\t\t\t\tBig fans of glass and mirrors. We absolutely love the way intelligent use of glass can add a modern twist to a traditional design.<\/p>\n

Mirrors, on the other hand, can open up a room and provide convenient stop checks for lipstick on teeth without darting to the ladies.<\/p>\n

The other huge advantage of glass in our glorious part of the world is how it creates a structure which blends the outdoors with the indoors. How we love the ability to sit on the lounge and still feel like we\u2019re outside because our\u00a0stunning windows allow the beauty and happiness of the sun filled back yard to blend with the indoors.<\/p>\n

Now that we\u2019ve established we’re fans of \u2018well placed\u2019 mirrors and sheets of glass in our home, let\u2019s move on… Whose bright idea was it to make shower doors clear glass? If soap stained filth doesn\u2019t bother you then go for clear glass but you’ll never find this in a Manasons home. Glass should go in areas where it is not touched regularly and doesn\u2019t have soap, shampoo and conditioner splashed on it daily. It\u2019s hard enough to clean windows on a regular basis but shower doors?<\/p>\n

Why is this so common? Is it because it\u2019s easy to fill a corner or perhaps because it\u2019s inexpensive? Possibly to have the bathroom look bigger? Yes it can look pretty when it\u2019s never been used but with regular daily traffic, to us it just doesn\u2019t work. Friends of ours had a house with the ultimate combination – a shower with glass doors and a mirrored wall inside the shower. Not only do you get the joy of cleaning the glass, but you also get the pleasure of seeing your reflection while you\u2019re showering, with the added bonus of cleaning that as well. We prefer the tiled, walk in shower with no door but done in a way where it\u2019s around a corner or has a post in front of it.<\/p>\n

This way, you can have a shower and if one of the kids comes in or your significant other is in the room, you still maintain some dignity (possibly why clear glass doors on toilets aren\u2019t so popular).<\/p>\n

Having lived in many houses with glass shower doors, we can confirm it\u2019s virtually impossible to keep that glass clean unless you commit to drying it every time it\u2019s used which simply isn\u2019t practical.\u00a0 Alternatively, you can stick to the traditional cleaners or others which claim to create a protective film so water beads off. \u00a0Our pick is simply to avoid them.\u00a0 Yes to big windows which bring the outdoors in (and can be washed once or twice a year) and yes to balustrades which generally don\u2019t get touched unless you have sticky little hands around but a firm NO to glass shower doors.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
