Customize your frameless shower enclosures and doors to make it a perfect fit for your space.
Shower Space and Layout:
The layout of your shower determines the door install options.
Corner Shower: For a corner shower enclosure, a pivot door or a hinge door configuration that folds inward is ideal. These doors allow for maximum entry space.
Alcove Shower: An alcove shower typically utilizes a sliding door configuration. This space-saving option allows for easy entry and exit without requiring additional clearance for the door to swing open.
Walk-in Shower: For a walk-in shower, you can choose from a variety of configurations. Depending on the desired level of enclosure the customization options are nearly limitless. Opt for a standalone pane, sometimes referred to as a water curtain, a single or double swinging door, or go with space-saving bypass shower doors.
Glass Thickness and Shower Glass Options
Frameless shower doors typically come in glass thicknesses ranging from ⅜ inch to ½ inch. Consider the size of your shower and your personal preference when choosing the thickness and how each thickness appears with the different glass style options.
- Clear Glass: The most popular choice, offering maximum clarity and an open feel.
- Frosted Glass: Provides privacy while still allowing light to pass through.
- Textured Glass: Features a decorative touch while maintaining some privacy.
Hardware Finish
The hardware finish on your frameless shower door should complement your existing bathroom fixtures and decor.
- Chrome: A classic and versatile choice that goes well with most bathroom styles.
- Brushed Nickel: Provides a warm and sophisticated look.
- Oil-Rubbed Bronze: Adds a touch of vintage charm and complements traditional and rustic bathroom designs.
- Matte Black: The most popular trending color with interior designers.
Choosing the Right Finishing Touches
Once you've selected the shower door configuration, glass type, and hardware finish, it's time to explore the world of customization options that can truly make your frameless shower door unique.
Handles and Hinges
- Handles: Frameless shower doors offer a variety of handle options, from simple knobs to bars and pulls. Choose a handle style that complements the overall design of your shower door and hardware finishes in your bathroom.
- Hinges: Hinges come in a variety of finishes to match your chosen hardware. Keep the weight and swing direction of the door in mind when selecting hinges.
Additional Hardware
- Towel Bars: Installing a towel bar within your shower enclosure helps maximize space and keeps towels handy. You can choose from towel bars that mount directly to the glass or the wall, depending on your preference.
- Faucet Access Cutout: If your shower design includes a wall-mounted faucet, consider a cutout in the glass panel to allow access to the controls. It will allow you to turn on the water without getting wet.
