Glass Simple Solves Shower Hardware Delays and Supply Issues for Glass Companies and DIYers

Glass Simple Solves Shower Hardware Delays and Supply Issues for Glass Companies and DIYers

12th Apr 2023

Supply chain disruptions have reached the point that one New York Times article suggests having a complete factory-made bathroom installed rather than suffering the delays caused by unavailable parts and fixtures. However, glass companies offer clients glass showers that aren’t prefabricated according to a set pattern. At the root of the product offered is the customer’s ability to enjoy a shower designed to fit perfectly in their unique space and to be built from their chosen glass and hardware. A delay in receiving  frameless shower hardware detracts from the client’s experience and perception of your brand, even if the problem arises through no fault of your own. Likewise, DIYers are often working around job schedules and family needs, so difficulty acquiring the appropriate shower hardware can make a challenging task much more burdensome. Glass Simple offers both glass companies and homeowners a solution.

Avoiding delays is key, but it’s also vital to provide the items customers actually need and want.

Our team’s experience in the field of custom shower design and our ongoing monitoring of trends gives us insights into the shower hardware styles and finishes that homeowners prefer today. We offer items in favorite finishes such as:

  • brushed nickel
  • matte black
  • polished chrome
  • brushed bronze
  • polished nickel
  • satin brass
  • oil rubbed bronze

Our hinge selection includes pivot hinges, wall mounted hinges, and glass to glass hinges. We offer square edges for more modern designs and beveled edges for a traditional look. Handles are also available to meet a wide range of style preferences and practical considerations:

  • Finger pulls and knobs – These are preferred by homeowners who want to create an “all glass” look by using as little metal as they can and keeping those pieces as small and unobtrusive as possible.
  • Pull handles – Whether oriented vertically or horizontally, pull handles look nice and may be preferred by homeowners who wish to maximize accessibility or age in place, as they are easier to use than a small knob or finger pull. Our styles range from very sleek and simple Tubular handles to classic Ladder handles to ornate Baroque handles and more.
  • Towel bars – A metal towel bar can be installed on the shower glass with height and placement that allow it to double as a handle.
  • Combo – A combo handle system has a horizontal towel bar on the outside of the door and a vertically oriented pull handle on the inside. Finally, let’s get answers to some FAQs about Glass Simple’s products.
