Frameless Enclosures

Frameless Enclosures Overview

Surrounds by SIGCO custom frameless showers provide the finishing touch to your bathroom’s design, adding function and allure to reflect your personal style. The combination of high quality fabricated heavy glass and superior shower hardware creates a secure enclosure that will last for years.

With countless design options you can create a shower that is truly unique.

There are many options available depending on the layout of your bathroom. You can view the configurations shown here to determine what will best suit your space.

Configurations

Door

For an opening less than 36” wide, a single door is a popular option. There are no additional panels. This enclosure can be built using either wall mount or pivot hinges, and the door may be hinged on the left or right.

Door Panel

Openings wider than 36” may require a stationary panel alongside the door. Depending on the size of the opening, there may be a panel on one or both sides of the door. Based on the configuration, hinging may be wall-to-glass or glass-to-glass.

Door and Dog-Leg

Showers with a seat or a knee wall are ideal for a door with a smaller or notched side panel.

Neo-Corner

Enclosures where the panels do not meet at a 90 degree angle are called neo-corners. They are usually corner enclosures, and require head support to provide mechanical strength.

Glass Types

Clear Glass

There are several glass options available for your custom enclosure. Our standard clear glass, available in 3/8” and 1/2”, is a popular choice for those seeking a classic appearance.

Starphire

Starphire glass, also available in 3/8” and 1/2”, has a low iron content which decreases the green tint characteristic of standard clear glass. This allows more light to pass through the glass, displaying the true color of your shower.

Obscure Glass

Krystal Rain, that provide alternatives to clear glass. Acid etch offers a consistent satin frosted look allowing light to pass through while obscuring what is behind the glass. Krystal Rain glass has a raised pattern that offers texture and privacy to an enclosure. It is also a low-iron product, providing a higher level of clarity than standard patterned glass.

Coated Glass

ShowerGuard®

ShowerGuard glass is a low maintenance product that helps keep your shower glass clean while preventing water and mineral buildup. Since ShowerGuard is applied to the glass during the manufacturing process, it is a permanent coating that does not need to be reapplied over time.

ClearShield®

ClearShield, an alternate low maintenance product, is a polymeric coating that is applied to the glass after it has been fabricated and tempered. Since ClearShield is applied at the end of the production process, it can be put onto almost any type of glass, including Starphire or our obscure glasses.
