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.

Pros and Cons of Frameless Shower Enclosures

Posted on by jumpsix

Glass shower enclosure

If you are renovating your bathroom, there are several pieces that you will almost certainly be looking to upgrade. Your vanity will be one of those features and your shower will be the other. When choosing the right shower, you will look at several types of options, including frameless shower enclosures. In today’s blog post, Ryan’s all-glass takes a look at the pros and cons of frameless shower enclosures.

Pro: Frameless Shower Enclosures Look Better

If you are renovating or redesigning your bathroom, you are likely doing it because you want your bathroom to look better. When it comes to design, this is clear: frameless shower enclosures look better than traditional enclosures. Framed shower enclosures are bulkier and more vulnerable to mold and mildew. A frameless enclosure is a clean and beautiful addition to your bathroom.  

Con: Frameless Options Will Cost More Money

While frameless shower enclosures are the best option in terms of the design of your bathroom, that benefit will come at a cost. Compared to more traditional enclosures, frameless options will typically cost more money. However, that money isn’t wasted. Unlike traditional options, frameless shower enclosures are often fully customizable. This allows you to conform your shower design to your bathroom design, rather than the other way around.

Pro: Frameless Options Are Cost-Effective

In the long run, frameless shower enclosures are more cost-effective than traditional options. They allow you to dictate the design of your bathroom because they are often fully customizable. They also minimize the risk of mold, which will save time and money on cleaning and repairs. Similarly, the absence of a frame means that you won’t have to worry about expenses related to damage or corrosion on metal frames and fittings.

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.

Here are Perfect Custom Glass Features for Your Bathroom

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

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.
