The ROI of Upgrading to Frameless Shower Doors in Your Home

Upgrading to frameless shower doors in your home can potentially be a sound financial investment. Although ROI depends on your current housing market, it can potentially range from 30% to over 100%. If you’re deciding whether upgrading to frameless shower doors is right for you, consider first what they can bring to your home.

What Frameless Shower Doors Bring to a Bathroom 

Looking for an up-to-date feel, or perhaps something a bit more light and roomy? Installing a frameless shower door enclosure could be right for you.

Frameless shower doors are made of clear glass, and without the harsh or bulky lines of traditional framed shower doors. The lack of frame provides minimal aesthetic segmentation, allowing for visual continuity to your space, giving the illusion that it's larger than it really is. This is especially a perk for small bathrooms. 

This style of glass shower doors can complement most bathroom designs and themes. From a modern or contemporary look, to something more vintage chic, frameless glass shower doors can accentuate them all. The style you’re going for can be further integrated into the hardware you choose for the enclosure, and even the style of tile chosen as a backdrop. 

Frameless Glass Shower Doors Can Increase the Value of Your Home 

Did you know that you can increase the value of your home, all by installing glass shower doors? With glass shower doors and glass enclosures being a sought after feature amongst current home buyers, it’s likely to draw more appeal to your home. 

Real estate agents across various markets and home buying platforms have witnessed that homes with updated showers tend to have more clicks and engagements. More clicks and engagements on your listing can increase the chances of selling your home at a price and time that you prefer. 

Of course, a bathroom overhaul is not a guarantee of value increase, though it can be a good asset. It’s important that the basic home improvement needs are met before doing a remodel. If your roof is due for replacement, windows are drafty, and plumbing needs work, it’s unlikely that even the most beautiful bathroom will override these maintenance issues. It’s recommended to ensure that your home is structurally sound and up to code first before investing in an updated shower. 

Other Bathroom Improvements to go with Glass Shower Enclosures 

When it comes to bathroom improvements, you can do them little by little or during the same time as other improvements. There are several bathroom improvements that can accentuate a new glass shower enclosure and provide beautiful photos for home listings:

• Update bathroom fixtures: Consider the style of your glass shower door and install up-to-date bathroom fixtures that complement this style.
• Swap your tub for a walk-in shower: Due to the faster pace of life and desire to minimize cleaning, many people are opting for walk-in showers over traditional bathtubs.  
• Install barn-door style shower doors to save space: For spaces that can’t comfortably support an arc opening of a shower door, barn-style shower doors are a stylish space saving option.

Maintenance and Longevity - Frameless Doors as an Investment 

Frameless shower doors aren’t all style and no substance. They’re an investment in the overall maintenance and longevity of your shower and bathroom. 

Since these types of doors and enclosures are frameless by nature, you can enjoy the benefits of a cleaner and fresher shower – and bathroom too! Avoid that mildewy smell and minimize buildup in your shower. Showers that have frames can accumulate moisture and buildup from minerals or shower products around the frames and the base of the shower. This typically leads to unsightly residues.

Glass shower doors without frames are smooth and allow the water in your shower to travel right to the drain, minimize cleanup, build up, and off putting odors. 

The durable glass is easy to maintain and many basic maintenance tasks can be completed at home, although you can always consult us at Wise Glass LLC to see if a professional is needed. 

Cost vs. Return on Investment (ROI) 

You might be wondering, is a frameless shower door worth it? Although that’s entirely a personal choice, it’s important to think about the cost vs return on investment (ROI). 

If you have a specific vision in mind and are willing to fund it regardless of the cost, the aesthetic payoff and durability is priceless. 

For those wanting to include frameless shower doors as part of a remodel to sell and want to increase their home’s value, give careful consideration to the overall cost of your project. Frameless shower enclosures can range in price from affordable to the most luxurious depending on your style. When wanting to maximize your home selling profits, it’s best to plan your project’s cost around that goal.

When it comes to longevity and durability, frameless shower doors have a substantial ROI and their beautiful appearance can pay dividends for years to come.
