Glass Shower Door Options & Hardware










Build Your Shower
So you have decided to install frameless glass panels for your shower. The next step is to select the frameless shower hardware and glass finish. While there is zero metal frame on the glass, frameless glass shower installations do require some fittings and fixtures to hold the glass panels safely in place. These fixtures also allow for the door to swing and be opened with ease.
At GCS Glass & Mirror we offer a huge array of hardware to close from, allowing you to select the right match for your design aesthetic. Equally, there are numerous possibilities with glass finishings – should a simple fixed screen clear panel not suit your shower plans, we can help with that too.
Most Common Glass Finishes

Clear
Clear glass shower stalls are a classic and timeless option. Clear glass is ideal for bathrooms with stand-out tiling on the shower walls as the glass provides zero visual interference. Clear glass has a slight green tint and allows maximum natural light to flood your shower.

Frosted/Satin
Prefer a little more privacy when showering? The simple designs seen on frosted or satin glass are sandblasted on one side and kept smooth on the other to deliver a translucent finish. If opting for a frosted or satin finish on your shower project, keep in mind that the pitted surface can be harder to clean due to the accumulation of soap scum on the roughened surface.

Ultra-Clear/Starphire
Offering unmatched design freedom this glass is virtually invisible once installed. Perfect for those that want a suitable design alternative to the classic clear glass shower enclosure. Also known as low-iron glass, Starphire glass contains only 10% of the iron seen in other types of glass, this eliminates the greenish hue of standard shower glass.

Rain
An alternative to frosted glass, rain glass has a raindrop pattern etched into its surface. Rain glass is preferred by design professionals in bathrooms that may feel a little too spacious with clear glass or when the shower stall is not designed to be a feature.

Limited Lifetime Craftsmanship Warranty
GCS Glass & Mirror warrants our products against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for as long as it is owned by the original purchasing business or consumer. If a claim is deemed valid, the decision whether to repair or replace is determined by GCS Glass & Mirror.
Most Common Hardware Colors

Chrome
Simple, classic, and offering tremendous design flexibility, chrome fixtures can be used in all frameless shower applications. It has a shiny, silver appearance and is a common finish among plumbing fixtures. This allows for an easy match with other shower enclosure accessories and hardware such as taps and showerheads.

Brushed Nickel
Brushed nickel offers a similar classic look to your frameless shower enclosure as chrome, however, it has a silver, matte finish. The benefit of choosing brushed nickel is that it shows up watermarks and soap scum much less easily than chrome while also being a little more understated.

Oil Rubbed Bronze
Designed to mimic aged bronze, the warm tones of oil-rubbed bronze hardware can make your shower space feel a little more vintage and unique. While considered an outdated finish by some, it has been making a steady comeback of late.

Matte Black
Matte black hardware is a bold choice that works well in a shower environment that is monochromatic. Crisp white tiles paired with matte black hardware create a fresh space that will look great for years to come.

Satin Brass
Brass fixtures are the ideal design alternative for those wanting a touch of luxe in their shower door hardware. The matte gold look adds warmth to any bathroom and is easy to clean thanks to its satin finish.
