Types of Shower Enclosure Hardware & Glass

Our shower enclosures come in a variety of standard finishes, with multiple glass and hardware options available for maximum customization.

Every shower enclosure will come with a variety of hardware components, determined by the shower style you select. We carry these hardware components in 4 standard finishes: chrome, oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, and matte black. Additional finishes are available but may come with an extended wait time.

We offer 2 main hinge styles which can be used with almost any shower enclosure. Additional hinge styles are available but may be limited by the unique circumstances of your installation.

We offer a large number of handle options for your new shower enclosure. Below is a small sample of some common styles. Ask your shower enclosure specialist what options are available.

In addition to hinges and handles, we offer a variety of towel bars and robe hooks which can be incorporated into your shower enclosure. Ask your shower enclosure specialist for more information.

We offer 4 types of glass as standard options for all shower enclosures: clear, rain, pattern 62, and satin etched. Additional glass types are available from our preferred partner, Cardinal. However, specialty glass options come with a 4-5 week turnaround.

Ultimately, the thickness of the glass used in your shower enclosure installation will be determined by the enclosure type.

For framed or semi frameless showers, we use 1/4″ glass.

Hybrid showers typically come with the door in 1/4″ glass and the inline or return panels in 3/8″.

Frameless showers can be built using either 3/8″ or 1/2″ glass.
