Choosing ultra-clear glass
Our shower project post discusses low-iron glass, including OptiWhite and Starphire.

Our rain-glass post explores a useful option for showers that need privacy without losing daylight.

Start with your bathroom layout and available space. Our project posts show how glass choices and door arrangements change the finished shower.
Inline (Wall-to-Wall)
A single plane of glass spanning an opening. Can be a door and panel, or just a door.
Corner Shower (90°)
Two panels meeting at a 90-degree angle. Common for maximizing corner space.
Neo-Angle (135°)
Three sections of glass with a center door, angled to save floor space in smaller baths.
Sliding Barn Door
Modern exposed rollers for a smooth glide. Perfect when a swinging door isn't feasible.
Steam Enclosure
Floor-to-ceiling glass with an operable transom to seal in steam.
Featured architectural bronze
When frameless is not the final expression.
Mooi shower enclosures use genuine solid-bronze framing to create a more architectural composition in Blanc, Rail, and Grid expressions. Each project begins with a qualified design conversation rather than an instant price. Renaissance systems are individually planned and quoted.

Share the dimensions and layout you know. An online planning range is not a final quote; glass, hardware, measurements, and site conditions still need review.
Explore planning optionsWhat affects the price?
- 1.Glass Thickness (3/8" vs 1/2")
- 2.Glass Type (Standard Clear vs Starphire Low-Iron)
- 3.Hardware Finish (Chrome is standard; Matte Black/Gold are premium)
- 4.Complexity (Notches, slopes, or out-of-plumb walls)
- 5.Height (Standard is ~76-80", floor-to-ceiling costs more)
Project Readiness
Before we measure:
- Tile work is 100% complete and grouted.
- Threshold has proper pitch (slope) into the drain.
- Walls have wood blocking where hinges will mount.
- Curb top is solid (avoid hollow tiles if possible).
Common Delays
- Bullnose tiles interfering with door swing.
- Decorative listello tiles placed exactly where hinges need to go.
- Insufficient blocking behind the wall for heavy doors.
Common Questions
What is the difference between Clear and Low-Iron glass?
Standard clear glass has a slight green tint due to iron content, which is noticeable on light tile. Low-iron (Starphire) is crystal clear and shows the true color of your tile.
How long does it take?
Timing depends on the enclosure, glass, hardware, and site readiness. We confirm the fabrication and installation schedule for your project after measurements and scope review.
Can I get privacy glass without making the shower feel dark?
