Shower Doors, Enclosures & Tub Enclosures

Capital Glass is a full service glass, shower & a bathtub enclosure dealer. We provide material and installation of heavy glass and traditional glass shower enclosures. The term frameless is often used for both heavy glass and traditional glass shower enclosures. Originally, each piece of glass needed to be framed in aluminum. Advances in glass tempering technology allowed for the frame to be removed from each panel, and the term ‘frameless’ was born.

These early frameless showers still required perimeter framing to hold the enclosure in place. At Capital Glass we refer to these types of enclosures as Traditional Glass Shower Enclosures. Recently the use of heavy glass (3/8” or 1/2” tempered glass) and specially designed hardware, has allowed for the creation of shower enclosures without the perimeter framing.

Traditional Showers

Capital Glass offers two types of Traditional Shower and Tub Enclosures, Standard and Euro. The major difference between Standard and Euro is how the hardware is attached to the glass, and the style of the hardware.

Largely due to the strength of the glass, much of the aluminum can be eliminated from the enclosure resulting in a frameless glass shower enclosure. There is still a need for some hardware to hold the glass in place. Capital Glass will help with the layout and design of the perfect enclosure for your space. The number of hinges and glass clips used depends on the design and the size and weight of the glass panels and doors.

Hardware is available in either a square or beveled style, and is available in a wide variety of finishes. The most commonly requested finishes include Brushed or Satin Nickel, Polished Chrome, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Polished Stainless.

Benefits of a frameless glass shower enclosure include:

Allows in more light: Both natural, and artificial light can flow in more easily with a frameless shower compared to a traditional shower.

Easier to keep clean: Frameless showers don’t build up mold as easily as curtains. They’re also much easier to clean and usually only require a squeegee.

It looks better: Frameless glass looks slick and minimalist in a bathroom. It also makes a bathroom look bigger and more spacious than it is. Frames can also create small crevices in the glass. Metal frames can also rust and become dirt easily. Frameless showers also emphasize features of your bathroom. For example, if you have stone floor or marble flooring or walls it’ll be shown off better by glass than a curtain.

Customization: Framed glass showers come in set sizes that cannot be changed. Frameless glass shower enclosures are easily customizable and can fit any bathroom.

More functional doors: Framed doors can only open outward. Whereas frameless doors can open either way.
