Erin Sander The expense of a frameless shower enclosure depends on the size of the bathroom and the design (ie. if you want a partition or fully enclosed wall, the thickness of the glass, single door or a double door, etc) Frameless shower enclosures tend to be custom or semi-custom and therefore more expensive than prefabricated framed shower enclosures. Design and expense constraints often go hand in hand. Frameless shower enclosures by nature, visually create a larger space. This can present an opportunity to downsize another aspect of the design if needed.
while this is much grander than I envision, I love the size and how again the shower does not stick out into the room by itself...even if the shower wall facing the tub here was a full wall and the closet was where the tub is, I like the idea of the shower being tucked away but still huge
