Questions and Answers

What is U-channel and how are these used for frameless showers?

When your shower enclosure is installed, you can, in most cases, use a U-channel or metal clips.

The U-channel is a metal rail that is used to secure glass panels to the floor, ceiling, or wall.

U-Channel Detail

U-Channel Close Up on Knee Wall

U-channels reduce the total cost of your frameless shower because the glass sits securely in the channel rather than instead of requiring the drilling and notching of clips. Running U-channels along the bottom and outer edge of your glass shower enclosure does add a "light frame" look to the final product.

While U-channels may be slightly more noticeable than clips, they do not take away from the overall look of your frameless shower. With the right finish, they blend right in to the rest of your hardware and shower, all while adding additional support.

What type of glass will U-channels fit?

Our U-channels fit 1/2" or 3/8" thick glass.

What is the height of a U-channel?

The U-channels we sell are 3/4" tall. This height offers a stronger "bite" on the glass.
