Frameless Shower Enclosure Basics

Glass Thickness

Glass Thickness 3/8” or 1/2” depending on configuration and customer selection.

Clear Glass Types

Clear Glass: Iron in chemical composition gives glass a green tint.

Low Iron (Starphire) Glass: Low iron glass increases light transmission and provides optically clear views. The edge will have a light blue/green tint.

Shower Guard Upgrade: Shower Guard Glass (available in clear/acid washed/low iron glass). During the tempering process, Shower Guard technology gets baked onto the glass surface to protect against hard water stains, soap scum etc. ** LOW MAINTENANCE, NOT MAINTENANCE FREE

Frameless with Header

Headerless applications generally use 1/2″ glass and require wood blocking on hinge / pivot side of door. Doors cannot be operated off panels in excess of 16″. Headers are necessary in a number of scenarios:

  • Headers are required when wood blocking is not present behind tile on hinge / pivot side of door. Depending on size, doors weigh between 80 – 100lbs. and can not be hung off walls that are not solid.
  • Headers are also required when a specific door swing/shower configuration exceeds hardware limitations. 3/8″ glass is commonly used for header applications, but 1/2″ can be used as well.

Hardware style and finish to match as best as possible to your bathroom.
