What's universal design and how does it relate to frameless glass showers?

Universal design is a broad home design concept that strives to make sure everyone can fully function in the home, regardless of size, age, ability or changing needs -- and universal design emphasizes safety, just like we do at Dulles Glass and Mirror.

To bring universal design into your bathroom, you'll be looking at designing a walk-in shower. And there's a definite trend here to make these showers big, but it's not necessary.

Experts recommend a minimum walk-in shower of 3 feet by 3 feet.

For privacy and to control water spray, a shower screen is installed. The glass can be frosted or patterned to preserve and embellish natural light, or it can be tinted.

If you're trying to refit an existing bathroom that can't be expanded, consider removing the bathtub and using this area for a walk-in shower.
