Glass guide

Planning a frameless shower

A frameless shower looks light and refined. For it to work in everyday use, the glass, fittings, water drainage and the room have to fit together properly.

Frameless does not mean unplanned

The less frame is visible, the more important glass thickness, fixing, stability and precise measuring become.

Being realistic about water tightness

Open walk-in showers and frameless doors need a suitable glass width, floor connection and splash protection. The aim is practicality in everyday use, not just maximum openness.

• check routes through the room and door movement
• take the position of the taps and the direction of the spray into account
• look at the floor, its gradient and the threshold early on

Cleaning and appearance benefit from clear surfaces

Frameless solutions can look particularly calm and be easy to access if fittings and seals are consistently planned in.

For the first assessment

• photos of the planned shower from several angles
• rough width, depth and height
• what you would like: walk-in, hinged door, swing door or alcove
