Upgrade to a Frameless Shower Door to add value and longevity to your bathroom

Published by under Bathroom Remodeling, Home Remodeling

Whether your shower stands alone or is combined with a bathtub, the best way to control the shower spray is with a frameless glass shower enclosure. Unlike a disposable shower curtain, a frameless glass shower enclosure holds its looks and its value for years. It is also easier to clean and, if the time does come to replace your enclosure, its metal parts can be recycled easily. You’ll also discover that your frameless glass shower enclosure adds more light and style to your bathroom. When remodeling, a well-planned frameless shower door enclosure helps you open up a tight space, creating an inviting bathroom that also adds considerably to the resale value of your home.

A quality frameless shower door enclosure keeps all water inside the tub or shower; looks good; allows easy movement in and out of the shower is easy to clean. An enclosure’s proper installation is critical to most of these functions. That’s why it’s important, in most cases, to have your enclosure installed by an experienced professional. A professional installation will leave you with a beautiful, leak-free enclosure designed to give you and your family years of service and pleasure.

Some showers have more than one shower head and are large enough to be used by two people at once. Today’s frameless shower enclosure can consist of any number of combinations of in-line and return panels. One of the more popular space-saver configurations is the neo-angle shower. This unit fits into a corner and has three sides of glass. The two sides that attach to the walls are fixed glass with the middle panel being a hinge or pivot door. Today’s selection of frameless shower enclosures provides a wide range of styles and design choices to fit every taste and budget. Choose the enclosure that will be perfect for you.

Alpha Windows and Doors wants you to be prepared for this upcoming hurricane season

As the 2010 Hurricane Season slowly approached the time to prepare is now. The first thing to look for when evaluating your home is if you have impact resistant windows and impact resistant doors. Hurricane damage can be devastating. When debris from high wind storms become penetrating projectiles, ordinary windows and doors fail. Impact windows and impact doors provide a safe and secure storm barrier from windblown projectiles and blowing rain. 

 

Hurricane and storm damage are not the only reasons to replace your standard windows and doors with impact windows and impact doors; you can save money by lowering energy bills as well as lower homeowner insurance rates. Insurance companies lower rates when approved impact resistant windows are installed, with many buildings being required to install impact windows and doors just to maintain their coverage. As an added bonus, impact resistant windows also provide protection from unwanted intruders, reduce noise, and increase the resale value of your home. 

 

Alpha Windows and Doors is a leader in the manufacturing of impact resistant windows in South Florida with 15 years of experience as a premier window and door specialist. The Alpha Windows and Doors team understand the concerns, needs and expectations of our customers, offering high-quality hurricane protection products for new construction or remodeling projects.
