Why a Glass Enclosure Above Your Bathtub Is the Upgrade Your Bathroom Needs
Dear Roble Glass & Railings readers,
If you’re planning a bathroom renovation or want to refresh your space, one upgrade that’s gaining popularity in Canadian homes is a glass enclosure above the bathtub. This sleek, modern feature combines the elegance of glass with the practicality of a shower door, transforming your bathroom into a more functional and stylish space.
The Evolution of Shower Enclosures: From Curtains to Glass
Let’s explore why more homeowners are switching from shower curtains to glass enclosures—and why it might be the right move for your bathroom, too.
A Sleek, Modern Look
Glass enclosures instantly elevate the look of any bathroom. Their clean lines and transparent design create a more open and airy feel, even in smaller spaces.
Benefits:
- Enhances natural light flow
- Makes the bathroom appear larger
- Pairs well with modern or minimalist designs
Whether you choose frameless or semi-frameless glass, the result is a contemporary aesthetic that’s hard to beat.

Say Goodbye to Shower Curtains
Shower curtains may be budget-friendly, but they have drawbacks: mildew buildup, water leaks, and a cluttered look. Glass enclosures offer a cleaner, more hygienic alternative.
With a glass enclosure, you get:
- Easier maintenance (just a quick squeegee or wipe)
- Better water containment—no puddles on the floor
- A permanent, durable solution
Plus, no more replacing stained or outdated curtains every year.

Ideal for Combo Tub-Shower Setups
Many Canadian homes feature bathtub-shower combinations, especially in family bathrooms or condos. A glass enclosure is a smart way to get the best of both worlds.
