Types of Frameless Glass
Elegance in a multitude of styles
Frameless shower glass can subtly complement your bathroom space or help make a bold, unique statement. “Ultra-clear” glass virtually disappears to create a clean, open aesthetic. For privacy, you may decide on decorative glass with featured textures, patterns, or colors. We can also help keep your shower clean with lifetime coatings that repel stains and corrosion. And, of course, all Drexler glass is safety tempered and shatter resistant. We would love to walk you through all of our glass choices and their attributes at our Midtown Atlanta showroom.

Some of our more popular decorative glass options include:
Low-Iron Glass
Crystal clear low-iron glass is the perfect choice for many frameless glass shower constructs. This premium glass is unique because of the virtual absence of the “green tint” – which can be seen in standard heavy bathroom glass. Low-iron glass is commonly chosen in settings where white tile or marble has been utilized and the desire is for the shower enclosure to “disappear” in order to achieve a purity of aesthetic and the cleanest lines. Any of these types of frameless glass will suit your home dreams.
VectraShield Glass
Standard shower glass may look and feel smooth, but under a microscope it’s actually pitted and porous. Hard water, soap scum, and minerals can penetrate the surface of the glass, causing it to “cloud” as they slowly etch into the surface. To guard against this wear and tear, VectraShield provides a permanent seal against stains and corrosion and comes with a lifetime warranty. Unlike most glass protection, which wears off periodically and has to be reapplied, VectraShield provides a permanent barrier. The protective coating is factory-applied to the surface of the glass in a controlled environment during manufacturing, becoming one with the surface of the glass. It repels water (hydrophobic) and oil (oleophobic), protecting against soap scum, body fats, dirt, and minerals that would otherwise cause heavy staining.
