We usually recommend clear tempered glass to customers who want an open, airy feel in their bathrooms. Therefore, this type enhances both light flow and space perception, making small showers appear larger. Clear glass offers the most transparency, allowing your shower walls or tile work to shine.
In other words, it lets your shower design stay visible while keeping the structure secure. Moreover, its strength is superior to standard glass, which makes it a durable choice for everyday use. As a result, it is one of the safest options we use. We find it popular for customers interested in elegant, low-maintenance shower glass and shower doors.
Some homeowners want added privacy without losing out on style. Consequently, we often suggest frosted glass, which is etched or treated to reduce transparency while still allowing light to filter through. It adds a clean, modern look to shower enclosures.
That is to say, it gives you both privacy and a sophisticated finish. Most importantly, it’s easy to maintain and resistant to common water spots or fingerprints. Frosted glass is ideal for shared or guest bathrooms, where modesty matters. You’ll appreciate how it balances beauty and functionality.
We’ve seen growing interest in rain glass because it offers both texture and function. As a result, it provides privacy while displaying a water-like ripple effect on the surface. Many clients are drawn to this option for its decorative nature.
In other words, rain glass mimics the appearance of falling water, adding a soft, spa-like touch to the shower. However, it doesn’t fully block light, allowing brightness to fill the room. It also helps disguise soap or water residue, making daily upkeep more manageable.
If your goal is to add contrast or a bolder appearance, tinted glass is worth considering. Similarly, it pairs well with dark tiles, hardware, or matte finishes in your bathroom. We offer this in a few standard shades that subtly shift the visual tone of the space.
To clarify, it’s not about creating a dark room. Instead, tinted glass adds mood and drama without overwhelming the design. Most importantly, it provides a hint of privacy while still showing off tile work. It’s perfect for upscale renovations with visual personality.
We often meet clients who want their custom tile work or feature walls to appear exactly as intended. Therefore, low-iron glass is a smart pick for these cases, as it removes the greenish tint found in standard clear glass.
To clarify, this glass delivers near-perfect transparency. You’ll see true whites, blues, and natural stone finishes without distortion. As a result, your carefully selected colors remain untouched. Low-iron is a premium option, chosen when visual clarity matters above all else.
Some shower projects require a special touch, which is where patterned glass stands out. For instance, you may want a geometric or nature-inspired imprint for a unique design. We offer various patterns that add both privacy and decorative value.
In the same vein, this type of glass helps express personal style while masking water spots or streaks. Most importantly, each pattern delivers a tactile feel and artistic element. It’s well-suited for statement pieces and visually layered spaces that move beyond the standard.
When clients want a sleek, modern upgrade, we often suggest frameless systems. Above all, these allow glass panels to shine without bulky borders or metal framing. Frameless glass works best with heavier glass types for safety and structural integrity.
Consequently, these systems feel open and luxurious, often paired with minimal hardware. They’re simple, yet elegant, making them a top pick for spa-style designs. We often pair frameless systems with low-iron or clear tempered glass to preserve clean lines.
Thickness is a crucial factor we never overlook. Typically, we install either 6mm or 10mm glass depending on system type and use. In addition, we assess how often the shower will be used and what hardware is selected.
That is to say, thicker glass offers better durability and is required for frameless models. On the other hand, thinner glass works well with framed enclosures or sliding doors. Each thickness we choose balances strength, weight, and daily performance.
To simplify maintenance, we also offer coated glass options. These are especially helpful in high-use showers, where water spots, soap scum, and residue often build up. Moreover, coated glass helps repel grime for a cleaner, more polished look.
In other words, it makes your cleaning routine faster and more efficient. We often recommend this for households with kids, multiple users, or hard water. It keeps your enclosure looking newer, longer. For added convenience, it’s a smart upgrade.
We’re often asked to compare frosted and tinted glass since they both offer privacy. However, the two serve different visual goals. Frosted glass is about soft light and blur, while tinted glass leans into color and tone.
In other words, one mutes visual details and the other darkens them. Most importantly, your choice depends on how much contrast and design impact you want. We walk clients through each to see which aligns with their bathroom theme.
Every bathroom has a different layout and lighting condition. Therefore, we emphasize customization for all shower glass installs. This ensures everything fits properly and matches the surrounding finishes.
For instance, you might want one frosted panel and one clear. Or, a unique shape that frames a vanity window. Each choice depends on personal style, not just standard solutions. To begin your project, simply reach out using the Contact Us form.
Tempered glass is the safest choice. It shatters into small, blunt pieces if broken, reducing injury risk.
Yes, custom combinations are possible. We often mix clear and frosted panels for privacy and light.
Use a mild soap and soft cloth. Avoid abrasives, as the coating repels grime with minimal scrubbing.
No, it offers the same strength as clear tempered glass but with greater clarity and color accuracy.
Generally, yes. Thicker glass is more durable and better for frameless or heavy-use enclosures.
