Shower Glass Panels in Greater Seattle

Fixed panels are the simplest possible shower enclosure — no hinges, no door, just glass placed where it needs to be. For walk-in showers and splash-guard applications, this is often the most architectural choice. The absence of moving parts means there’s nothing to maintain mechanically over the life of the install, and the visual read is unmistakably contemporary.

Most fixed-panel walk-ins we install fall into one of three configurations: a single tall panel attached to one wall with the floor sloped to drain (the cleanest possible read), a single panel with a small return at the floor edge for additional water containment on tighter showers, and a floor-to-ceiling channel-mounted panel where the glass slots into a low-profile track at floor and ceiling for full structural support without exposed clip hardware.

Splash guards are the smaller cousin — short panels mounted at the tub or shower edge to block spray without committing to a full enclosure. Common in primary baths where the shower is over a tub and a curtain feels too informal but a full enclosure is overkill. Splash guards typically run 60–66 inches tall and are anchored either with a base channel and clips or directly to the wall with through-glass hardware.

For walk-ins specifically, the floor slope matters as much as the glass placement. The shower floor needs to slope toward the drain at a sufficient angle to keep water from pooling at the edges; without proper slope, even a perfect panel placement won’t contain spray. We confirm the slope at the in-home measure and flag it before fabrication if the existing floor needs adjustment by your tile contractor.
