Who's going to be the winner? Will it be the Shower curtain? Throw your mind back a bit and picture the scene.
You go in the shower and as you are lathering soap over yourself, the shower curtain wafts in and sticks on you.
At this point we have a fight between you and the curtain.
Afterall who is actually the lawful occupant of the small shower enclosure, you or the curtain? And finally you are all squeeky clean and out you step right into a small lake of water.
Oh dear, not again! You didn't think to make sure that the shower curtains were on the inside of the shower, rather than on the outside, dripping water everywhere on the bathroom floor! With any luck you don't slip at the same time, landing on your 'you know what.
Well those are most of the cons I can think of right now, however fortunately there's two benefits I must point out.
Shower curtains can be used as an emergency drape in case you find yourself without a towel in the bathroom.
You truly don't want to hop down the passageway totally naked! Another attractive factor about shower curtains is that they are far less expensive when compared with glass shower enclosures.
Or will Glass Shower Enclosures be the winner in the tug-of-war? To begin with, glass enclosures keep your water exactly where it is supposed to be, that is, inside the shower cubicle! Today's glass shower enclosures are so well produced and sealed that every producer is without a doubt very proud of the fact that water doesn't run out onto the bathroom floor.
They're easy to clean.
I personally do not believe anybody needs to be reminded of all the mildew which sticks so easily to shower curtains.
What a breeding ground perfect for mildew and mold to flourish! And then there is the headache to keep them nice and clean.
The beauty of modern day glass shower enclosures is that the glass features a special covering.
This covering protects the glass from being damaged and it also repels water.
Yippee! Forget about brainless scrubbing to get the shower dazzling clean.
Because the glass repels water and moisture, there is absolutely no spot for any kind of mildew to adhere to.
Those days are gone of a small, dimly lit shower tucked away into the corner.
The majority of manufacturers are more than willing to custom make any shape even if it's a sloping framework to fit in a loft.
Shape isn't any problem.
If there is definitely no room for a standalone shower, you will be able to get a glass shower enclosure to put around the bath.
Problem solved! If you are remodelling the bathroom, even better.
Go wild and make your shower as large as you are able.
Why not a shower designed for two! Now that could be fun.
These days, many people prefer showering.
Maybe it's a time issue, or possibly it's just so more enjoyable to stand under a stream of water.
To balance the debate, between shower curtains and glass shower enclosures I've got to think of at least one negative point to the glass enclosures.
The only thing I can see is the expense, but hey, I don't think that's a real problem once you think of all the wonderful benefits to a glass shower enclosure! The result is...
certainly, Glass Shower Enclosures!
