Everything You Need to Know About Shower Glass

Frameless Shower Doors

Throughout history, the evolution of showering has been a long and winding road, beginning with no bathing at all to culminating with showering beneath a waterfall. Today, we will walk you through the fascinating history of shower enclosures that have wholly elevated the experience to a more luxurious level. Ready to dive in? Let’s get started.

Early Glass Showers

One of the first companies to manufacture shower stalls with transparent doors and walls was a business in Ohio. It started employing tempered glass for these enclosures in 1963, and it has been in use ever since—at least 500 percent more durable than a regular window of equal size.

Unlike some of today’s items, every early enclosure and entry featured a frame to protect the doors and windows. Soon, both swinging and sliding doors were offered for purchase.

Initially, people were drawn to them because of their practical advantages. They kept floors from becoming slippery and made upkeep easier. There was lots of light coming into the swimming area since the surface was translucent. On the other hand, homeowners soon began to choose glass because they wanted more aesthetically pleasing and luxury bathrooms.
