Glass is increasingly being used as a room divider as in the bathroom. Visually, the glass can provide a broad effect on the shower.
However, the use of glass in the bathroom could be a problem if you have the wrong place. Precisely dew could stick to the glass, and could eventually make the glass becomes opaque. For that, these 5 things to consider when having a glass partition in the bathroom:
1. Use tempered glass
Glass This type of glass is the most secure, because it has better elasticity than ordinary glass. The use of tempered glass may reduce the risk of injury if the glass is broken. When broken, tempered glass will spilled into tiny droplets that are relatively more secure than ordinary pieces of broken glass.
2. Customize the dimensions and thickness
Glass thickness of 8 mm is still safe to use in the area of 2 m2. For bathrooms, open-plan dimensions measuring 1.2 m x 2 m can take advantage of the glass 10 mm.
3. Insulation glass in the shower area
Insulation glass shower area should not be placed on the AC line. This is to prevent excess moisture during use, especially if frequent use of hot water in the shower area.
4. Clean every day
The remaining vapor is often stuck to the glass and make a run, so regularly clean the glass partition.
5. Shrinkage and expansion
Glass not often exposed to hot and cold water alternately. Expansion of the drastic shrinkage of glass can cause the glass to break.
