They have more than one feature which makes them a common man’s game. First, they are light, which means they do not demand a whole team, with you, to bring them from the store. And second, they are easy to install. Neither do they need framing prior to installation nor are they particular to the dryness or wetness of installing area. In addition they are easy to mount and are flexible with respect to being installed prior or after tiling. This means all that you have to do is mount them, place mortar mix (sand & cement), and tile as desired.

But do take care of the quality of the ready to tile shower recessed shelves. Low quality recessed shelves have cellulose or wood fibers and thus, are not water proof. They can rot and corrode and have a short life. One the other hand, high quality recessed shelves are made of corrosion resistant materials, with obviously, no hint of wood or cellulose. Once you fix them, you can rest assured to have long years of lazy showers with a contribution from these shelves by your side.

To help you in your lazy showers, there are another kind of shelves too-corner shower shelves. For many people, they come before the recessed shelves, in the choice for shower shelves. Fortunately, now they are available in the ready to tile form too. You can find them in all colors, designs and sizes at your nearby ready to tile bathroom fixtures store. But again, do take care of the quality. Given their constant exposure to water, they must be water resistant and corrosion free.

You can use bathroom accessories to add a touch of elegance to your bathroom. One accessory that is a must for your space is the bathroom shelf. Bathroom shelves are not only items of great utility, but also have aesthetic value.  They can be used to store cosmetics, hold appliances and stack towels.  Bathroom shelves are simply perfect for providing upright storage in a small bathroom with limited floor space.

If you have installed a shower vanity in your bathroom, shower shelves is what you need to hold essential cosmetic items without making the place look crowded.

Although shower shelves are available in different materials including wood, metal, and plastic, glass shelves could be an ideal choice to make your bathroom look less crowded and larger.  In addition, glass shelves come at a reasonable price and also can be installed easily.  Besides, glass shelves are also popular for being naturally corrosion resistant.

The choice of tempered glass shower shelves will depend upon your storage needs and the weight bearing capacity of the shelves. It is always advisable to go for glass shelves with more weight bearing capacity for the simple reason that your storage needs may increase over time.   The capacity of a glass shelf to bear load is determined by its thickness and the method of installation.  Some manufacturers also offer tempered glass shelves.  These are made hard especially by heat treatment.  These shelves can be chosen if you want your bathroom shelves to bear greater load.

Tempered glass shelves come with 2 sided bullnosed finish polished edge and two brackets. These shelves can be installed in just a few seconds using the tracking style. In this type of installation, you need to screw long metal vertical strips on studs down the wall, insert metal brackets (wood brackets are also available) at the desired heights and then lay your glass shelf across the brackets. You can also easily change the height of the shelves along the strip to accommodate taller items, if required in the future.  Although two parallel metal strips are used in this type of installation, a third strip may be needed for additional support if you have chosen a heavy glass shelf. It is important to note that if you cannot find a stud for all brackets, you may use a molly screw for the central bracket. While choosing glass shelves for your bathroom, do not forget to check for the maximum recommended weight they can bear.

Tempered glass shelves can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your bathroom. This is because they are available in many finishes:  brass, brushed nickel, satin chrome, and chrome.  When it comes to shapes available in tempered glass shelves, you may go for the popular quarter round or triangle shaped shelves. So, you may choose a finish and shape that best complements the overall decor of your bathroom.

So, by simply making a few additions to your bathroom, you can not only give it a more organized look, but also enhance its overall appeal.
