If you are like most homeowners, a bathroom remodel project will simply bring on a trip to the local home improvement store to pick out a pre-built shower stall. However, this is not the only option you have. There are actually contractors who can help you create a custom shower enclosure made from glass. You may think that having the shower enclosure custom made is an unnecessary expense, but there are some pretty good reasons why this could be a more logical option. Take a look at these three reasons why custom shower enclosures are a beneficial option to have around during a bathroom remodeling project. 

1. Expand the size and shape of the shower easily. 

Large showers are all the rage in modern home design. However, you can barely find anything pre-built to coincide at a local hardware store if you want a larger shower shape. By going with a custom-designed shower enclosure, those limitations that would normally limit you to using only a small space for a shower are removed. You can easily create a massive shower area with seating and enough room for two if you prefer. 

2. Automatically give your bathroom a unique look.

The shower area is often disregarded in a bathroom remodel, but the shower is one of the most noteworthy features in the entire room. If the shower area is unique with a custom enclosure which is not standard and plain in shape and style, it automatically gives your bathroom a different appeal. You can create everything from shower areas with octagonal shapes to large shower areas. 

3. Boost the overall value of your home. 

If there is one room in the house that buyers are most interested to see when they come inside, it is the bathroom. The bathroom should be clean, well-designed, and modernized to be the most valuable. However, if you have went through the process of having custom shower enclosures designed and installed, your bathrooms offer something unique in function and aesthetics, which will automatically mean your home could be worth more money if you decide to sell. 

At the end of the day, a bathroom remodel project can be a lot more fun if there is some room for creativity and that is just what you get with custom shower enclosures. Talk to a shower or glass contractor like Ridge Glass & Mirror to find out more about custom shower enclosures for your home.
