Stylish Glass Shower Doors and Enclosures

At Alder Glass & Aluminum Ltd., we offer a full range of stylish glass shower doors and enclosures to match your bathroom needs. Whether you’re looking for frameless or framed, we have options.

Some types of enclosures we provide are:

Sliding

One of the best shower doors for small bathrooms, sliding shower doors are the best for wide shower openings and require no floor space for opening the door.
Inline

A frameless shower door consists of a shower opening that has three walls and one ‘inline’ opening space. An inline shower door consists of a glass door panel connected at 180 degrees angle to one or more glass panels on one side of the door.
Corner

With a different style, space and quality, corner shower doors are a space-saver. Taking advantage of unused spaces, they allow the bathroom to be more organized and leave free space for additional storage.
Neo-Angle

These take up very little floor space than the regular rectangular design and fit for corner installations. Some of these also have reversible doors for left-right entries. Somewhat like a corner shower door, a neo angle shower is the one with the front corner sliced off.

Factors Affecting Choice of Shower Enclosures

Some factors that go into what kind of glass tub enclosure is best for you include:

Configuration
Where is the shower or tub located in the bathroom? Are the walls made of sheetrock or tile? Do the walls have double or triple studs? There needs to be a 3 or 4 degree slope on the curb so the water stays in the shower and not on the floor. The answers to these questions help determine the maximum weight of the glass that the walls can support.
Shower Head
This sounds simple, but it can make a difference when you’re planning your shower enclosure. Be sure the shower head will not spray water out the door when it is opened with the water turned on. Water should stay inside the enclosure.
Measurements
What may look like a rectangular opening may not be exactly rectangular once it is measured. Enclosures that are not plumb, level, or standard lengths may cost more in materials and installation.
Ventilation
If the glass shower enclosure is too high and the ceiling is too low, the shower enclosure will not get enough ventilation. Without ventilation, moisture will build-up, paint can peel and mould may grow, especially in a sheetrock ceiling. If you are interested in a steam room, special kits and ventilation panels are available.

Why Get Glass Shower Doors or Enclosures?

Here are some of the reasons why people choose to install shower enclosures in their bathrooms:

Decoration
The addition of a sleek frameless shower enclosure brings in the clean architectural lines that help define contemporary décor trends.
Separates Your Shower Area
Glass effectively traps water inside the shower stall which allows you to keep your bathroom dry.
Fully Customizable
Shower doors and enclosures can be customized to meet your needs and décor goals.
Easy Maintenance
Modern options and innovative solutions make it easier to take care of shower glass so that maintenance is not a problem.
Safety
The use of tempered glass in shower doors ensures safety. Not only does it add significant strength, but if the glass breaks it will shatter into small safer pieces.
