Walk-in Shower - Glass wall/door or shower curtain?
Comments (7)After staying in a hotel last week with a walk in shower approximately 36" deep with a shower curtain, I strongly advise against a shower curtain. Assuming your bathroom will have an exhaust fan to help ventilate the moisture from the shower, you have to expect the shower curtain to be impacted by the moving air. The warm shower air is drawn up over the curtain into the fan. And of course more air needs to be drawn into the shower, so how does it get in there? That's right, it blows the curtain into the shower allowing the air to go under the curtain. Trying to shave my legs with a wet shower curtain sticking to my legs and arms and behind is very unpleasant. When I redo my master shower I will definitely be going with a glass door and/or fixed panel....See MoreRemove shower doors and still keep fiberglass bath

Comments (9)Glass is not smooth when viewed under a microscope, it's actually full of dimples and pits. That's where lime and other minerals can build up. You can order your shower glass with a super glossy coating that's applied after the glass has been tempered. The coating fills the dimples so lime and other minerals have nowhere to hold on and run off with the water, so your glass will stay clear longer. I your glass is coated, do not use acid based glass cleaner such as Windex etc., repeated use will remove the coating. Personally I'm glad we have the coating. Our MB shower glass is as clear as when we bought it, 8 years ago. DH is in a hurry in the morning, so he usually doesn't use the squeegee, while I do. The coating let's you get away with intermittent use of the squeegee. But don't skip too many times, Lime eventually will build up despite the super glossy surface and once there, it's really hard to remove without an acid-based cleaner, in fact it takes lots and lots of elbow grease. Best to not let that happen, and clean at least every other time. I was given a half a dozen specialty shower glass foam spray cleaners by my installers, Well, in 8 years I've only started using one of the bottles. The last time I used it, all I did was remove dust and finger prints on the outside of the shower glass....See Moreazbruin21
