Benefits of Kitchen Glass Splash Backs and Frameless Shower Screens
Homeowners are always looking for new and exciting ways to increase the value of their home while enhancing their internal design features and providing methods for easy care and maintenance. Due to many modern technological advancements in glass and tile construction, Kitchen Glass Splash Backs and Frameless Shower Screens are becoming a new and exciting trend that also come with a wide range of additional benefits and advantages.
Custom Fit
Glass is very easy to manipulate, providing an affordable and stylish custom fit for either splash backs or oddly shaped shower designs. Due to the extreme safety hazards involved with the installation process, you will want a professional expert with abilities in this specific area. Your normal home repair contractor or local construction coordinator may be less expensive, but the finished product will lack in visual aesthetics.
Cleaning Made Simple
When standard methods of tile and grout are used in our showers and splash backs, keeping these surfaces clean and attractive is a daunting task. Due to the porous nature of the grout, mold, mildew and bacteria are a constant threat to these types of designs. This often leads to re-grouting over and over again as the grout will change in color to yellow or even black. Glass provides easy maintenance with just a damp cloth.

Durable Reliability
The glass that is used in splash backs and shower stalls is not your normal, everyday window pane glass. This version is highly strengthened to withstand hundreds of pounds of pressure, making it more durable and long-lasting than traditional tile and grout. You can even install glass behind cooktops and gas induction ovens where standard glass would crack and break due to extreme temperatures and heat.
Let the Sun Shine In!
Glass features of showers and splash backs will help to enhance the natural light that floods into your kitchens and bathrooms. This tempered glass is highly reflective, better illuminating darker work areas or smaller bathrooms. Glass provides extra lighting effects for rooms without windows as well, whereas wall tile can often decrease these effects especially if the color is too dark.
More Design Options
The choices are endless when you are dealing with glass, especially for splash backs. You are not relegated to simply clear selections. Glass splash backs can be made in a variety of different colors and styles, including an opaque version for an extra unique appeal. Add some LED lighting behind your glass features to create a visual affect that is like no other home that you have ever seen. Choose any color you like, from greens to blues, reds, pinks, or ambers.
Maintain the Health of your Family
Splash Backs and Frameless Shower Screens are a very attractive option for improving the interiors of your kitchens and bathrooms, but the unmistakable benefit is in the increased hygienics of your interior spaces with the use of glass instead of tile. Remember, dirt, grime and bacteria are not only unsightly, but these microbes can also be very unhealthy for your loved ones, especially in homes with small children!
