Revamping your bathroom or diving into a full-on renovation? Either way, finding the perfect glass shower screen or door can be a surprisingly delightful challenge. It’s a chance to harmonize your design preferences with practical necessities. No longer just a trend, glass shower screens exist as a practical design choice that opens your visual space, letting light flow freely and making your bathroom feel more expansive and welcoming.

1. Know Thy Bathroom

Start by getting cozy with the space available. What’s the vibe? Spacious retreat or more of a compact nook? Accurate measurements are crucial, plus nobody wants a shower screen that just won’t fit —ensure you measure twice to confirm the dimensions. This helps in determining the best arrangement for your shower glass panels, whether that’s a fixed tub screen, a door-panel combination, or a corner setup to maximize your bathroom’s functionality.

2. A Style that Speaks to You

Whether you're drawn to the sleek appeal of modern minimalism or the warm ambiance of traditional decor, framed or not glass shower doors and screens either blend seamlessly with your existing decor or serve as a striking statement piece. Shower screens, although frameless, feature hardware of high-quality materials like brass or stainless steel with a finish that effortlessly blends with other fixtures in your bathroom, whether that's chrome, brushed matte gold, or matte black.

3. Think in Glass Thickness

When shopping for fixed glass shower panels, just look for thicker options. The thickness of the glass is not just a measure of durability, but also an assurance of quality. Options typically range from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch, with thicker glass offering a sturdier feel and better stability. It's essential to ensure that your bathroom's walls can accommodate the weight of a thicker shower screen.

4. Explore Glass Styles

There’s a universe of glass options for shower screens, doors, and bathtub screens, each opening you to a new realm of possibilities for your bathroom's design. Whether you prefer unobstructed views offered by clear glass or the serene privacy of frosted and textured varieties, there’s a style to perfectly match your vision. Embrace the elegance of the fluted glass or the bold, structured look of grid glass to add a distinctive architectural element to your functional retreat.

5. Functional or Stylish: Why Not Both?

As you consider the many options available for your bathroom remodel project, frameless shower screens, like the VIGO Arden, stand out as an example of how style and functionality can coexist beautifully. Whether you opt for the seamless expanse of the frameless model or the structured sophistication of the framed version, both styles brighten the space by amplifying natural light, creating a more open space that invites. The robust materials and precise craftmanship of the Arden ensure smooth operation and a watertight seal that prevents any water leakage gracefully.
