Frameless Shower Planning Guide

Understand enclosure styles, hardware finishes, and layout clearances before you order.

Choose your enclosure style

Start with the opening type: inline sliders for tight footprints, 90-degree pivots for luxury feel, or neo-angle enclosures for space-saving corners.

Confirm clearances early

Plan for door swing, towel bar clearance, and hinge side reinforcement so the glass can open freely without clipping fixtures.

Match finishes across the bath

Align metal finishes on hinges, handles, and headers with faucets for a cohesive, design-forward look.
