Frameless Glass Railing – West Vancouver, BC
SHOWER GUARD
This is the best application to protect and keep your shower glass clean. Is it worth the extra spending?
What I always ask my customers regarding this question when remodelling bathrooms is how good they will be about maintaining and cleaning the new glass shower, especially when the old bathroom is obviously neglected. If you are one of those people who wipes the glass down after every single shower and cleans your bathroom every week you really don’t need to spend the extra money. If you are at the other end of the spectrum and clean it when it finally bothers you enough it may not be a bad investment. I’ve had customers tell me they can tell a difference compared to their old glass without Shower Guard and we made them very happy. The application is definitely worth every penny spent, your shower will remain as new for years to come.
Frameless  shower glass and custom made glass products are fast becoming one of the most popular ways to improve the look and feel of your home. Not only do they look stunning, but they can also serve a practical purpose by dividing rooms or sectioning off areas. Glass railings and partitions can be used in a number of ways, including around swimming pools, in the bathroom, on balconies and in offices. This article takes a look at some of the most popular ways that you can use glass in and around your home.
Custom shower glass is sure to look great in any type of bathroom. One of the most common ways to use custom glass is to enclose the shower area. Shower glass can be used to enclose existing shower areas, and it will help to prevent any water leaking out into the surrounding areas. Another benefit of using glass in the bathroom is that it is extremely easy to clean and maintain. The glass can be custom made to fit any type of shower, including corner showers, neo angle showers, steam showers and wet rooms. The glass can also be used around bathtubs to create a protective partition and prevent water from causing damage to the surrounding flooring.
Another way to use glass is to have frameless glass railings built onto your patio or balcony area. Glass railings will allow you to enjoy the view from your home, while providing you with a protective safety barrier. Always choose to use durable, shatter-resistant glass which will give you with a secure barrier that is sure to last for many years to come. There are both top mount and side mount styles to choose from and will be suitable for any application
Glass doors are particularly hot right now, and they are featured in many interior design magazines. They work particularly well in rooms which lead to an outdoor area, as they allow you to enjoy the view from inside the comfort of your own home.
You can section off the area around your swimming pool with a frameless glass partition. Not only will it look beautiful, but it will also give you peace of mind knowing that children or animals are unable to get into the pool area.
Glass partitions can be used to section off areas of a home or commercial office area. They will provide you with a safe and secure partition which will also act as a sound barrier blocking out outside noise. Glass partitions will allow you to see what your employees are up to at all times, while also providing them with a haven away from the rest of the office. These glass partitions can be custom made to your taste, requirements and budgets.

While it is true that frameless glass fencing has unique advantages over balustrades, semi-frameless glass and aluminum, it does come with a price. Any glass fence owner will claim that âan unblocked view is worth every centâ, but how true is this? Today we are looking at four of the most common myths surround glass fences and pointing out some areas where fact and fiction collide.
One reason for shying away from frameless glass is the perceived difficulty of keeping such fences clean. The truth is that it all depends on the quality of glass you choose. Some cheaper glass fences will use thin 8mm or 10mm untreated glass that will indeed be quite hard to keep clean. High quality 12mm glass, however, is typically factory-treated with a hydrophobic coating. This is a permanent version of the popular Rain-X solution you can buy for your carâs windshield. It is often guaranteed for over a decade and prevents water beading on the surface. This minimizes dirt and water spots.
Homeowners who are looking for chic fully frameless fencing often believe that they can buy the various parts and complete the project on their own, or perhaps with the free help of a builder friend. In fact, the main cost of any installation project is actually the glass itself. The overall cost of any glass fencing project is more dependent upon the thickness and quality of the glass panels used than the quality of the labor. The quality of the fittings such as the mini post clamps that hold the glass is another major factor. A quality fence, excluding installation, could cost between $500 and $900 per meter as just a single clamp could cost $100. You will seriously regret choosing lower-quality glass or fittings as your fence wonât last as long.
If you have had the chance to get up close and personal with a completed glass fence, you may have seen how wobbly the glass panels can be. Families with kids are often concerned that this is a safety issue as even hand force can make the glass panels move in some cases. According to one supplier of frameless glass railings in Vancouver, 1.5mm movement each way is normal in some types of glass fences. They also point out that homeowners and the contractors are responsible for getting the correct permits for glass fences from the local government. Different areas of Canada have different rules about the height the fence is allowed to be above the ground and whether or not balustrades should be fitted.
Unlike wooden or metal fences, frameless glass fences typically require two post clamps per meter to hold the glass in place. Some homeowners believe that these clamps can promote water ingress that will rot decking faster than other types of fencing. According to the Homeowner Protection Office, a branch of BC housing, glass guardrails are fine for decking as long as they are fastened directly through the decking membrane to the horizontal surface of the balcony or deck. They suggest securing the posts to the vertical face of the decking to minimize water damage. They also highlight the importance of having the decking professionally cleaned and inspected once a year.
When you think of railings, what usually pops into your mind? Well, you are most likely thinking about metal railings. Metal has always been the most common material used for various railings in both commercial and residential establishments. Aside from that, there are also wooden railings which are more common in parks and other public places. But did you know that there are also glass railings as well?
Glass railings are what they sound to be â that is, they are mostly made out of glass. Some glass types are very clear while some are frosted. There are basically two types of metal railings â a framed and a frameless one. There is not really much difference between the two. Both are very durable and are aesthetically pleasing. Nevertheless, there are those who still want some lines to define the railings, and that is why they go for the framed ones. There are those who want a more unique and modern look and that is why they consider purchasing the frameless railings.
Basically, glass railings could serve as substitute to ordinary metal railings when it comes to usability. They could be installed anywhere where the presence of railings is essential. Balconies and patios are among the most common areas where glass railings are installed. There are also a lot of homes these days where glass railings are installed along the stair cases. These railings are also perfect for swimming pool areas. After all, railings could really help make swimming pool areas a lot safer especially if there are children in the household.
⢠Beauty â This one is pretty obvious. Glass railings offer a brand new and sophisticated look which is a lot different from the traditional railings that you usually see. It could really add modernity as well as class to any area of your home where you choose to install it.
⢠Easy cleaning â Another great thing about glass railings is that they are very easy to clean. Glass is very resistant to most stains and you only have to clean it with a soft and damp rug. In fact, for glass railings installed outdoors, you could simply rely on the rain to clean it.
⢠Value â Also, glass railings are great investments. They are very valuable and they could add more value to your home. Should you wish to sell your home in the future, you would be able to sell for a better price because of the presence of the glass railings.

If you are thinking of redoing your bathroom, one of the best ways to go about it would be to use shower enclosures instead of having a traditional setup. Shower enclosures are becoming more popular due to the fact that they are functional and in some cases very economical as well. If you are interested in installing one of these, itâs always important to keep a few things in mind in order to end up getting the best. Some of these issues include:
One of the best things about shower enclosures is that there is so much variety to choose from that you donât have to compromise as far as design is concerned. A particularly good idea you can consider is using shower enclosures made of frameless frosted glass. These look very chic, and can be used with any kind of bathroom design you decide to get. In addition to that, they give your bathroom this elegant feel that you canât get in most home bathrooms these days.
Most shower enclosures are designed in such a manner that they need to be cleaned after each time you use them in order to maintain their looks. To make this easy, itâs important that you choose a design that will be easy to clean so that you donât have a lot of problems doing this. A good idea would be to use enclosures that are as simple as possible. The fewer frills they have, the easier it would be for you to clean them, since usually means simply wiping them down for a few seconds after you are done showering.
One of the most attractive things about shower enclosures is that they can be designed in such a manner that they occupy as little space as possible. It is therefore a good idea to use them in scenarios where you might have space constraints, such as when you live in a small house. Even then, it would be a good idea to take a few extra measures to ensure that you utilize the space even more effectively. For instance, you could decide to get a custom made enclosure that snugly fits into one corner of the bathroom. These are not as expensive as many people think, but are functional and also save a lot of space.
When you are building a house and need to get such enclosures, you will find that itâs very easy to install them without much of a hassle. If you are doing bathroom remodelling, however, you need to be more careful. The fact that it might involve major changes in the plumbing and masonry within the room means that you need to work with contractors you can trust to avoid any long term problems after the installation.
