Designing a new bathroom? Improving an existing one? The perfect shower door handle puts the right finishing touch on a glass enclosure. We’ll take you through the options and the various features that make each of them appealing for certain bathrooms and situations. You can browse all types of frameless shower hardware, including handle options, on the Glass Simple site, where nothing is on back-order and all items are available to homeowners and business account holders alike.

Shower Door Pull Handles

Pull handles are made of tubular metal that extends out from the glass and returns to it, forming a handle that you can grip and pull open or closed. Pull handles come as a single item or as a matching back to back set. Some people like to have a handle inside the shower stall, while others are OK with opening the door from inside the shower by pushing on the glass itself. Pull handle benefits include:

Towel Bars as Shower Door Handles

Towel bars can also be installed on a glass shower door and do double duty as handles. These have the obvious advantage of giving you another place to hang a towel, and they are ergonomic. Like pulls, towel bars are sold singly or as back to back sets. A variation on this product is the towel bar pull combo. This product has a towel bar on one side (installed on the outside) and a pull handle on the other (installed on the inside). If you like features of both pulls and towel bars, this gives you the best of both worlds.

Glass Shower Door Knobs

Simple knobs – in both modern and traditional styles – can also serve as shower door handles. While not as ergonomic as pulls and towel bars, knobs are perfect for certain décor goals. For instance, a modern minimalist knob might be used if you are trying to use as little metal as possible and keep the focus on the glass. On the other hand, a classic knob in oil-rubbed bronze would pair well with Satin glass on a shower enclosure in a vintage bathroom.

Finger Pulls for a Glass Shower Enclosure

An even more low profile option is a finger pull like this. Finger pulls don’t grab attention like a pull handle or towel bar, so they are also a nice choice if you’re trying to keep the shower enclosure’s metal components to a minimum. The lend themselves to modern, contemporary, and transitional style bathrooms. As such, they would look nice paired with square edge hinges and clamps as opposed to beveled profile items.
