The wife wants to install glass instead of a curtain in the bathroom. 5 reasons why I'm AGAINST!
Oh, these newfangled design solutions! Of course, many of them take root. I do not argue that they often look aesthetically pleasing. But often all this aesthetics ends in the first weeks of use.
Women especially follow design trends. That's my wife!
"Come on," - he says - "replace this wretched curtain in the bathroom?"
"Ofcourse honey! Find a new one and buy it! "
But no! It turns out the glass needs to be installed! Well, ok, looked, read, offered to discuss. Several days in the process of negotiations. I give her reasons, she told me "I want her own resentment"))
But I already have at least 5 reasons why the "old-fashioned bath curtain" is much better than the new-fashioned glass!So!
OLD CURTAIN & NEW FASHION GLASS
Advantages of a glass partition:
- looks stylish, modern,
- perfectly protects the bathroom from splashes,
- more hygienic than fabric or polyethylene curtains,
- variety of designs and patterns.
At first glance, I would like to say that this is the perfect solution for the bathroom! But against the background of the pluses, there are several problems that glass partitions will deliver.
Cons of glass bathroom partitions:
1. Difficulty leaving. Hard water, handprints, splashes, stains, limescale, etc. All of this will remain on the glass. All of this will be very noticeable and ruin all the much-coveted beauty of the bathroom. Plaque will appear quickly. It is especially difficult to remove it near the guides, and in those places where the sliding elements of the glass curtains overlap. The plaque gives the impression of a permanent dirty state of the curtains, even if they have recently been thoroughly washed. Glass is not practical at all! Even if now it seems to you that washing it every day is not difficult, believe me, it just seems to you! You will rub, rub, and plaque will still appear.
2. Glass limits space. On the one hand, this is not bad. After all, there is a clear zoning of two zones. But, if the bathroom is small, then this is automatically equated to a lack of space. The usual curtain can be pushed aside, and now there is room for you! Glass, on the other hand, will not let you wave your hand or turn around - you will hit all the time. And get annoyed)
3. The glass partition is static. You will not change it with every desire. It cannot be washed quickly or thrown away. It lasts for years. “How tired I am of her! I'm tired of this glass ”- all this will not work here.
4. The price and complexity of installation are not minuses, but these characteristics do not delight either. Considering that even such a modern and cool bathroom detail will still want to change. Installation is not easy. If you call the installer, you need to do everything clearly. Otherwise, skewed glass will ruin the whole look.
5. Sliding partitions, accordion curtains - think again. The fasteners will loosen and start to seize. Accs in general, as a rule, stick out from the bath. These are eternal scratches, bruises, damage.
I'm 100% sure that most people want to replace a regular curtain with glass. Think about it! It's not worth it!
