Glass guide

Choosing fittings for glass showers

Fittings look small, but they decide how the shower works day to day. They have to bring together the glass, the door movement, the wall connection, cleaning and design.

Fittings are technical components

A fitting does more than hold glass. It determines the way the door moves, stability and operation, and often also how easily the glass surface can be cleaned later.

Considering appearance, finish and care together

Chrome, a stainless steel look or other finishes each have a different effect. At the same time, fingerprints, limescale, accessibility and care in everyday use should be taken into account.

• align the position of the fittings with the towel rail, taps and furniture
• on the inside, prefer details that are as calm and easy to reach as possible
• do not plan seals and water drainage separately from the fittings

Comparing in the showroom

Fittings are hard to judge from photos. In the showroom, weight, finish, how they feel in the hand and the effect of the glass become more tangible.

To clarify before the consultation

• door type: swing, hinged, sliding or walk-in
• the finish you would like and the existing taps
• photos of the tiles, wall connections and routes through the room
