Hardware in a frameless glass shower harmonizes all the elements in both the enclosure and the space. Choice of hardware plays a key role in the performance and overall look of frameless glass systems. From a practical and functional point of view, hardware provides structural support, keeping the enclosure as a whole upright and securely mounted. Other types of hardware support the overall usability of the shower itself.
From a stylish aspect, choice of hardware is an opportunity to accentuate the overall design continuity. Whether your design is simple and sleek or ornate and traditional, hardware options are a chance for your individualism to shine.
Structural components of frameless glass like hinges, clamps, and brackets help make sure the entire glass structure stays in place. Hinges like glass to glass hinges help doors open and close properly. Clamps connect glass panels together for added structure. Brackets serve as mounting structures that hold glass panels in place against the wall.
These highly functional pieces can be stylish and customized. Glass hinges can support varying degrees of opening. Materials and finishes can vary from corrosion resistant stainless steel to stylish brass and modern matte black. No matter your design preference, there’s hardware to support your aesthetic and necessary function.
Handles, knobs, and pulls are often overlooked in everyday life but are very functional. Almost every day you touch some form of handle, knob or pull. With that in mind, choice of handles and pulls should support ease of use and customization.
At State Wide Glass, our range of handles, knobs, and pulls does just that. Shapes include a simple D pull, a traditional colonial pull, or more modern square pulls. Popular finishes include chrome, steel, matte, black and nickel. From minimalist to decorative, there’s a design option to reflect the necessary style and functionality for both bathroom and office glass doors.
Hardware should look great and have longevity. After all, you are investing in the look and function of your glass. That’s why we recommend a variety of finishes and corrosion resistant options.
Environments prone to high moisture and humidity will cause hardware to corrode. We’d recommend hard like chrome, brushed nickel, or matte black to help resist moisture and wear in those spaces.
Did you know that hardware can protect the glass system too? By not directly touching the glass, impact and wear is minimized, lengthening the lifespan of the glass itself. This is especially important for high traffic areas and glass installed outdoors.
Glass hardware should reflect the style you want and the function you need with quality you can count on. Hardware of that caliber can only be installed and purchased from reputable vendors and glass experts that know their craft.
