Why tempered glass is more and more popular as glass shower enclosure/ glass shower door,the advantages including safety, practicality, and aesthetics:
-High safety: Tempered toughened glass undergoes special treatment, resulting in impact strength over 3-5 times that of ordinary glass. When shattered, it forms granular fragments rather than sharp shards, significantly reducing the risk of injury.
-Waterproof and Moisture-Proof: Its fully sealed design effectively isolates moisture from the shower area, preventing water splashes from spreading to the dry area, keeping the bathroom dry for extended periods and reducing mold growth.
-Beautiful and Transparent: The transparent material creates a more spacious feel without affecting natural light, making it particularly suitable for smaller apartments, enhancing the sense of brightness and modernity.
-Easy to clean and maintain: The smooth surface is stain-resistant, requiring only a damp cloth to remove water stains daily; no special maintenance is required.
-Customized privacy and functionality: Frosted, embossed, or laminated glass can transmit light while maintaining privacy. For example, frosted glass reduces the visibility of water marks, while laminated glass (double-layered) further prevents shattering and splashing.
-Durable and cost-effective: Compared to stone or composite panels, tempered glass with competitive price, has a long lifespan, and resists aging and deformation, making it suitable for both home and commercial spaces.
About the suitable thickness for glass shower door: 6mm is recommended for curved designs (for ease of bending), while 8-10mm tempered glass is recommended for straight designs for increased stability. Framed shower enclosures are recommended to be ≥8 mm toughened glass, while frameless shower enclosures should be ≥12 mm tempered glass.
