Frameless corner shower enclosure with brass-tone hardware

THE FRAMELESS APPROACH

Let the room
shine through.

Frameless shower enclosures use substantial glass panels with discreet hardware to keep the room visually open. The tile, stone and light remain the focus, while the glass defines the shower area.

Each layout is considered around the opening, available clearance and supporting surfaces. Glass thickness, panel sizes and hardware are confirmed for the individual project.

Illustrations explain typical layouts, not fabrication or installation details. Glass sizes, supports, clearances and hardware are confirmed for each project.

Glass OptionsClear, low-iron, privacy & tinted glass

Clear Glass

The familiar transparent choice. Standard clear glass can show a green tint, especially at the edges.

Low-Iron Glass

A clearer appearance with reduced green tint, allowing light tile and stone colors to show more naturally.

Frosted / Acid-Etched Glass

A diffused surface softens the view through the glass for a more private appearance. Samples help establish the desired effect.

Gray Tinted Glass

A gray tone gives the enclosure a darker visual character. Tint changes the view but does not make the glass opaque.

Bronze Tinted Glass

A warm brown tone can complement warm stone, wood and metal finishes. It remains a translucent or transparent material depending on the specification.

Textured / Patterned Glass

A patterned surface adds visual texture and varying degrees of screening. Temperable patterns, thicknesses and hardware compatibility require confirmation.

Glass swatches are illustrations. Confirm the actual sample, thickness and finish before ordering. Shower glass is specified as safety glass; not every decorative option is suitable for every enclosure.

Glass thickness & careA few practical details

3/8-inch and 1/2-inch glass are common discussion points for custom enclosures. Thickness is selected with panel dimensions, support and hardware limits. A thicker option is not compatible with every sliding system.

Ask about protective glass treatments and their care instructions. Availability and maintenance depend on the actual glass product selected.

Hardware Finishes8 finishes · handles & hardware

Use these colors as a starting point. Screen colors are illustrative; confirm a physical finish sample and availability for your chosen hardware.

Polished Chrome

Bright, reflective silver.

Brushed Nickel

Soft silver with a brushed appearance.

Polished Nickel

Reflective nickel with a warmer tone than chrome.

Matte Black

A dark, low-sheen finish.

Satin Brass

A warm brass tone with a soft sheen.

Gunmetal

A deeper metallic gray.

Brushed Bronze

A warm bronze tone with a brushed appearance.

Oil Rubbed Bronze

A dark brown finish with warm undertones.

Handles, hinges & special finishesComplete the details

Pull handles, knobs and towel-bar combinations can be discussed with the selected enclosure. Hinges, rollers, clips and channels must suit the glass and mounting conditions.

For aged, patinated or unlacquered looks, ask us to check the specific product. Finishes are not necessarily available across every hardware family.

03 / THE DETAILS MATTER

More than glass.
A complete composition.

The final character of your shower comes from the way every component works together.

Corner shower enclosure with brass-tone hardware and stone walls
01 Glass options +

Clear glass offers a familiar, transparent appearance. Low-iron glass reduces the green tint found in standard clear glass, helping lighter tile and stone read more naturally. Privacy finishes can be discussed when a more screened effect is desired.

Browse glass options

Shower panels use tempered safety glass. Common thicknesses include 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch; the appropriate choice depends on the design and compatible hardware, not appearance alone.

02 Hinges, rollers & support +

Hinged doors require hinges suited to the glass size, weight and mounting conditions. Sliding doors use a compatible roller and rail system. Fixed panels may use clips or channels, with additional support where the design requires it.

The support system is selected for the enclosure rather than treated as an interchangeable decoration.

03 Handles & finishes +

Pull handles, knobs and suitable towel-bar combinations give the enclosure its finishing touch. Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and brass-tone finishes can be explored to complement your bathroom fixtures, subject to the chosen hardware line and availability.

04 Seals & everyday use +

Door sweeps and seals help manage water at the moving edges. Their placement depends on the enclosure. A frameless shower is not a sealed tank: showerhead direction, curb slope and the overall bathroom design also influence water containment.

05 What goes into your proposal +

Your proposal identifies the agreed configuration, glass, hardware finish and installation scope. Measurements and site conditions must be verified before fabrication. Any special accessories, removal work or additional requirements should be confirmed in writing.
