Fixed Panels are showers with only (1) panel installed. Meaning the door is missing.
The most frequently asked questions regarding this option:
Will the water get out? …. To answer your question: Yes, it may. This all depends on who or how you are bathing. Some customers are a fan and there are others that would rather just have a door.
*Please Note: We CAN add/install a door at a later time if you decide to change your mind.
Is the panel strong enough? …. To answer your question: Yes. All of our shower panels are either 3/8” or 1/2” thick. The glass is also tempered glass making it a lot stronger than regular glass. The glass panel is also securely installed with the U channel or clamps of your choice.
Hardware Options:
U Channel
Clamps
*Both are installed and sealed the same way. The difference between the two is the design aspect. Neither or is stronger.
Please remember:
Frameless enclosures are NOT 100% water tight. There may be some splashing while naturally bathing but should not be a concerning amount.
Please do not test this by using your portable handheld shower head on the seams of the glass or by facing your shower head in the direction of the glass. Your handheld will simulate a water hose and in that event no shower enclosure can guarantee that no water will spill out onto your bathroom.
