Bathrooms are no longer just functional rooms; they are relaxation zones and also design statements. A glass shower enclosure is sleek and maximizes the amount of natural light in the room, making the room look bigger. However, the shower enclosure must not only look good, but also have high safety standards and perform impeccably in a wet environment. Glass Project Solutions Ltd. designs, fabricates, and installs custom Summerland glass shower enclosures designed to suit builders, architects, and discriminating homeowners across Canada. Our enclosures are a blend of beauty and engineered durability and conform to all applicable Canadian building codes.

The use of Summerland glass enclosures alters the look of bathrooms to make them look spacious and open, especially when crafted with carefull precision. For example frameless glass removes the sightlines, making the shower part of the overall design. Clear glass cabinets display elaborate tile work and quality fittings. Frosted or patterned glass can provide privacy, but still allow natural light to enter.
Unlike curtains or flimsy plastic panels, tempered and laminated glass resists scratches, heat, and impact. They won’t yellow or warp over time. Glass surfaces are non‑porous, so they don’t harbour mould or mildew; a quick squeegee or wipe keeps them clean and sanitary. Protective coatings can further repel water and reduce mineral buildup.
We’re all about providing our customers with accurate, high-quality installations. We get there by focusing on the little details and constantly improving our skills. With years of experience under our belt, we’re committed to delivering the best solutions for our customers. We make sure to listen closely to your needs and take the time to measure and assess your space. After everything’s checked, we’ll recommend the best options to fit your needs.
Every bathroom layout is unique. Glass enclosures can be fabricated for any configuration—straight, corner, neo‑angle, curved, or full-height. Sliding, pivot, bi-fold, or hinged doors adapt to different room sizes and user preferences. Hardware finishes can match faucet and cabinet selections, giving a cohesive look throughout the space.
Canadian building codes require that “glass other than safety glass shall not be used for a shower or bathtub enclosure”. Therefore, all shower enclosures must be fabricated from tempered or laminated safety glass. Section 9.6 of the BC Building Code mandates that glass conform to CAN/CGSB standards, such as “Tempered or Laminated Safety Glass”.
Made by heating glass to high temperatures and rapidly cooling it, increasing its strength four to five times compared to regular glass. When broken, it shatters into small, blunt pieces, minimizing injury risk. Its durability makes it the most popular choice for full‑height panels and doors.
Consists of two or more glass layers bonded by an interlayer (PVB or EVA). When broken, the interlayer holds fragments in place, preventing them from falling and maintaining a barrier. Laminated glass offers additional benefits such as sound reduction and enhanced impact resistance, making it ideal for high‑traffic areas or when extra security is desired.
Heavy doors are hinged with solid brass or stainless steel hinges. Pivot hinges may contain self-closures (and soft close mechanisms).
Sliding doors are made to perform smoothly with precision bearings. Slamming is avoided by a soft-close damper.
Secure fixed panels to walls or floors while allowing for thermal expansion. Channels can be recessed, surface-mounted, or hidden below tile for minimal visibility.
Ergonomically designed, available in various finishes. Ladder-style handles double as towel holders.
Vertical edges and bottom sweeps are sealed with vinyl or polycarbonate to keep water in the shower. Pivot doors are closed with magnetic strips.
Thresholds are low profile to retain water; barrier-free design may need a linear drain or a sloping floor.
The BC Building Code (and analogous provisions across Canada) states that only safety glass may be used in shower or bathtub enclosures. At Glass Project Solutions Ltd., we use tempered or laminated glass exclusively. Our products bear certification marks verifying compliance with CAN/CGSB‑12.1 for safety glazing.
Section 9.6 mandates that glass conform to CAN/CGSB standards, such as tempered or laminated safety glass, flat sheet and float glass, heat-absorbing glass, and insulating glass units. It also requires glass to be designed to withstand loads under CAN/CGSB‑12.20 or ASTM E1300. Our engineers evaluate every panel using these standards, ensuring proper thickness and support.
While Canadian codes vary by jurisdiction, typical guidelines include:
We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your project requirements. For architects, we review plans and coordinate with other trades. We measure site conditions—wall plumbness, tile thickness, ceiling height—and discuss door swing direction, panel size, and hardware placement. We provide CAD or BIM drawings to visualize the enclosure and ensure compatibility with adjacent fixtures.
Using our measurements, our engineers specify glass thickness and hardware. Glass is cut using CNC equipment for precision and polished for smooth edges. Holes for hinges and handles are drilled before the tempering or laminating process. We manufacture hardware from corrosion-resistant metals and apply finishes that match your design palette.
Our installers are certified and take care of tempered and laminated glass. They apply suction lifters in order to position the panels, and they use the levels and laser guides to align the panels to the levels. Hinges and brackets are fixed to studs with stainless steel screws. Channels are covered with mildew-resistant silicone to avoid leakages. We repair door hinges to have the correct reveal and good action. Magnetic strips or sweeps are fitted to provide a watertight seal.
We test the enclosure by running water and observing for leaks. We check door operation, seal integrity, and hardware alignment. After cleaning the glass, we review the installation with the client and provide maintenance instructions.
