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.

Shower Enclosure Finishes

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.

Types of Glass

Glass Thickness

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.
