A hinged frameless glass door, on its own or next to a fixed panel, made to fit your shower.
A swing shower door is a frameless glass door that hangs on hinges mounted to the wall or to a fixed glass panel and opens into the bathroom like a regular door. It is the most common frameless shower door and fits most alcove showers that have room for the door to swing. There is no track to step over and nothing along the bottom to collect soap.
Star Glass LLC measures the opening, has the tempered glass made to fit and installs the door with the hinges and handle finish you choose. We install swing doors in homes across northern and central New Jersey.
A narrow alcove, up to about 30 inches, usually takes a single door. A wider opening takes a door plus a fixed panel, so the door stays a comfortable size and weight. Where the opening is wider still, the panel can be split or a short return panel can close the gap. We sort this out when we measure.
Most swing doors open out, away from the shower, so the last drops fall inside when you step out. Many hinges also let the door swing in, which is handy for cleaning. Before we make the glass we check what the door would hit when it opens: the toilet, the vanity, a towel bar or the bathroom door. If nothing clears, a sliding shower door is usually the answer.
Clear glass is standard. Low-iron glass has less green tint and suits white tile and light stone. Frosted glass gives privacy. Thickness is 3/8 or 1/2 inch, and the thicker glass feels more solid when the door closes. Hardware comes in satin brass, matte black, chrome, brushed nickel, oil rubbed bronze, polished nickel and brushed bronze. We bring samples to the visit so you can hold them next to your faucet.
You call or send the quote form with a photo. We visit, measure the opening and go over the options with you. The glass is made to those measurements and we come back to install it. If the shower is still being tiled, we wait until the tile is finished to measure. For a corner shower, see corner shower enclosures.
Frameless glass that slides on a top rail, for tubs and openings where a door cannot swing.
Two frameless glass sides meeting at a corner, with a hinged door in one of them.
Frameless glass to the ceiling, sealed so the steam stays in the shower.
FAQ
Yes, with the right hinge. Most people set the door to open out and swing it in only for cleaning. We check what the door would hit in each direction before the glass is made.
No, when it is set right. A sweep along the bottom edge and a drip rail direct water back into the shower, and opening the door outward lets the last drops fall inside.
Only if the opening is wider than a single door can cover comfortably, usually past about 30 inches. We tell you after measuring, and a door-and-panel layout keeps the door a manageable weight.
The width of the opening, a fixed panel if the opening needs one, the glass thickness, low-iron or frosted glass, and the hardware finish. Star Glass gives you a firm price after measuring in your home.
