Why does my frameless shower glass have notches?

Shower glass notches are "hill-shaped" cutouts made during the glass fabrication process. These glass notches ready the shower panels for installation with metal clips, not U-channels. These two-inch heavy metal clips slip into the shower glass notches for a firm, secure grip.

The notches are cut to specific measurement and placement – with no room for error.

Other special shower glass cutouts include the mickey mouse notch, used to secure door hinges.
