If you’re looking to update at least one part of your home, you are most certainly not alone. As a matter of fact, well over half (up to two thirds, as a matter of fact) of all home owners are interested in conducting a home renovations project in the near future. Of course, choosing the space that you ultimately decide to renovate is hugely important, of this there is no doubt. For many people, this space will be the bathroom.

It only makes sense that this would be the case. After all, the comfort of your home can be dependent, quite heavily so, on the overall quality of your home’s bathroom. In fact, even the safety of your home can be dependent on exactly this. In many cases, people who are planning to grow old in their current homes will install certain features in their bathroom, such as stability bars and shower seats, to make using the bathroom independently in their old age all the safer. For many people, taking these steps is an absolute must, as the majority of elderly people found all throughout the United States are looking to stay living independently in their homes for as long as they are physically capable of doing so. Updating their bathroom spaces to make them safer help to ensure that this is able to be a reality for as long as possible – or at least for longer than would have been possible if not for such updates and changes.

Of course, functionality is hugely important. Comfort is as well. For this reason, many people are looking to even expand the overall size of their showers and bath tubs, often by at least 50% – if not more than that. For many people, the frameless shower will be the one that provides the feeling of the most space, as a frameless shower enclosure is made to feel open and a part of the rest of the bathroom, even though frameless shower enclosures are, of course, their own standing feature. A frameless shower is often the same as a glass shower, and glass showers are certainly quite commonplace indeed – and have only continued to be just as popular throughout a good number of years. When looking into building a glass shower, the structure that is produced can be a framed system, but the frameless shower is typically more common in the world of glass and mirror installation.

Choosing the right type of glass for your frameless shower will also be very important indeed. For instance, laminated tempered glass is a popular choice for a frameless shower. This is due to the fact that this type of glass is incredibly strong indeed. So strong that it can be up to five times as difficult to fracture as typical glass. This makes it the ideal choice for everyday use, as when you utilize this type of glass for your shower, you help to ensure that it stands the test of time. You get the most bang for your buck, so to speak.

And it’s not just the frameless shower that matters when it comes to the overall appeal of your bathroom space. In addition to the frameless shower, the right custom glass and mirror installation can also go a long way. In fact, using mirrors properly can even help to open up a room as a whole. Covering a wall with a mirror is a great way to open up an otherwise small bathroom space. In fact, it can even make a room feel twice as deep as it actually is. Therefore, a full length mirror is a great addition to any smaller space.

At the end of the day, there are many things to consider when it comes to updating your bathroom space, be it a master bathroom or another bathroom in your home. Updating your bathroom can be hugely ideal for a whole array of reasons, such as for the purposes of aging in your home but for many design purposes as well. Taking such steps and making such renovations is going to be well worth the money that is spent, especially when it comes to selling your home in the end.
