Discover Your Perfect Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on frameless glass shower enclosures. We understand that selecting a shower enclosure can be a daunting task, especially if you're new to home renovation. With so many factors to consider, getting the right answers early is crucial. Our aim is to help you grasp the essentials of shower doors, making your buying experience smooth and informed.
Here at Glass Tailors we provide a custom designed shower enclosure for any bathroom style. We can install everything from fixed screens, hinged, sliding or bi-folding doors to complete walk in enclosures and steam cabins. You may have a shower next to a bathtub which requires a knee or half wall; or a shower that requires two or three glass panels. Whether you have a low roof space, an old beam in the way, or simply an old sized shower tray that just doesn't come with a matching door. We have many years’ experience in creating bespoke shower enclosures made to your direct requirements, that will look amazing.
Walk-Ins & Fixed Screens
Rather than having an enclosure for the door to swing, you can simply install a walk-in enclosure. These alluring, minimalist walk-in configurations are made of toughened safety glass and allow you no fuss showering.
In-Line Enclosures
These enclosures fit in a shower that has a single straight opening and include bi-folding doors (meaning sliding doors), single swing doors, and any door and panel configuration without angled panels.
Return-Panel Enclosures
The panel doesn’t line up to the door, but instead sits at a 90-degree angle with this option. You can choose from a swing door or by-folding door with a return panel. Two or three glass panels may be required to complete your shower design.
Quadrant Enclosures
Rather than having the door on one side of the enclosure, quadrant panels can conveniently face diagonally into the room, ultimately saving on space. Also, these form a larger access point, making it easier to get in and out.
3-Sided Enclosures
Our 3-sided frameless shower enclosures inject a statement of style into any bathroom space. The absolute versatility of these 3-sided shower enclosures, made from fully frameless glass, can be adapted to fit any space.

Custom Solutions for Unique Spaces
At Glass Tailors, we understand that every bathroom is different. We provide tailored solutions for unique spaces:
Form and function are equally important and you’ll want your bathroom walls to properly support your new shower enclosure. While Glass Tailors Enclosures can be installed on a variety of wall materials in the shower area, the exact type of walls can influence the installation process. Whilst thinner glass can be used in just about any space, the type of wall material becomes more important if you’re eyeing a heavier product like 10mm glass. Before you order, check out and note where your wall studs are located, since this is where your door and hinges will be mounted.
If you are installing a sliding or rolling shower door, position the inner panel by the wall where the shower head is located for maximum waterproofing.
For swing doors or door and panel configurations, we recommend that the hinge is opposite of the shower head. The layout of your bathroom may determine the placement of your swing door.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing bathroom or starting fresh, the shape of your shower area can really elevate the space. Our most popular layouts are inline, return, and corner. Our most popular configurations include inline, return and corner enclosures. To learn more about shower shapes and other customization options, size up your shower above.
Here’s a consideration that entails both logistics and aesthetics. Do you prefer your shower door to slide open and closed or would you like it to swing open? If you choose the second option, check out the actual space to figure out which direction the door should swing — right or left.
Swing Doors: Much like any door in your house, these doors swing out into the bathroom to allow entry into your shower.
Sliding Enclosures: A stylish and space-saving option, sliding doors move along a single line. Some sliding enclosures feature bypass doors, where both sides slide, while others feature a sliding panel coupled with one that is fixed.
Rolling Doors: Much like sliding doors, rolling doors travel along a single plane. However, advanced ball bearings ensure a premium glide along the track on a fixed panel.
Panel Enclosures: For fans of simplicity, panel-style enclosures offer the purest form of entry. Assuming a strategically positioned shower head, and featuring no moving parts, panel enclosures keep the water in, while allowing for total freedom when entering.
