Spring is the season for sprucing up the look of your home, inside and out. A bathroom is a room that gets constant use and is a space that offers a bang for your buck on return in the event that you sell your home. One of the easiest ways to achieve a trendy bathroom appearance as part of a full remodel or just to replace that moldy shower curtain or stained aluminum door, is to install a new, state-of-the-art frameless glass shower slider.
Ridgefield Glass is an industry leader in expert glass shower design and installation for some of the most prominent homes in Connecticut and New York. To accommodate the company's growing inventory of innovative glass products and styles, owner John Petchonka will relocate the showroom to 159 Danbury Road in Ridgefield on May 1st.
“We specialize in helping you decide on a style that’s going to showcase your bathroom while remaining budget conscious and attentive to the practicality of the design.” said John Petchonka, owner of Ridgefield Glass. “There are now several choices in choosing a frameless slider. By moving to a new, more appropriate facility, we can offer more visual options to our clients.”
Frameless shower door enclosures offer a sophisticated, bright look and give your bathroom a more spacious feel. Frameless showers are constructed with thick tempered glass panels for structural integrity. When a swinging door is not an option due to limited space or interference with vanities or toilet, traditionally, a framed shower slider with a bulky top header and side channels was the only option. Frameless sliders were available via import from Europe but were expensive with long lead times. Now, several domestic suppliers have developed frameless sliders with a decorative fixed support bar that supports the sliding glass door on decorative exposed rollers. There are several roller designs available to fit the design requirements, style and budget of every homeowner.
Ridgefield Glass offers a variety of frameless slider options:
- Select Elite Series
- Serenity Series
- Hydro Slide
“When considering a change that’s going to make sense for aesthetics and practical purposes, the frameless slider design is often the best approach,” said Petchonka.
Ridgefield Glass’ frameless showers with swinging doors are installed without wall channel or large clamps and without a header, resulting in the most elegant appearance of a shower enclosure. Their design allows the door to open 90 degrees out as well as into the shower, a great feature to allow the shower to “dry” after use without obstructing traffic flow through your bathroom. Petchonka notes these frameless shower enclosures will turn your daily shower into a spa-like experience while ultimately increasing the value and desirability of your home.
