Glass shower enclosures are created with several different types of glass. Current design trends have led us to offer a variety of glass types, colors, and patterns to choose from. Here is a breakdown of the glass types for shower doors that we offer: standard clear glass, ultra-clear HDglass, frosted glass, rain glass, bronze glass, and gray glass.
Cut-outs and notches are an important part of your shower door fabrication. Our precision machinery enables us to create perfect cut outs and notches that are required for a glass shower door to function properly. They include: Holes, Mitered Edges, Mickey Mouse Cut-Outs, and Notched Glass.
All clear glass contains some iron particles, which gives glass a slight greenish hue. This normal green tint can change how your shower tile looks when viewed from the other side of the glass.
With our ultra-clear HDglass, the iron particles have been removed from the glass. This low-iron glass provides excellent clarity and true color representation for bathroom tile or marble.
HDglass puts your shower design on display, giving a near invisible and airy feel to your entire room.
Standard shower glass is essentially used in framed showers constructed with either 3/16- or 1/4-inch thick glass. The glass is not strong enough to stand alone as a structural barrier and has to be wrapped in metal to be rigid enough to form a shower door. That is why we do not use 3/16” or 1/4” glass for our frameless shower doors.
Heavy shower glass refers to premium architectural glass either 3/8” or 1/2” thick. It's used to build frameless showers. Glass strength increases with thickness so heavy shower glass offers greater structural integrity that does not require a metal frame.
