cabinet makers for your renovation or utilise store-bought, pre-made cabinetry.

Surprisingly, the former points connect with the latte. To get value for money, a high-quality product, and incredible service, you must make the right call to invest in custom kitchen cabinetry or store-bought. These points below might be worth considering.

Quality

One of the most important things to consider when renovating your kitchen is the quality of the cabinetry, flooring, and appliances you will be fitting. A kitchen is one of the most commonly-used parts of any home, so the durability of your material is essential.

While flat-pack, kit-set kitchens serve their purpose, using a cabinet maker for a new kitchen is undoubtedly valuable. They can ensure that the materials they use stand the test of time, are stylish, and stand out from the crowd.
