Custom Glass and Mirror Experts

In-line door and panels are the most common design layouts. Doors can be hinged against the left or right wall. 

Stationary panel can be installed using eithe glass clamps or channel

90° corner enclosures are another popular design layout. These can be designed with a door on either side. Usually there is a small panel next to the door, and a larger "return" panel on the other side.

For larger in-line spaces where hinging a door on the wall would cause it to make contact with a vanity, toilet, tub, etc..., a hinge panel can be added allowing the door to be centered and free to swing open.

For in-line showers where a bench and half wall have been added, notching the panel to rest over the half wall is the perfect solution. 

Some 90° showers have a half wall that follow the corner of the space. In this case, the glass can be custom fabricated to sit on top of the wall. 

When there is ample room for door swing and a desire to have full access to the shower opening, double doors can be installed.

Steam showers have a steam unit installed in the shower space to create a sauna like experience. A properly designed steam shower will have a tiled ceiling that is slightly sloped to the back wall. These glass enclosures are design to carry the glass panels full height, and fully enclose the shower space. There is often some form of movable panel to allow for ventilation of the steam from inside the shower. 

Spary or Splash panels are a single piece of glass affixed to one wall of the shower space. This leaves the other side open to enter and exit without having to open a door. Usually the spray panel is permanently fixed, although they can be installed with hinges making it an operable panel. 

Neo angle showers are usually three sided enclosures. Often times the left and right side are similar in size with the center of the base being slightly larger. These designs are often used in bathrooms where space is limited, and putting a traditional corner stall would take away too much space in the room. The door panel most often is in the center, but can be designed to be on any one of the three sides. 

Shower stall openings that are 36” or smaller are often ideal for a single door. Putting a door and panel in these openings is an option as well. Sometimes in such a small space it is a little more comfortable and practical to put a single door. We use a heavy duty hinge in these applications to support the added weight of the oversized door. 

Custom angled showers usually have one or two angles towards the top of the glass. These angles typically follow a dormer roof line.  The glass is all custom measured and fabricated to follow the angle and match the sloped ceiling. Shower stalls installed in finished attic spaces will often have one of these angles. 

Shower stalls where it is desired to have access to either side of stall Can be if it from a double bypass sliding system. These designs have two door panels that individually slide or roll from one side to the other. We offer these in a framed, semi-frameless, or frameless “barn door” design. Each panel often has one single sided towel bar on it. 

Steam showers can be vey relaxing for both mind and body. To get the most out of a steam shower you will want your glass enclosure to go full height. Another feature that is extremely beneficial is. to have an operable transom. This will allow the steam to vent out of the shower space while. also allowing the air to circulate and dry out the interior. Not allowing the air to circulate can promote mold and mildew build up.

Some steam showers are so tall that a venting transom above the door is difficult to reach. There are a few solutions to this problem. One solution is to convert a vetical panel into a moveable piece of glass. 

For this particular job we designed the small panels on either side of the door to be moveable allowing the steam to vent out of the shower space.

When the height of an operable transom would be difficult to reach, the door itself can be used to vent the space. When this is the chosen design we will usually make the door able to swing both inward and outward. This design allows you to leave the door open towards the inside to vent the space without protruding into the bathroom area..

Barn Door Sliders have gained a lot of popularity over the past few years. These are a great option for smaller bathrooms where installing a hinged (swing) door is not very practical. Many people like the modern look, and sleek design of these enclosures as well.

These semi-frameless bypass sliders are another option, offering a more traditional look. These are also a great solution for people who want an enclosure that is better designed to "contain" water in the shower space. They are also a better option for shower stalls or tubs where the bottom of the enclosure is out of level beyond the manufacturers adjustment specs.

Installing double hinged doors in a shower opening provides a minimalistic look, while also allowing full access to the space. This is ideal for persons who require full access, and easy entry and exit into the shower.

A hinged door and in-line panel is often an option on a tub. While it does give that open all glass look, it also limits full access to the tub

For situations where full access is desired and space allows double doors are a great option. These doors can be opened individually and allow full access to the bathtub. This makes it easier for drawing a bath as well as for keeping your tub space clean. 

These frameless glass panels slide or roll independently from one side to the other. This design allows for opening one side to turn one the water, and enter from the other side so you do not enter directly under the shower head. It also makes it easier to access the entire tub space for cleaning.

Standard kits come with one single sided towel bar for each panel. Double sided or single sided handles or knobs can be used instead of towel bars. It is worth noting that if choosing a double sided handle that the doors will not bypass one another.  

These are the same basic design as the above frameless model with a little more metal. The perimeter of the unit is framed in metal, while each glass panel is frameless.
These are best used in situations where the deck (top) of the bathtub has a sloped edge, or is too narrow to accept the bottom guide of the frameless model. These are also the pref design when drilling into the top of the tub is not desired or recommend. 

Splash or spray panels can be a good choice for a more affordable solution. These panels can be custom cut to any width leaving a minimum of 22” of opening. Panels can be permanently fixed or mounted to the wall with hinges to make them operate like a door.
These are a good choice for those who want a frameless glass look without enclosing the entire tub space, creating a more modern and open feel. 

Some bathtubs are designed with a half wall

on one end. For those who want to keep the cost low, but still want heavy glass on the tub have often gone with this option.
A fixed piece of glass is installed on the half wall, and a curtain rod is connected from that panel to the other wall. This design offers both a modern look as well as optimal functionality. It allows full access to the tub space to draw a bath while offering An open feel with a glass wall. The panel can be clear glass or frosted for added privacy.
