Shower Door
Buying Guide
Everything you need to know before buying a frameless glass shower door — types, glass thickness, measurements, and hardware.
Choose Your Door Type
Each type suits a different bathroom layout and opening.
Sliding
Panels glide along a track — ideal for bathrooms where the door swing space is limited.
Explore SlidingHinged
A single or double door that swings open — classic, full-access entry for inline or corner setups.
Explore HingedFixed & Screens
A fixed glass panel with no moving parts — walk-in wet room style with minimal hardware.
Explore Fixed & ScreensBathtub
Screens designed to cover a bathtub — sliding or fixed options for combined bath-and-shower use.
Explore BathtubSelect Glass Thickness
Thicker glass means more stability and a premium feel — but also more weight.
Standard for smaller panels and fixed screens. Lighter and more affordable.
A good balance of strength and weight for medium-sized shower doors.
Premium choice for frameless shower doors. Excellent stability and a solid feel.
Heavy-duty option for large panels and luxury installations. Maximum rigidity.
Measure Your Opening
Accurate measurements are critical for a precise, watertight fit.
Measure the opening width at the top, middle, and bottom — use the smallest measurement.
Measure the height from the threshold to the ceiling or header bar.
Check for level and plumb — out-of-square openings may need custom fabrication.
Note any obstructions: vanity edges, towel rails, or sloped ceilings.
