Glass shower partitions

In recent years, glass shower partitions for the bathroom have become increasingly popular. Such constructions can be used both in large rooms and in small ones.

What kind of glass is used for shower partitions?

A very important factor is the safety and quality of the structure being purchased. Therefore, before ordering a shower with a glass partition, you need to choose the right material. As a rule, sheets with the thickness of 8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm are most often used as a glass partition for a shower enclosure . This indicator, as you understand, significantly affects the strength and, as a consequence, the weight of the structure.

If we talk further about the strength of glass shower partitions for the bathroom, then it's time to remember heat treatment, that is, about hardening. The fact is that tempered glass is more expensive than usual, and fully justifies this difference by its technical characteristics. Among them - increased strength and heat resistance. As you know, a shower room with a hardened glass partition is much better resistant to temperature changes and mechanical damage. And even if such damage happens, the glass breaks up into fragments that do not have cutting edges, and cutting the skin with such broken bits becomes almost impossible. Tempered glass makes it possible to make shower glass partitions of various designs with a sliding and radial way of opening the doors. Sliding shower glass partitions are most often used in those bathrooms where it is impossible to install a radial door, and also based on taste preferences.
