Find the Perfect Custom Shower Glass for Your Charleston Home
Tempered Glass: The Standard for Safe, Durable Shower Enclosures
Tempered glass is the most popular choice for modern shower enclosures, offering strength, safety, and code compliance in one durable design.
Safety First:
This glass is heat-treated to be up to five times stronger than standard glass. If broken, it shatters into small, harmless fragments instead of large, jagged shards.
Visual Feature:
Standard tempered glass naturally carries a subtle green edge tint, which becomes more visible in thicker panels.
Code Compliance:
Required by building code for all shower doors and enclosures, tempered glass ensures safety and compliance in every installation.
Ultra-Clear Low-Iron Glass for a Seamless View
The premium glass choice for unmatched brightness and optical clarity, creating a seamless, frameless look that elevates any bathroom design
ultra clarity:
This glass is made with less iron, eliminating the green tint common to standard tempered glass. This results in a brilliant, distortion-free view.
Visual feature:
The edges display a clean, light-blue hue instead of green, making it ideal for highlighting detailed tilework and open frameless designs.
best use:
Showers where the color of the tile or stone must be perfectly accurate, or with thick, frameless glass that requires the highest level of optical clarity.
FROSTED & OBSCURE GLASS: ELEGANT PRIVACY WITH NATURAL LIGHT
Designed to create a spa-like retreat that feels open and inviting, while allowing soft, natural light to filter through every part of your bathroom.
privacy:
Frosted or patterned glass blurs visibility from the outside, offering lasting privacy without sacrificing brightness.
the look:
Softens harsh light and adds a subtle, contemporary finish that complements both classic and modern bathroom styles.
best Use:
Designed for primary or guest baths where balanced privacy, diffused light, and elegant design come together beautifully.
TEXTURED SHOWER GLASS OPTIONS: RAIN, SATIN, & REEDED STYLES
Crafted with patterns pressed directly into the surface, these textured glass options balance style, light diffusion, and privacy with architectural appeal.
rain:
Mimics the look of water streaming down the glass for a natural, self-cleaning appearance and moderate privacy.
Satin/Acid-Etched:
A smooth, uniform frosted surface that diffuses light evenly and provides sleek, modern privacy.
Reed/Fluted:
Features vertical, parallel ridges that add dimension and a classic architectural look while providing moderate privacy.
PROTECT YOUR SHOWER GLASS: EASY-CLEAN COATINGS FOR LASTING CLARITY
Our professional-grade protective coatings bond to the glass surface, forming an invisible layer that repels water, soap film and mineral deposits. Designed for Charleston’s humid, mineral-rich water environment, your shower stays clearer, cleaner and easier to maintain.
Maintenance:
This hydrophobic layer prevents soap scum and mineral buildup, reducing the need for harsh cleaners and frequent scrubbing.
Benefit in Charleston:
Highly recommended for Charleston homes, where humid air and mineral-rich water quickly dull untreated shower glass.
best use:
Ideal for frameless or semi-frameless enclosures where long-term clarity, low-maintenance and high-visibility are priorities.
FRAMELESS SHOWER HARDWARE & ROLLER SYSTEMS
Frameless Hardware for Swinging Doors
Minimal hardware creates a clean, floating look by attaching the glass door directly to the wall or adjacent fixed panel. Ideal for modern bathrooms emphasizing openness and simplicity.
Wall-to-Glass Hinges:
Heavy-duty hinges secure the door directly to the wall for a sturdy, low-profile connection that maintains the frameless look
