Cleaning Tips for Frameless Shower Enclosures

Posted on by jumpsix

If you are looking to upgrade your shower enclosure or install a brand-new shower, Ryan’s all-glass can help. We offer a variety of different enclosures, from semi-frameless to sliding shower doors. We also provide completely frameless shower enclosures. Frameless designs offer a few cleaning challenges not found in other types of enclosures. Because they are made exclusively from glass, frameless shower doors require more attention to keep them clean. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass will take a look at some cleaning tips for frameless shower enclosures.

Daily Cleanings

Regular, daily cleanings are the key to keeping frameless shower enclosures clear. Luckily, cleaning frameless shower doors isn’t a huge pain. It is easy to rinse the inside of the glass shower doors each time you use the shower to keep the shower doors clean. You can also buy daily shower sprays to apply in an easy step to protect your shower doors.

Use a Squeegee

Using a squeegee to clean your shower doors is a great way to make sure you are not leaving particles or soap within your shower enclosure. Squeegees don’t absorb the water, soap spots, or particles. They simply move them. When you combine a squeegee with a quick rinse with your showerhead, you can easily wash your shower every day. Run a squeegee over the interior shower door and glass at the end of every shower; it only takes a few seconds each time. However, a quick once-over can prevent soap scum and water stains from building up on your glass.

Utilize the Right Glass Cleaners

Along with simple, daily shower enclosure cleaning routines, utilizing glass cleaner is the best long-term solution. Ryan’s all-glass highly recommends the glass cleaner we provide to keep your glass shiny and looking brand new. Regardless of what type of glass cleaner you use, you should apply a glass cleaner at least once every two weeks. You don’t need to clean your glass with shower cleaner every day, but using it regularly keeps your shower looking brand new and prevents the need for deep cleans.

What to Look for in a New Shower Enclosure

Posted on by jumpsix

If you want to add a new shower enclosure to your bathroom, there are a variety of options and factors to consider. You need to know what type of shower door you want, what style design you are looking for, and whether or not you want custom options. The factors to consider vary from aesthetic to practical considerations, and it’s vital to understand the details. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass evaluates what you should look for in a new shower enclosure.

Frameless Options

One popular bathroom design trend is the frameless shower enclosure. Frameless options, specifically with the Dublin frameless series from Ryan’s all-glass, offer flexibility with shape, size, and pattern, making it an extremely customizable shower design. If your bathroom doesn’t have typical dimensions or you’re simply looking for a unique shower door, our Dublin series is the perfect solution. Besides the customization options, frameless shower doors have a sleek and minimalistic look that gives your bathroom a more modern feel.

Opening Styles

Another factor to consider when choosing a shower enclosure is how the door will open. There are several ways a shower door can open, from swinging doors to sliding doors. Sliding shower doors are the most common. But when it comes to customized showers, swinging doors are becoming more popular. Sliding doors are typically the standard unless you are upgrading your bathroom. Ryan’s all-glass works with both sliding and swinging doors, giving you more flexibility when installing a new shower. When choosing the way your shower door opens, the dimensions and layout of your bathroom play a pivotal role. A sliding door might make more sense if a swinging door would hit a wall, sink, or toilet.

Tub or No Tub?

A wild card consideration for a new shower enclosure is whether or not to include a tub. Most showers that include a bathtub don’t typically have an enclosure. They merely utilize a curtain. If your enclosure will have a tub, you can eliminate most frameless options from consideration. However, you can still use a semi-frameless enclosure and even a sliding door if you don’t want a curtain alone.

Three Shower Enclosure Trends That Will Transform Your Bathroom

Posted on by jumpsix

Just like any room in your home, your bathroom has lots of interior design potential. If you are planning on selling your home in the future, investing in your bathroom will help you build home value. However, to do that, you need to be caught up on interior design trends. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass we will give you three shower enclosure trends that will transform your bathroom.

1. Frameless Shower Enclosures

One of the biggest bathroom trends that has carried over for years from 2017 to 2019 is that of frameless shower enclosures. Ryan’s all-glass was the first glass company to offer European frameless showers in Cincinnati. These showers look much sleeker than other enclosures with no metal to distract you from your tilework. A frameless shower enclosure is also easier to keep clean and free of mildew. These enclosures are great for all homes, no matter your style.

2. Tile Patterns

Tile patterns have long been common in kitchens, often used as backsplashes between cabinets and countertops. However, tile patterns are quickly becoming more common for shower enclosures. Tiles can be made of ceramic or glass materials, depending on your preference. Tile patterns are most often used on shower floors and walls, surrounded by a regular shower door or a frameless shower enclosure. This is a trend that is gaining traction in 2019.

3. Industrial Style Fixtures

One of the unique shower enclosure design trends in 2019 is an industrial design style. This design centers around bathroom fixtures, such as sinks, vanities, and faucets. This style often includes brass metal finishing and even brick features. In shower enclosures, an industrial showerhead can deliver a timeless Victorian style that is both beautiful and functional.

Design Tips for Your Shower Doors

Posted on by jumpsix

Glass shower door

Shower doors serve a very practical purpose for your bathroom, but they can be a valuable design element as well. Whether you are building a new home or simply renovating your bathroom, finding the right shower door can make a huge difference in the overall style of the space. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass will take a look at a few design tips for your shower doors as well as trends that dominate this area.

Keep Overall Design In Mind

The most common mistake with shower doors, especially when it comes to the design of your bathroom, is picking a door that doesn’t go with the overall style of the bathroom. A sleek, frameless shower enclosure is a fantastic aesthetic element for your bathroom. But if the overall look of your bathroom or home is more Victorian or vintage, a frameless shower door will conflict with that overall design.

The important thing to do when picking out features like vanities or shower doors is to find pieces that are must-haves and design your bathroom around those. For instance, if you absolutely must-have a sleek, frameless shower, you need to design your bathroom around that.

Consider Frameless Shower Enclosures

If you are redesigning or renovating your bathroom, you should absolutely consider a frameless shower enclosure. They are on the cutting edge of design and are much easier to clean than regular shower doors. There isn’t a single design element that will be more beneficial to your bathroom design than a beautiful frameless shower enclosure. Much like a vanity, a frameless shower enclosure will be the centerpiece and set the tone of your bathroom.

Take Careful Measurements

Shower doors are one of the few things that people will elect to install themselves, so it’s important to take extra precautions with your measurements if you won’t have any professional help. The most common mistake made is not measuring correctly or failing to account for wall angles. If you have a full shower enclosure with walls, you must design a curb that allows your door to swing freely. If the angle of the door and the wall is not 90 degrees, it will be restricted.

Why Do Shower Doors Matter?

Why Are Shower Doors Important?

When it comes to modern bathroom design, few things are as important as the shower door. And they aren’t just important because of the stylish design value they provide. Along with their aesthetic quality, they also serve a very practical function and are beneficial for things like your home value and sustainability. Today, Ryan’s All-Glass will explain why shower doors are important.

Home Value

Shower doors are also important because they increase the value of your home. While potential buyers might look at your yard or the kitchen before they look at the bathroom, there are few rooms that are more frustrating to renovate than the bathroom. A bad shower door and shower enclosure is a quick way to turn potential home buyers away. Nobody wants to buy a home that immediately requires renovations, and a badly designed shower requires exactly that.

Sustainability

Your shower can be the most difficult feature of your home to keep up to date and up to code. Mold can easily begin to sneak in if your shower isn’t taken care of correctly and with a damaged shower door, your shower can turn into a hazard. At the end of the day, you want your shower to be aesthetically appealing and built to last. Investing in a high-quality door will keep your shower sustainable, preventing you from spending big dollars on shower repairs.

Picking the right shower enclosure and door is a big decision for your home, so you will want the experts helping you.

Here are Perfect Custom Glass Features for Your Bathroom

Glass bathroom sink

If you are planning to renovate your bathroom, custom glass options are a great feature to consider for your design. Whether you want to add style to your vanity or update your shower design, custom glass features will always be among the best options. In today’s blog, Ryan’s All-Glass will discuss perfect custom glass features for your bathroom project.

Mirrors

When it comes to custom glass products for your bathroom, the mirror is a great place to start. While there are other glass features in a bathroom, few are used as often as the mirror. A custom glass mirror provides a stylish focal point for the space, adding remarkable depth and beauty.

At Ryan’s All-Glass, we offer custom cutting for unique mirror designs, so you can create the perfect style for your perfect bathroom.

Showers

While mirrors are the best place to begin when choosing custom glass features for a bathroom, a glass shower has the potential to be a more beautiful addition — especially if your current design employs a plastic shower curtain. A glass shower enclosure opens up the space and will improve the overall design of the room. If you want to take your style a step further, you can choose a frameless glass shower design, which is a completely glass shower enclosure requiring no metal or plastic frames.

Glass Repair

While new custom glass features are a great addition to the style of your bathroom, your current glass pieces might just need some improvements or repairs. At Ryan’s All-Glass, we can repair all of the glass elements in your bathroom, from cracked mirrors to fogged windows. Whatever glass repair needs you may have, the experts at Ryan’s All-Glass are prepared to make your bathroom look good as new.

Glass Trends: Outdoor Glass Showers

Posted on by jumpsix

Why You Need an Outdoor Glass Shower

Simplistic outdoor glass shower enclosure

Just because the seasons change doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy everything an outdoor shower offers! Whether the forecast predicts hot summer sun or a crisp autumn chill, an outdoor shower could be the satisfying escape you’ve been searching for. There are many benefits to installing an outdoor shower at home. Today, Ryan’s all-glass will discuss the pros of this latest glass trend.

Be One with Nature

Outdoor showers allow you to be one with nature. Not just for beach and poolside rinse-offs, these beautiful home additions are a refreshing take on a mundane daily task. An outdoor glass shower allows you to spend 10-15 minutes in nature. Whether it extends from your main indoor bathroom or is a stand-alone hidden structure, an outdoor shower can be a glass paradise right at home.

Privacy Settings

An outdoor glass shower can be as private as you need it to be. Choose from stained glass partitions, glass brick enclosures, textured glass pathways, and hidden shower hideaways. You can design your outdoor shower to your preferred privacy settings and know that it will look stunning when the light shines through the glass.

Safety and Durability

Because your glass shower enclosure will be outdoors, having thick, tempered glass is the best way to ensure safety and durability. When designing your elegant shower hideaway, it’s important to consider local climate, longevity and upkeep. If you’re in an area that’s prone to harsh weather, a sturdier structure is highly suggested — preferably one that extends from a main structure.

All that’s required is a bit of maintenance and upkeep to enjoy your outdoor retreat year-round!

Elevate Your Shower with Ryan’s all-glass

The best way to elevate your outdoor shower game is by framing it with elegant glass. With Ryan’s all-glass, you can custom design every aspect, from a transparent panel to a decorative stained-glass hideaway. A glass shower enclosure is the perfect addition to your backyard paradise.
