The finest frame-less enclosures:

Materials:
All complex frame-less enclosures should be manufactured with 1/2" glass.

It is not advisable to mix glass thickness on any given enclosure. A seller who advocates a 3/8” door and ½” panel may be doing so to compensate for lower quality hinges, which lack the capacity to carry a ½” door.

Glass: Starphire Ultra-Clear
Made with a proprietary low-iron formulation, Starphire ultra-clear glass by PPG is the industry’s clearest, most transparent glass. Unlike conventional clear glass, which gets darker and greener as it becomes thicker, the clarity of Starphire glass actually intensifies, .

Hinges, Handles, Fittings: Hardware should be solid brass and of the highest quality. 12mm doors require 150lb hinges. 

A frameless glass enclosure should never utilize “U” channel. A properly templated, manufactured and installed enclosure should be directly bonded to the substraight.

Proper Height: Enclosure height should always be above the showerhead, typically 84” on a standard shower and 72” on a tub enclosure.
