We're excited to have Truly Frameless Shower Doors joining us at the 2016 Home + Remodeling Show. This locally operated business provides premiere truly frameless glass shower doors in Northern Virginia and the surrounding areas.


Founded on a need to provide homes with frameless shower doors that would not take over the bathroom or shower, obstructing the view of aesthetically pleasing elements such as tile work, wood, glasswork, and customized fixtures, Truly Frameless Shower Doors has been serving homeowners for almost a decade.

Learn more about this revolutionary product when you visit the Truly Frameless Doors team in Booth 1305 at the Home + Remodeling Show. Can't wait that long? Enjoy our brief interview with them below!

Please describe your products.

"If you’re looking for frameless shower doors in Virginia, the experts at Truly Frameless are here to help. A frameless shower provides several advantages you should consider for your home. Eliminating the metal clips, aluminum channels, and silicon associated with other methods of installing the glass, our system gets rid of unwanted silicon mold and mildew commonly associated with their use, and provides for a stronger and more aesthetically pleasing frameless shower enclosure. A frameless or glass shower enclosure also will not obstruct your family and guests’ view of all the hard work you put into your bathroom, such as tile and woodwork, glasswork, and other decorative touches. Additionally, frameless shower doors and enclosures are easier to manipulate than their enclosed counterparts. This reduces or even eliminates slips, falls, and other shower-related mishaps. Amazingly, although our product looks more luxurious, the cost is similar to the other 'frameless' shower enclosures."

What are your best tips for homeowners this season?

"Please do not use ammonia based products on glass. Stayfree glass cleaner is most recommended."

What is the strangest client request you've ever received?

"We were requested to complete a shower enclosure that was completely round."

What's your favorite part about the Home + Remodeling Show?

"Reaching out to new people and explaining how our product is different than what anyone else is offering."

Is there anything else you think folks should know about your company?

"Truly Frameless is partnered with HB Services to handle all you remodeling needs."

The Home + Remodeling Show is on at the Dulles Expo Center January 22-24, 2016. Hundreds of home improvement experts will gather, ready to give guests advice, tips, and inspiration for their homes. Plus guests can see Bravo star Jeff Lewis!

This month we’ve been on a quest to provide simple tips, tricks, and ideas to help you spring clean smarter. Although we have already outlined some best practices and often-missed spots for cleaning, there’s a lot more info coming your way. In the next few weeks we’ll be discussing methods for organizing and maintaining your home more effectively. But for now, while you’re in the thick of your most tedious spring cleaning chores, we thought it was the perfect opportunity to share with you some household cleaning hacks.

Showerhead Hack – Not sure how to clean your showerhead without unscrewing it or doing some seriously awkward scrubbing and reaching? Don’t worry. The folks at Wonderful Engineering have hacked this chore; all you need is vinegar, a plastic bag, and a little patience.


Shower Spray Hack – Ok, so we’ve yet to find a five minute deep clean hack for showers (that’s wizardry), but we did find a cheap and effective way to keep your shower clean. Once your shower has had a good scrub, use this homemade shower spray after every shower you take. It’s simple and inexpensive to make (there are only three ingredients) and it’ll help your scrubbing go a long way.

Pillow Hack – Think you can’t clean your pillows? Think again. It’s as easy as turning on the washing machine. One Good Thing hacked this important chore so you can get your comfy cushions back in great condition.

Vacuum Hack – Don’t have one of those fancy vacuum attachments? Don’t worry. A toilet paper roll will work just as well. Save yourself some cash and clean all the hard to reach spots in your home.

Cord Organizing Hack – Toilet paper rolls also work well for keeping cords untangled and organized!  
Hard To Reach Hack – Have you ever tried getting the dust and crumbs trapped in between your keyboard keys or car vents? Those spots used to be pretty well impossible to get clean...until now! This cleaning slime, (yes, we know it sounds like an oxymoron), is your new best friend! Simply Living Smart will show you how to make it and the best spots to use it.


Furniture Hack – Over the years your furniture can see some wear and tear. If you’ve got dings on your wooden pieces, buff them out using walnuts! (Seriously!)


Fix It Hack – While we’re on the subject of fixing things, did you know there’s a website that will give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to fix something you’ve broken? So if you get a little over zealous during your spring cleaning and break something, the Fix It Club has got you covered!

Hammer Hack – Should any of your fixes or chores involve a hammer and nails, we’ve got the ultimate hack to share with you.  Instead of holding the your soon-to-be-hammered nails in your mouth as you line everything up (gross and a little dangerous), simply glue a magnet to the bottom of your hammer and keep your nails there! What a genius idea!


We hope these simple hacks help you through your spring cleaning chores. Are there helpful hacks that you think we should know about? Tweet @HomeShows your favorite home improvement and cleaning hacks – we want to hear from you!

Although most people are of the opinion that only teenage girls spend a lot of time in the bathroom, when you think about it, we all do. It’s one of the first rooms we visit when we wake up, and the last we see before we go to bed. It’s where we give ourselves pep talks, sing our hearts out, and unwind when the world has been especially cruel. We do our bathing, shaving, makeup, hair, and more in there. So it makes sense that it’s one of the spaces that homeowners most commonly renovate. People want to feel comfortable in their bathrooms. But what appeals to one person might not necessarily work for another.

Of the choices below, which do you think is the more luxurious bathroom? Do you like Option A’s spa-inspired scarsity? Or do you prefer Option B’s more practical aesthetic?

Option B

Our Choice:


This “this or that” ultimately boils down to the age old battle between function and fashion. Both bathrooms are very nice, but Option A is truly a work of art. We love everything in this gorgeous bathroom, but we can’t help noticing what’s missing: storage. There’s a lovely soaker tub and a serene standing shower, but there’s no place to put your stuff. Option B may be smaller and less impressive, but it’s far more practical. For us, when it comes to the bathroom we definitely choose function – we’ll always make it as fashionable as possible, but there’s got to be space for all our stuff or it’s not the right bathroom design for us.

Our choice was based on need – we’ve got to have lots of storage in our bathroom. Aside from the essentials, what do you absolutely have to have in your bathroom? What would your dream bathroom be like? Let us know below!
