If you want an expansive spa shower or need a smaller corner walk-in, a frameless glass shower door can be made to fit either scenario.![IMG_4613](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_4613.jpg?width=267&height=400&name=IMG_4613.jpg) 2. **Allow the flow of light. **The bathroom is one of those areas where light flow is pretty important in performing your daily routine.  When you are in a dark shower it can make finding the shampoo, soap, and razors a bit difficult. With a frameless glass shower door, natural and artificial light can flow into the space to help improve visibility.![IMG_5560](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_5560.jpg?width=267&height=400&name=IMG_5560.jpg) 3. **Makes a space feel larger.**Shower curtains and sliding shower doors can cut off your sight lines, whereas glass will allow your eye to see into the shower space, creating a sense that the room is larger. If you have a smaller bathroom, a glass door is the way to go.![IMG_1273](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_1273.jpg?width=267&height=400&name=IMG_1273.jpg) 4. **Less chance of mold build-up. **Since a frameless glass door has no seals around it, there’s no place for water and soap to gather and build-up.  ![IMG_3331](https://www.thompsonremodeling.com/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_3331.jpg?width=267&height=400&name=IMG_3331.jpg) 5. **Easier to clean.**The bathroom is generally not a favorite place to clean and showers and bathtubs can be particularly cumbersome. With a frameless glass door, you can squeegee the door and typically get in and out easier to clean the floor and walls.
