Modern options for custom glass showers allow you to update your primary bathroom with spa-inspired looks that can give your ensuite restroom the feel of an upscale hotel. You can choose from various glass options, a number of different layouts, and hardware in assorted styles and finishes. The particular combinations you pick come together to create either your dream shower or a faux pas of epic proportions. To help you achieve the former rather than the latter, we’ll go over 5 beautiful and diverse possibilities for glass shower design in your primary bathroom.

1. Create a wet room with splash guards.

 

If you have a large space to work with, a wet room design is appealing. To achieve this look, you will waterproof the entire bathroom (or at least a large section of it). Instead of having a separate shower area fully enclosed with glass, a wet room has a shower head that is not in a closed off area. However, custom glass can still be useful because one or more clear glass splash guards maintain the open look and feel, but provide some degree of water containment. A splash panel can be fixed – attached with clamps or U-channels – or hinged if you’d like to be able to swing it to the side.

 

2. Adorn the bathroom and shower area with grid style glass.

 

One of today’s hottest looks is clear glass with matte black framing and grids. Shower glass with actual metal muntins and mullions is available, and this look can also be achieved by surrounding a glass panel with U-channel and using ceramic frit printing to create the gridded look. Whether you want sliding doors, hinged doors, or a fixed panel, grid style glass will quickly elevate your primary bathroom and bring it up to speed with a favorite modern style.

 

3. Add elegance with a clear glass shower room with brass hardware.

 

Another way to turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat is by adding a large clear glass shower enclosure with metal elements in a satin brass finish. Clear glass panels and doors will help make the bathroom feel open and roomy. Brass hardware is in the gold family of metals, which means that it automatically adds a splash of luxury to the bathroom. For the dressiest look, include one or more hinged doors with a fancy pull handle such as this.

 

4. Go futuristic with a frameless sliding door system.

 

If you’d prefer a space-efficient design that gives your bathroom modern elegance, a frameless sliding shower door system will be appealing. Benefits of this type of shower enclosure include:

• Requires no more space than a shower curtain, making this product appealing for compact primary bathrooms.
• The header bar and round rollers give the enclosure contemporary flair.
• This option often works in cases where you want to improve an existing shower stall or tub/shower combo rather than gutting the bathroom and starting over.

 

5. Use a neo-angle corner shower to provide visual interest.

 

Another type of space-friendly glass enclosure is the neo-angle corner shower. On this type of design, there will typically be two sections of glass extending from the wall at 90 degree angles. These are joined by a third panel – usually the swinging door – that adjoins the other panels at 135 degree angles. The three walls of glass, the various angles, and attractive hardware elements make neo-angle showers very visually appealing.
