Have you fallen down the home renovation rabbit hole and can’t seem to get yourself out? With so many options out there and so many design inspirations surrounding us, it can be difficult to focus on some of the more affordable upgrades you can make to enhance your existing space.

How about a bathtub upgrade? One way to help keep costs down is to consider adding a glass shower door or partial panel to your existing tub. Custom tub-shower combos are beginning to trend as they offer functionality and aligns with modern day style.

5 Reasons Why a Glass Door for a Bathtub is a Good Idea

• Keep your Floors Dry: It is hard to avoid with a shower curtain. Your arm hits the curtain and water falls to the floor or you realize the shower liner is outside the tub and soaking the floor. By adding a glass door to your tub, you have added a sealed layer of protection to block water from escaping.
• Retain Heat: A glass door helps you enjoy a nicer, warmer, shower or bath by blocking cold air from coming in and preventing warm steamy air from escaping, giving you the ultimate “spa-like” experience.
• Clean and More Hygienic: Shower curtains are made from soft materials which can retain moisture and ultimately become discolored, worn and moldy. This is something you do not need to consider with a glass shower door.
• Clean Modern Look: A Simple and contemporary look in a bathroom is the hot thing right now and a glass door or panel can help make even the most traditional spaces feel more modern and fresh.
• Timeless Investment: Rest easy knowing you made a smart investment into your home. Glass is a timeless design element that will always be in style and a custom glass shower can help raise your property’s value.

Glass Shower Door Installation for a Bathtub

We work with manufactures like C.R. Laurence and Splendor Shower Door, Inc to be able to build your dream shower or shower tub combo. If you have any other questions, feel free to send us a message contact us directly at (630) 232-1200.

Windows are a big part of any home, offering design and function. Like anything nowadays, windows become outdated, which can play a role in your home’s energy efficiency as well as impact your comfort.

You may wonder, “how long do windows last”? Or “When should I replace my windows”? There Is no expiration date, however, depending on the type of window, they could last up to 40 years. Wood windows typically last you at least 15-20 years before you need to consider replacing them. Vinyl and aluminum windows can last between 20-40 years.

That said, there are many reasons why someone may need to consider window glass replacement for a single window or two in their home or business, other than age. Below we have provided a list of items for you to consider, to understand if you need to replace a window.

When Should You Replace Your Windows?

• Your windows are cracked or shattered – Not only will this impact your home’s energy efficiency but it becomes a safety hazard. Someone can cut themselves or worse, an intruder could enter your home easier.
• Your windows begin to let outside air into the house – This can make the air inside your home uncomfortable, for example it can become warm and humid or dry and cold.
• You noticed your utilities are higher and your AC/heating is working harder – With air coming into your home, your HVAC system needs to work overtime in efforts to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
• Condensation is building up – Condensation can impact the ability to see out your windows as well as introduce mold and water seepage into your home.
• Looking to add value to your home – Windows, especially nowadays, have become a design element and also can offer extreme energy efficiency.

There are a number of different energy efficient window options nowadays, such as Thermopane glass, also known as, IGUs or Insulated Glass Units. An IGU window is constructed with two or more glass panes, separated with space filled with a form of air or gas. The gas layer helps disperses heat, which helps maintain the temperature within your home (or business) more efficiently during those hot summer and cold winter months.

Why IGUs are the Best Windows to Buy 

• Improved energy efficiency of your home: IGUs act as a thermal barrier, allowing heat to be maintained more efficiently during the cold winter months and keep the air in your home or business cool during the warm winter months.
• Money saving opportunity: With this improved efficiency, your heating and cooling systems will not have to work as hard, thus saving you money on your energy bill.
• Dampens noise from getting in: With multiple, thick, layers of glass along with the gas layer between the glass panes, these windows reduce the level of noise from passing through.
• Enhanced safety: With the airtight sealing in addition to having the multiple glass panes, IGU windows are tougher and harder to break than most other windows, which can provide peace of mind if you are faced with a major storm or even an outsider trying to enter your home.

We have been in the Glass business for nearly 3 decades, and after all these years, the most asked question we get is “What is the best water repellent for my glass shower doors?”

We use our showers daily (well, some of us do) and they get abused with all the products we use. Shampoo being flung around and foamy soap bubbles begin to collect on the glass panels, sliding down and eventually drying and becoming built up soap scum.

Additionally, everyone’s water is different and depending on your home’s water supply, and that can also impact the longevity of your glass shower. Certain water softeners or wells can develop “hard-water” stains on the glass, making the shower look dirty. No one wants a dirty shower.

An easy way to address this is to purchase a water repellent spray specifically for your glass shower door.

The Best Shower Spray 

In our professional opinion, purchasing a commercial shower spray is the route to go and one the best water repellent sprays is Rain-X for Shower Doors. This product offers an ultra-slick, non-stick, clear barrier to spray over your glass door or panels. This product will repel water for up to a month between applications.

Steps to Keep your Glass Shower Clean and Clean:

• Ensure the glass is clean and dry
• Spray a couple squirts onto a microfiber cloth or paper towel
• Wipe the product, in a circular motion, onto the clean glass surface
• Let the product dry for up to an hour
• Wipe thoroughly once more, to ensure any haze is clear
• Re-apply every month

Bathroom renovations can become expensive, quick, especially when considering a new custom glass shower. That said, there are ways to achieve that expensive and upgraded modern look without having to break the bank.

One way to keep costs down, is to consider upgrading your existing tub shower doors or curtain  with quality glass enclosures or doors.

Saving Opportunities When Adding Glass Doors or Panels on a Bathtub

Ditching the shower curtain or even the builder-grade glass shower door on your existing bathtub can take your bathroom remodel to the next level, with significantly lower costs compared to replacing the entire shower, saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars. 

In addition to the cost savings opportunities, another upside to enhancing your current bathtub is that it can drastically decrease your bathroom renovation timeline, which is always a plus. “Time is money” as they often say, and depending on style, this project can be completed in as little as a few hours.

Bathtub Styles & Remodel Options

Going down this route does not limit you, design wise. In fact, there are many style options you can choose from to customize your bathtub and still give that ultra-luxury look. Some styles include: 

• Swinging glass doors 
• Sliding glass doors 
• Hydroslide glass doors
• Frameless glass doors
• Frameless glass enclosures
• Bathtub glass panels

Custom glass shower doors truly elevate the look and feel of your bathroom. However, you may not have anticipated the maintenance that comes with this modern-day home upgrade. Water, soap, and shampoo splashes on the glass panels which can leave hard water stains and develop soap residue build-up if not properly maintained or treated.

Below you will find a few recommendations on how to keep your beautiful glass shower door and panels crystal clear, like the day they were installed. 

Bathroom Squeegee 

One of the most effective ways to keep your glass shower free of spots, build-up and mildew is to purchase a squeegee for your bathroom. This method does require persistence, as we recommend to squeegee the glass panels after each time you shower. That said, making this part of your routine will guarantee a clean and clear shower for years to come.

You can find some of the best shower squeegees for under $10 on Amazon that come with a hanging hook that suctions to the wall of your shower for ultimate convenience. 

If you’re looking for foolproof preventive maintenance, this is the option for you.

Homemade Shower Spray

Perhaps you are trying to clean already built-up soap scum and hard water stains and prefer to use a natural alternative to store-bought sprays with harsh chemicals, but don’t want to sacrifice the tough stain-fighting power that products such as Rain-X provide. There are a number of natural shower sprays that you can make at home. Below is one of our favorite daily shower spray recipes:

Ingredients:

• ½ cup distilled white vinegar
  • Replace vinegar with isopropyl alcohol for showers with natural stone surfaces**
• 1 ½ cup filtered water
• Several drops of your favorite essential oil (optional)

Instructions:

• Mix the ingredients in a spray bottle
• Spray your entire glass shower (including floor)
• Let the surfaces air dry

This is a wonderful natural and cost effective option that will keep your shower sparkling without the intense fumes that many chemically-filled sprays bring.

Best Shower Spray to Buy

One of the easiest ways to clean your glass shower and prevent stains and grime from building up would be to purchase a commercial shower spray, such as Rain-X for Shower Doors. Products like this offer water repellent coating that can last weeks. The downside to these products are the chemical heavy smells as well as cost, as some sprays can run upwards of $30 per bottle.
