Is ShowerGuard a worthwhile option to consider for a frameless shower enclosure in our new master bathroom?
We are about to finish a major remodel of our home and will be adding a frame-less shower enclosure in the new master bathroom. The shower glass company recommends the ShowerGuard option, which is an upgrade option that protects the glass from the corrosive effects of hard water and soap, supposedly to vastly minimize spotting and other negative effects that occur over time to the once-pristine glass.
They quoted an additional cost of $12/square foot which would come to $500-$600. I’d rather not spend this if it is not worthwhile.
I would appreciate feedback from those of you who have Showerguard, especially for several years or more.
Do you have a water softener? If not, get one, it’s going to cost you about the same as this upgrade, but you will notice a big difference in your water when showering and in how clean your clothes come in the laundry. I never heard of soap being corrosive to glass. Water will leave mineral deposits on glass, and make it look bad, but the water softener will prevent that.
