Angled Cape Cod Shower in Adamstown

Posted on by Emily Watkins

Shower Door of the Week: Angled Cape Cod Unit in Adamstown, Maryland

Angled bathroom ceiling? No worries! Unique angles need custom solutions, and that’s what your local experts are here for! If you’re just starting out on your renovation journey, this kind of angled ceiling is also known as a Cape Cod. For our purposes, any shower door that needs a corner sliced off to make it work is also considered a Cape Cod unit. So while doing your research you might see the terms angled, sloped, slanted, or Cape Cod. Whatever you call it, after the initial free quote, we will come to your home or business to take an exact measurement of your enclosure. That’s the part where we get to use lasers! We ❤️ our jobs.

Other design notes? We supplied and installed the 10″ corner shelf. Glass shelves are great for extra storage that doesn’t clutter up the clean lines of your enclosure. These clients also upgraded their pull handle to our ornate Symphony style. The hardware is all chrome, which pairs well with the light hues of the tile and paint. In general, this unit hits a really sweet spot between vintage and modern design.

What do YOU think about this design? We live for feedback, so let us know on Facebook and/or Instagram. Or stop on by the showroom for a chat! We’re in Jefferson, Maryland and enjoy meeting new people. Tell them Expert Emily sent you and ask for a free rubber ducky!

Full Height & Full Heart in Rockville, Maryland

Shower Door of the Week: Full Height Door-and-Panel in Rockville, Maryland

We went to great lengths to get this door installed. Eh? Eh? 😂 Well, technically, we went to great heights. This full height corner door-and-panel unit is a perfect match for the rain shower head. It won’t let any water escape, but there’s still plenty of space at the top for ventilation. How do we keep so much glass sturdy? Full height corner units require two clamps, one toward the top and another near the bottom. It really is amazing what you can do with frameless glass and clamps!

Design notes: these clients opted for a standard handle and chrome hardware. That makes sense for a design where the shower, not the hardware, is making the statement. (We dig that eastern blue tile!) They also wanted a 10″ shelf in the corner. Yes, we do shelves! And, as you can see, the shelf passed our rigorous durability test. It easily withstands the massive weight of our complimentary rubber ducky. Yes, you will get a ducky if you purchase a shower! And next week you can get a free rubber ducky just for starting a free quote! Just email Emmarose at office@showerdoorexperts with the rough dimensions of your shower and the code LIFEQUACKS. (We will NOT put you on a mailing list, promise.) For now here’s a free coloring sheet:

For more fun and bonus shower pics, head on over to Facebook or Instagram! And even if you’re not ready for a free quote, you can always get in touch with questions. We love to chat.

A Tale of Two Maryland Showers

Posted on by Emily Watkins

Shower Door(s) of the Week: Minimalist v. Cozy in Maryland

We couldn’t decide which of these custom showers to feature this week, so why not both? About the only thing they have in common is that they’re both in Maryland and keep water off the bathroom floor…

Spray Panel

In corner one we have a spray panel straight from Kensington, Maryland with clean minimalist lines. Expert Schuyler notes that it almost looks like a fancy hotel shower. The spray panel has just two wall clips and a channel along the bottom that secure the glass in place. The bench completes the almost industrial look. Does this design speak to you? Or are you more of a…

Panel-Door-Panel

In the other corner we have a cozy panel-door-panel from New Market, Maryland. The door hinges are glass-to-glass, placed at the very top and bottom of the door so the customers doesn’t get a face full of hinge first thing in the morning. And don’t let the pink and flowers fool you: this isn’t your grandma’s shower. (Or else it is, and your grandma is super hip!) Older showers might have a lot of metal around the edges. Also known as “framed,” in the biz. Frameless showers are more modern, stylish, and let in lots of light.

Also of note: the duel benches are a nice touch. It’s always handy to have space for your bottles and a spot to shave your legs. (This observation brought to you by Expert Emily.) Or just sit and ponder for awhile. You can see that the benches are angled so water doesn’t accumulate on them. This kind of design feature is why it’s so darn cool to get a custom shower door. You can design your dream shower, and we’ll make the glass work!

We’d love to hear your take on either or both of these shower designs! We’re always hanging out on Facebook and posting showers and fun pics on Instagram. (Send us a message in either place with the code SHOWERTHOUGHTS for a free rubber ducky!) Also waiting by the computer and phone to answer your questions or start a free quote.

Schuyler and Emmarose await your call!
