ShowerGuard — Guardian Glass permanent clear coating

Optional factory coating that resists water spots, soap scum, and hard-water staining on every glass spec. Available on ALL glass we quote.

Hardware Finish

20 CRL Shower Hardware finishes (Vienna & Cologne lines). Swatches indicate finish family — final hardware samples are reviewed at quote stage.

Note: Unlacquered Brass is a "living finish" — it patinas naturally over time.

A sleek frameless shower design where the door is hinged directly from a fixed glass panel using glass-to-glass hinges. This layout eliminates the need for wall-mounted hinges, creating a clean, modern appearance while maintaining strong support and smooth door operation.

System Features

  • Glass-to-Glass Hinges

    Heavy-duty hinges that mount through the fixed panel rather than into the wall — no studs or tile-blocking required at the hinge run.

  • 3/8" Tempered Glass

    Standard frameless thickness. Door and fixed panel sized together so the hinge geometry stays clean across the seam.

  • Open, Wall-Free Look

    Ideal when the fixed panel runs perpendicular off a half-wall or low return rather than into a full tile wall.

  • Hardware Finishes

    Brushed nickel, matte black, polished chrome, brushed brass — matched to your fixtures.

  • Custom Door Width

    Door panel sized to the opening, with the fixed panel running the balance of the enclosure.

  • Smooth, Quiet Swing

    Glass-to-glass hinges deliver the same heavy-duty action as wall-mount hinges with a cleaner visual.

Best Applications

Half-Wall Showers

The fixed panel runs off a low pony wall or half-wall — the door hinges into the panel, not the wall.

Open Master Baths

When the shower opening sits in the middle of the room rather than tucked into an alcove, glass-to-glass removes the visual weight of wall hinges.

Tile-Sensitive Walls

Useful when the adjacent wall is finished in a tile you don't want to drill a hinge plate into.
