In modern times, there are different types of shower wallsto choose from. The latest craze is to go for the ones which are made out of pure granite. They look just too gorgeous! These walls are surprisingly simple to clean and you hardly need to invest fortunes in maintaining them. If you're building a house or remodeling your bath room, pay close attention to what you want your shower walls to look like - since you're going to be in the shower often, they might as well look and feel good!

Though looks delicate, granite walls can be cleaned if you just immerse a piece of sponge into some lukewarm water and gently rub the walls. For those who prefer not to deal with sponge, a soft piece of cloth is also good, since this is likely to prove equally effective. But when it comes to delicate surfaces like granite, it’s better not to use bleach or something like that, since this might damage the wall surface along with its original luster. Using the wrong (to harsh – to be specific) material on delicate shower walls won’t damage the material’s strength and durability, but might harm the original looks and elegance of it.

Fortunately, granite walls are unbelievably durable. Sometimes, it’ll seem like nothing will even be able to damage them. By nature, granite is among the toughest material found in the whole world. For cutting granite, you will need to use diamond saws – you get the picture, right? Fortunately, easy breaking is not an issue to worry about when it comes to granite walls as they are superbly strong. And not to mention the original blush and beauty your bathroom environment will get with granite shower walls.

But granite shower walls are just an example of how elegant shower wall materials can get in terms of performance and styling. Now let’s get back to the generalized discussion on shower walls. You can also add a glass look to your bathroom or shower environment. We will now see how you can choose the perfect end, angle or curve of glass blocks to bring some unique looks to your bathroom décor.

Shower Walls Looks

You can use units with bullnose finished end while creating purely all-glass look to your shower or bathroom partition wall. Usually, glass finishing units can prove superb to finish your wall ends and are generally available in three sizes, namely - 6"x8"x4", 8"x8"x4" and 8"x8"x3 1/8". Nevertheless, you can also go for 4-inch series blocks that come in numerous patterns - clear, colored and frosted ones are just a few. The 6"x8"x4" size will works fine for the curved glass shower walls where the shower depth is limited. Nevertheless, the 3 1/8-inch thickness units can be also excellent fit when it comes to minimizing project costs on straight wall applications; as such thinner units cost less.

However, if you are using curved blocks, this means you have chosen an option to cost effectively make your curved glass wall. As the block’s face is larger at the front, compared to what it is at the back, this means you at in a position to create a radius or a round shaped wall and you’ll get away with using no large grout joints at the rear and smaller ones at the back. Then again, curved up Arque units have front face measuring 6"x8"x4" and every one of those units will makes a 22.5 degree turn (so when you’re using four of those units you'll have the privilege of completing 90 degree turns). These blocks come in 2 different patterns as well as multicolored or frosted designs. Generally, you see such curved walls in typical walk in showers or partition walls.

But when should you be using double end units? These units make more sense when you’re planning to construct a rather straight looking shower partition wall and/or half wall featuring a beautiful step down design. In such cases, all-glass double end units are the most suited option if you want to add a complete look. But such blocks come only in 8"x8"x4" dimensions in Decora, Wave, Icescapes or Iceberg patterns. But when you're looking forward to crafting stair stepped walls, you should go for the 8"x8" sizes. You can find colored, frosted as well as etched selections that you can choose from while master minding your shower walls.
