The glass door is the centerpiece of any shower enclosure. Here is how to choose between the three main constructions and the hardware that goes with them.
Fixed panels and minimal hardware create an open, high-end look. They use thicker glass (8–10 mm) and rely on wall brackets and a floor channel. Best for premium residential and hotel projects.
An aluminium frame supports the glass, improving stability and sealing. More affordable and easier to maintain — a safe choice for rental and high-traffic bathrooms.
Choose 304 stainless hinges/rollers and certified tempered glass (SGCC / EN 12150). Self-cleaning nano-coating glass reduces limescale buildup.
Use a squeegee after each shower and a mild descaler monthly. Avoid abrasive cleaners on coated glass.
