📏 Tempered Glass Shower Panel Measurement Process

Getting the right fit for your custom frosted glass shower panel starts with accurate measurements—and we make that process simple. Whether you’re ordering a full-height glass shower partition or a half-height decorative panel, every piece is made to your exact dimensions.

Here’s how to measure for your shower panel:

• Decide Placement: Determine if your panel will mount to the wall, floor, or both. Most panels are supported using a metal U-channel system that secures one long edge and one short edge of the glass.
• Measure the Opening: Use a metal tape measure to record the total width and height of the area. Measure at three points (top, middle, bottom), and use the smallest measurement to ensure proper fit.
• Account for Edges & Hardware: Let us know if you’d like a chiseled edge (irregular, hand-cut) or a straight edge (clean-cut). We’ll adjust your specs to accommodate edge detailing and mounting hardware.
• Submit Your Dimensions: Include your final measurements in your online order or quote request. We’ll create a custom scale drawing for approval, perfectly re-designed to your specs.

⚠️ Important Note:

All shower glass is tempered and cannot be cut or altered after fabrication. Please double-check your measurements before placing your order. Need assistance? Contact us—we’re happy to help review your specs before production begins.

Glass Types & Effects

At Sans Soucie Art Glass, every tempered glass shower panel is available in a variety of effects to match your style and privacy needs. Choose from our 1D, 2D, 3D Solid, or 3D Enhanced sandblast techniques—each handcrafted to bring depth, shading, or sculpted detail to the design. Pair your effect with a frosted, clear, or gluechip glass background to control how much privacy or light diffusion you want.

Glass Thickness & Durability

Most tempered glass shower panels are made with ⅜″ thick glass, offering the ideal balance of strength and elegance. For larger panels or added weight, we use ½″ thick glass to ensure durability and stability. No matter the size, every panel is made from tempered safety glass, designed to resist impact and meet industry safety standards for residential and commercial showers.

Surface Protection & Maintenance

To keep your tempered glass shower panel looking flawless, we recommend using a squeegee after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup. Our frosted glass designs are always etched on the outside surface, keeping the inside smooth and easy to clean. For added protection, consider using a surface treatment like Rain-X, CRL TPC, or EnduroShield to help repel water and make cleaning even easier—though these don’t replace regular squeegeeing.

Professional Installation or DIY

Installing a tempered glass shower panel is a straightforward process, but we always recommend hiring a professional glass installer for the best results. Each panel is mounted using a metal U-channel, which is secured to the wall and floor to hold the glass in place. If you’re experienced with DIY projects, installation is manageable with accurate measurements, the right tools, and attention to detail—but for peace of mind, a local glazier ensures a safe, level, and long-lasting fit.
