Cleaning of glass shower cabins and guidelines for buying
If you plan to install a glass shower door or glass partition in the bathroom to separate the part for bath from the rest of space, you are probably wondering if you have taken into account all the advantages and disadvantages.
Take a look at the guidelines for buying this type of partition that we have prepared for you, as well as how to maintain this type of glass.
Advantages:
– Beautiful and elegant look, easily fits into any style of decoration.
– The bathroom looks bigger due to the transparency of the glass.
– More space in the shower by choosing the dimensions
– This is a special type of glass intended for use in bathrooms and the possibility of breaking is minimized.

– Cleaning is a bigger problem if you still haven’t found an easy system for maintaining glass surfaces from limescale and other dirtiness. To solve this potential headache we suggest to read the paragraph below.
Guidelines for buying glass shower cabins:
You should definitely invest in “Anti plaque system” when buying because the maintenance of such surfaces is quite easy.
If you choose the transparent glass, pay attention that neighbors cannot see you through the window J
If you are buying the blurred glass, you need to know that its rougher part will be harder to clean.
If the sink is placed near the glass partition, the glass will be more often dirty than you can imagine. The solution for this issue could be colored or blurred glass (maybe with thicker or thinner stripes).
Height of glass needs to be less than ceiling height. It is necessary to allow air circulation since the accumulation of steam will lead to accumulation of bacteria.
Maintenance of glass surfaces of shower cabins:
If you want your glass to be clean every day:
After showering you need to wipe the glass with a rubber wiper while the glass is still wet. There is also a variant with wiping wet glass with a sponge and a little shampoo / liquid soap.
Heavily dirty glasses can be cleaned well with special shower cleaners.
In case you have an Anti plaque system we recommend you not to use anything other than shopping assistant told you, and that you do not use abrasive or mechanical liquids which can damage and cause the peeling of protection surface – anti plaque foil.
As with everything else, relatively frequent maintenance makes it easier to remove new dirt.
