Glass shower hardware and fixings
A frameless shower enclosure relies on the hardware as much as the glass. The correct fittings help the panels open, close, align and seal as intended while giving the finished enclosure a clean architectural appearance.
Our shower hardware category is designed around the components commonly required for custom shower screens and enclosures.
- Shower door hinges and glass-to-wall hinges
- Glass-to-glass hinges and clamps
- Shower brackets and panel clamps
- Pull handles, knobs and door hardware
- U channels and shower thresholds
- Shower seals, gaskets and bottom wipes
- Support and bracing bars with connectors
- Sliding shower door hardware where available
Always match the fitting to the glass thickness, panel configuration and fixing substrate. Door weight, opening direction and the number and position of hinges can also affect the required specification.
02 · Balustrades & outdoor
Glass balustrade, balcony and outdoor fixings
Glass balustrade hardware needs to be selected as part of the complete guarding system. Depending on the design, glass can be secured using clamps, channels, spigots, adapters, posts or other engineered components.
For outdoor applications, material and finish become particularly important because fittings can be exposed to weather and moisture.
- Glass balustrade clamps
- Base channels and channel accessories
- Spigots and glass adapters
- Glass connectors and support brackets
- Posts, handrails and related components
- Balcony and terrace glazing hardware
- Pool and outdoor glass fencing components
For balustrades, balconies and guarding systems, the hardware must be compatible with the glass specification, substrate, system design and applicable project requirements. Do not select components on appearance alone.
03 · Interiors & profiles
Interior glass fittings, profiles and architectural hardware
Create clean, practical glass partitions, doors, shelves, cabinets and displays with hardware that complements the glass rather than overwhelming it.
Partitions & profiles
Profiles, U channels, flat bars, angles and other architectural sections can be used to retain, frame or finish interior glass installations.
- Partition profiles
- U channels and glazing profiles
- Flat bar and angle profiles
- Glass connectors and joints
Shelving & cabinet hardware
Use compact glass shelf supports, cabinet hinges, knobs, standoffs and related fittings for furniture, display and storage applications.
- Glass shelf brackets and supports
- Cabinet hinges and knobs
- Standoff fixings
- Glass-to-wall and glass-to-glass connectors
Glass doors & screens
Hardware for interior glass doors can include hinges, handles, locks, patch fittings and door-closing components depending on the system.
- Glass door hinges
- Pull handles and knobs
- Locks and latches
- Patch fittings and closers
Minimal architectural detailing
For contemporary interiors, the smallest components can have a major visual effect. Choose finishes and profiles that work with the wider design scheme.
- Chrome and stainless finishes
- Black and contemporary finishes where available
- Low-profile connectors
- Coordinated handles, clamps and brackets
04 · Tools & consumables
Glass tools, installation equipment and consumables
Good glass installation depends on more than the visible hardware. The right handling equipment, drills, abrasives, sealants and protection products can make fabrication and installation safer and more controlled.
- Glass drills and diamond drilling accessories
- Glass cutters and specialist hand tools
- Diamond wheels, sanding and polishing products
- Glass suction lifters and handling equipment
- Measuring and installation accessories
- Silicone, adhesives and bonding products
- Cleaning and surface-care products
- Protection materials, wipes and consumables
Check that a tool, abrasive, adhesive or sealant is suitable for the glass, substrate and intended application before use. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety requirements.
Choosing your hardware
Match the fitting to the glass and the application
The most important specification is not simply how a fitting looks. It needs to be compatible with the glass thickness, panel arrangement, fixing location, load and environment.
| Check first | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Glass thickness | Hinges, clamps, channels, seals and other fittings are commonly designed for specific glass thickness ranges. |
| Application | A shower screen, balustrade, internal partition and outdoor installation have different hardware requirements. |
| Panel arrangement | Door position, glass-to-glass joints, corners, fixed panels and openings affect the fittings required. |
| Substrate | Wall, floor, ceiling, post and structural fixing points need to be suitable for the selected hardware. |
| Environment | Wet rooms and external installations can require materials and finishes appropriate to moisture and exposure. |
| Finish | Coordinate hinges, handles, clamps, channels and other visible fittings for a consistent finished appearance. |
If you are replacing an existing fitting, photograph the current hardware and note the glass thickness, dimensions and fixing arrangement. This is often the quickest way to identify a suitable replacement or alternative.

How to order
Get the right glass fitting first time
- Tell us the application. For example: shower screen, balustrade, glass door, partition, shelving or outdoor glazing.
- Confirm the glass. Provide the glass thickness and, where relevant, panel dimensions and whether the glass is already drilled.
- Describe the fixing. Tell us whether the fitting is wall-to-glass, glass-to-glass, floor mounted, post mounted or channel based.
- Choose the finish. Coordinate visible hardware with the wider project where required.
- Check the specification. Review the product's glass thickness range, fixing method, load information and environmental suitability before purchase.
- Ask if you're unsure. A photograph, sketch or drawing can help identify the appropriate type of fitting.
Professional installation
Hardware is part of the complete glass system
A fitting can look right and still be unsuitable if the glass, substrate or installation method is wrong. Treat the hardware, glass and fixing structure as one system when planning your project.
Check product compatibility
Confirm the glass thickness, fixing position, dimensions and any stated load or application limits before ordering.
Plan the installation
Consider access, drilling requirements, fixing points, seals, movement and how the finished glass will be supported.
Use suitable fixings
Structural fixing into the correct substrate is essential. Where safety-critical glazing is involved, use an appropriately qualified installer.
