Luxury villa bathroom with a custom walk-in shower glass installation

Choose the Right Shower Glass Configuration

Walk-in fixed screens are the cleanest, most modern option and require no door. Hinged enclosures suit small to mid-size bathrooms. Sliding doors are perfect where swing clearance is limited. Full options on our shower enclosures page.

Glass & Hardware

10mm tempered safety glass is standard; 12mm for very wide panels or pivot doors. Hardware finishes: chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, brushed gold. PVD coatings outperform powder coat in humid bathrooms.

Why Nano Coating Matters for Dubai Shower Glass

Dubai water is exceptionally hard. Without a hydrophobic nano coating (Diamond Fusion, EnduroShield), mineral deposits etch into the glass within months. The AED 300–500 upgrade is non-negotiable.

Installation Timeline

Survey: 20 minutes. Fabrication: 4–7 days. Installation: single visit, 2–4 hours. Cure time before use: 24 hours. Pair a new enclosure with a matching custom mirror for a coordinated bathroom finish.
