Its seamless design creates a spacious and open feel, enhancing the overall aesthetics of your bathroom. Whether you’re looking to modernise your space or simply add a touch of sophistication, frameless shower glass is a versatile choice that complements a variety of bathroom styles.
Corner
A corner shower is designed to fit snugly into the corner of a bathroom, maximizing space efficiency. It typically features two glass panels that meet at a right angle, with a door that opens outward or slides.
Inline
An inline shower, also known as a straight shower, is a sleek and modern option that runs along a single wall of the bathroom. It features a single glass panel that is usually mounted to the wall and a door that opens outward or slides.
Angled
An angled shower, also known as a neo-angle shower, is a space-saving option that features a diamond-shaped design. It typically includes three glass panels, with two panels forming a corner and the third panel forming the front of the shower.
Walk In
A shower screen or walk-in shower with a single glass panel offers a minimalist and modern look. It provides a barrier to contain water while maintaining an open and spacious feel in the bathroom.
Understand the Different Types of Glass
When it comes to glazing, understanding the different types of glass available is essential for making informed decisions. Each type of glass has unique characteristics and applications, so let’s explore the differences between standard float glass, toughened glass, laminated glass, and SentryGlas.
Float Glass
Standard float glass is a traditional type of glass commonly used in windows and doors. It is manufactured by floating molten glass on a bed of molten metal, which results in a smooth surface with uniform thickness.
It is relatively inexpensive and easy to produce, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial applications. However, it is more prone to breaking than other types of glass.
Not suitable for showers.
Toughened Glass
Toughened glass is processed by heating standard float glass and then rapidly cooling it. This process creates a glass that is stronger and more resistant to impact and thermal stress compared to standard float glass.
It is considered a safety glass because when it breaks, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, reducing the risk of injury. It is commonly used in applications where safety is a concern.
Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is made by bonding two or more layers of glass together with a plastic interlayer under heat and pressure. This creates a strong, durable glass that holds together when shattered.
It is also considered a safety glass because even when broken, the glass remains in place, held together by the interlayer. This type of glass is often used in applications where security or protection from flying glass is important.
Sentry Glass
SentryGlas is a type of laminated glass that uses an ionoplast interlayer instead of the traditional PVB interlayer. The ionoplast interlayer is stronger and more rigid than PVB, providing enhanced strength and stiffness to the glass.
It offers improved clarity and edge stability compared to traditional laminated glass. It is often used in structural applications where strength and safety are very important.

Standard
Standard clear glass is a versatile and widely-used type of glass known for its clarity and transparency. While it is typically colorless, it may have a slight green tint due to the presence of iron oxide in the raw materials used to make the glass.
Low-Iron
Low iron glass is made with a reduced iron content, which makes it clearer and more transparent than standard glass. It is often used in applications where clarity and aesthetics are important, such as in display cases and architectural features.
Tinted
Tinted glass is treated with a special film that reduces the amount of light and heat that passes through it. It is available in various shades and can help improve energy efficiency and privacy.
Frosted
Frosted glass is treated with acid or sandblasted to create a frosted appearance. It is commonly used in bathrooms, offices, and other areas where privacy is desired.
