🚿 Shower Glass 101: Choosing the Right Panel for Your Next Project

A guide for contractors, renovators, and designers working with glass

When it comes to bathrooms, shower glass can make or break the look—and function—of the space. Whether you're a contractor building a new home or a renovator updating a client’s ensuite, selecting the right shower glass matters for safety, performance, and style.

At Dvine Glass, we supply cut-to-size shower panels, glass enclosures, and custom orders to contractors and trades across Kawartha Lakes. Here's what you need to know before your next install.

🧼 Types of Shower Glass Panels

Choosing the right type of glass is key. Each style has its purpose, depending on the level of privacy, lighting, and visual impact you or your client are going for.

1. Clear Glass

✔ Bright, open feel
✔ Most affordable
❗ Requires regular cleaning to avoid water spots

2. Low-Iron (Ultra Clear)

✔ No green tint
✔ High-end, crystal-clear look
❗ Slightly more expensive—but worth it for luxury jobs

3. Frosted or Patterned Glass

✔ Added privacy
✔ Diffuses light beautifully
✔ Ideal for shared or guest bathrooms

4. Tinted Glass (Gray/Bronze)

✔ Sleek, modern finish
✔ Subtle privacy and added depth
✔ Works well in darker or masculine design schemes

🛡️ Don’t Skip the Safety Specs

All shower glass panels must be tempered (safety glass)—it's a non-negotiable building code requirement. Tempered glass is stronger and, if broken, crumbles into blunt pieces rather than sharp shards.

At Dvine Glass, every shower panel is custom-cut and tempered to meet your exact measurements and local code.

Save yourself (and your client) time and money by following these prep tips:

• Measure after tile is installed for the most accurate fit

• Plan for hardware (hinges, clips, U-channel) before cutting

• Account for slope in shower bases to avoid panel misalignment

• Know your layout (inline, corner, neo-angle, etc.)

Need help? Our team can walk you through the details and double-check specs before you order.
