If you want a shower door that swings, a pivot door is the best option. Special hinge allows these doors to open 180 degrees in or out. It can either be mounted on one side or centrally, and thus it appears super modern – just like those curved glass shower doors of the most stylish bathroom!
Sliding shower doors are quite popular as they save space, and nowadays, you can find frameless shower doors. They may be a little more expensive, but they certainly look sleek and clean with no metal framing. If you are on a budget, however, a regular tracked sliding door is much cheaper and requires simple installation, and still works well.
Bypass sliding doors work like a patio door; they simply slide on tracks. These doors typically have two panels that slide past each other. Some of them come with rollers to make the sliding even smoother, so it’s not just practical but stylish too!
When you want the look of a semi-frameless swing door without the cost, try the Elite swing door. The modern style lends itself well to a fresh bathroom remodel. With a 3/8” fixed panel and 1/4” swinging door, it’s easy to open and close, making it much more practical than your average 3/8” frameless door.
Silhouette doors are an excellent option if you’re looking for an affordable shower door that still makes a great impression. With minimal frames and ample glass, they add to a minimalist aesthetic in your bathroom. These are ideal for guest bathrooms or any on-a-budget remodel that still makes a big impact!

The use of glass doors for showers alters the look of bathrooms, making them appear spacious and open, especially when crafted with careful precision. For example, frameless glass removes the sightlines, making the shower part of the overall design. Clear glass doors display tile work and quality fittings. Frosted or patterned glass doors can provide privacy, but still allow natural light to enter.
Unlike shower curtains or plastic panels, glass doesn’t harbour mould or mildew. For instance, at Glass Project Solutions Ltd. we provide tempered and laminated glass which resists impact and thermal stress. Additionally, a simple wipe with a cleaner keeps it pristine, and hydrophobic coatings help repel water and minimise spots. These features not only make glass doors aesthetic, but durable as well.
Vernon Glass shower doors are available in sliding, pivot, hinged, and neo‑angle configurations to suit any layout. Hardware finishes—from brushed nickel to matte black—match faucets and handles, while options like low‑iron glass provide crystal‑clear views. Choose between frameless, semi-frameless, or framed systems depending on budget and style.
Every bathroom layout is unique. Our Vernon glass shower doors can be fabricated in 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. In other words we’re thoroughly capable of providing custom products that can meet any layout and design used in you place.
Section 9.6 of the BC Building Code (and the National Code’s equivalent) requires glass used in shower enclosures to conform to CAN/CGSB standards. Our glass panels are manufactured from tempered safety glass that meets CAN/CGSB‑12.1‑M, and our laminated options incorporate PVB or SentryGlas® interlayers for additional security and sound attenuation.
The code explicitly prohibits using anything other than safety glass for shower or bathtub enclosures. We never use annealed (untreated) glass; every shower door is tempered and, where required, laminated. Panels are marked with certification stamps to demonstrate compliance.
The design of each panel must meet structural design standards (CAN/CGSB‑12.20‑M or ASTM E1300). Our engineering team calculates load resistance based on panel size, thickness, a nd mounting method, ensuring the glass will withstand impacts and thermal stress.
Transparent doors accessible to the public must have hardware or fixtures to make their presence obvious. We use handles, towel bars, and discreet logos to identify glass doors clearly. In commercial settings, we can apply safety bands or etched patterns at eye height to satisfy visibility requirements.
For accessible showers, building codes require a clear opening width (often 800 mm or greater) and minimal thresholds to accommodate mobility devices. Our barrier‑free sliding doors or pivot doors with low‑profile sills meet these requirements. We can integrate grab bars, bench seating, and textured glass for enhanced safety.

Use a squeegee after each use to minimize water spots. For weekly cleaning, apply a mild, non‑abrasive cleaner and a microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads that could scratch coatings.
Periodically wipe hinges, rollers, and handles to remove soap residue. Lubricate moving parts (where recommended) with silicone spray. Check screws annually and tighten if necessary.
Schedule a professional inspection if you notice misalignment, unusual noise, or water leakage. Our team can adjust hinges, replace seals, and perform repairs. Laminated panels remain intact if shattered, but any cracked panel should be replaced promptly.
