A bathtub is great for bathing infants and toddlers in. You can fill a bathtub with minimal water to ensure they're safe and bathe them. They're also great if you want a long soak after a hard day's work. However, not everyone has kids, or their children have moved-out. And, for everyday personal bathing, most of us prefer a quick shower over soaking in a tub before we rush off to work. What's more, filling a bathtub with water using more water than taking a shower.

Bathtubs are dangerous, though. It's easy to slip and fall when stepping over the wet walls of a bathtub. Shower curtains are notoriously difficult to clean. And, they often get damaged when taking them down to clean. Most people replace their shower curtain very year. Although they're not expensive, this is a waste and they often end-up in the landfill. A shower curtain also hides the beautiful tile work in your shower. You spent money on that tile and design. Let it be seen. Lastly, a shower curtain makes your bathroom smaller.

A framed or frameless shower enclosure, on the other hand, lets you show-off the gorgeous tile that's in your shower. Because clean glass is used, they also make your bathroom appear larger.
