Shower Styles Basics

Next, we're going to go over some of the basic choices you'll need to decide on for your new Shower style!


Standard glass thickness utilized for our shower doors is in 3/8-inch glass. For taller or wider showers, we recommend 1/2-inch glass for stability and strength. All of our shower doors are made from tempered glass, designed with your long-term safety in mind. In the unlikely scenario where your shower does shatter, tempered glass is designed to fracture into large and easily seen pieces, resulting in a safer clean-up experience and lower chances of injury. 

Framed Shower Doors don’t need thicker glass or specialty hardware to make them stable, which can often lead to them being much more affordable than frame-less showers. On the other hand, Framed Showers can sometimes create a more claustrophobic feeling and break-up sight lines that are valued in a open-concept bathroom design.


Below, we've listed out some different Shower Door Options: 


Bypass/Sliding Doors: Bypass doors slide past one another, rather than out. This reduces the space you need for your shower and can help you make the most of a long and narrow shower nook.

Pivot Doors: Just like a traditional door, pivot doors swing outward. We also offer dual-opening hinge doors that can open both in and out. These are a great option for larger bathrooms.

Inline: Doors Like pivot doors, inline doors operate with a hinge. They swing open like a normal door. But unlike traditional doors, you can set inline shower doors flush with other large glass panels for a more seamless style.

Semi-Frame-less Doors: Get the open look of frame-less shower doors for less with semi frame-less options. These typically have inline doors and minimal framing with large glass panes.

Specialty Doors: Make your bathroom unique with our specialty showers. Choose from arc or bow front doors to add gentle curves to your space. You can also add interest in a larger bathroom with unique metalwork designs.


Benefits of a Frame-Less Shower Design:

  1. Showcase intricate tile or marble, as well as shower accessories like rain shower heads or benches.
  2. Provides clearer sight-lines, resulting in a more open feeling for the bathroom.
  3. Frame-less showers are easier to clean than framed options, with fewer nooks and crannies to manage.
  4. Provide better ease-of-access, especially for those with accessibility issues.
  5. In most cases, frame-less showers add a modern appearance.

Metal Finishes, Knobs & Accessories:

Finally, you’ll also be able to customize all of the hardware and accessories for your new glass door. Pick your favorite finish and style for your:

  • Knobs and handles.
  • Bases and curbs.
  • Insets and other custom add-on items.

Glass Treatments:

EnduroShield:

EnduroShield is an easy clean treatment that creates an ultra-long lasting shield on all glass surfaces. The glass coating reduces cleaning time and frequency. EnduroShield repels water and contaminants, and helps protect against staining, etching, and build-up from:

◊ Soap scum, body oils & grime

◊ Limescale & hard water

◊ Salt & chlorine spray 

◊ Cement slurry

Cleaning is made easier using only a microfiber cloth with water and a mild detergent or white vinegar.

Factory Applied

The professional strength factory applied glass coating creates a permanent* bond with the glass, and comes with a 10-year performance warranty to new glass. The largest glass fabricators and manufacturers around the world rely on EnduroShield as the industry-leading solution. To order, simply request EnduroShield be factory applied to your new glass.

*Based on 10 years of simulated normal use.


ShowerGuard:

Unlike standard shower glass, ShowerGuard glass has a permanent protective layer bonded to the surface when it’s made – so residue can’t penetrate and cause corrosion and lasting discoloration. That’s why ShowerGuard glass comes with a Limited Lifetime Warranty.

ShowerGuard Glass Treatment stops corrosion before it starts!
