Frequently Asked Questions

A frameless shower door is made of thick tempered glass without any metal framing, providing a sleek and modern look. On the other hand, a framed shower door has metal framing around the glass panels. Frameless doors offer a more open and spacious feel, while framed doors provide added support and stability.

Measuring for a frameless shower door or enclosure is crucial to ensure a proper fit. We recommend following our measurement guide, which provides step-by-step instructions on how to measure your space accurately. You can find the guide on our website under the "Measuring Guide" section.

Aston Bath specializes in high-quality frameless shower doors and enclosures. We offer a wide range of options, including sliding doors, alcove doors, and square enclosures.

Yes, Aston Bath shower doors are designed to fit most standard shower openings. However, it’s important to ensure your bathroom has the proper dimensions and wall conditions. Some models may require specific wall preparation, like smooth, level surfaces, so it's always best to review the installation instructions or consult a professional installer.

When selecting a shower tray and enclosure, remember that the enclosure’s advertised size only fits a completed alcove installation. Meaning, after the tray is installed, wall-board and tile will add thickness that reduces the usable opening. For instance, a tray listed as 36" x 46" is designed for an enclosure that finishes about 2" smaller on each side once the walls are completed, ensuring the glass panels sit properly on the tray’s curb.

To confirm the exact fit, check the Specifications section on the product page and download the Specifications PDF, which provides the detailed measurements for each model. Precise calculations are required.

Both the Nautis and Belmore are frameless swinging (hinged) shower doors, but they differ in how they accommodate wall alignment. Nautis uses clamps for installation, which requires the walls to be perfectly plumb, while Belmore uses a wall channel, allowing for adjustments on non-plumb wall installations.

The Coraline and Langham collections differ primarily in design and roller configuration. The Coraline line uses a frameless structure with a mix of large and small rollers, while the Langham line incorporates a semi-frameless build and four large rollers for consistent stability.

• Coraline vs. Langham: The Coraline has two large rollers and two smaller rollers, plus the StarCast protective coating to reduce water spotting and maintain glass clarity. The Langham, by contrast, uses four large rollers.
• Coraline XL vs. Langham XL: The Coraline XL is equipped with two large rollers and two small rollers, while the Langham XL uses four large rollers

Industry standard glass doors are 72" tall. While we have plenty of doors with this standard, we have seen an increased interest in our 80" tall shower doors. If you're worried about keeping water from escaping the top of your shower or offering a more luxurious feel to your bathroom, the 80” shower door deserves a closer look.

No. In years past, the frosting process of making our glass would exacerbate the natural green tint of glass. With the advent of new manufacturing processes, in mid-2024, all our frosted glass was converted to our current Ultra-Bright or Ultra-White product.

Each of Aston's shower doors should be installed according to the Installation Instructions and Owner's Manual, including installation of all seals specified. The seals not only help prevent water leakage from in and around the glass panels, they also help isolate the glass doors from contact with the shower walls to prevent breakage.

If you are attaching your shower door to a solid wood frame, you do not have to use the included anchors. However, we recommend using them because the anchors will grab onto more material like the mortar and tile as well as the wood they are screwed into.

Most of our shower door models offer up to six different colors of hardware.

• Chrome (CH) – A bright and glossy reflective silvery finish, just like you might see trim on your car.
• Stainless Steel (SS) – A brushed silver color, similar to brushed nickel or what you would see on your high-end kitchen appliances.
• Bronze or New Bronze (NBR) – A dark brown with a satin finish.
• Oil Rubbed Bronze (ORB) – An almost black, satin finish with highlights of gold.
• Matte Black (MB) – A flat black finish.
• Brushed Gold (BG) – A light brushed gold tone. Not to be confused with the darker almost bronze toned brushed gold on the market.

We no longer sell the darker, almost bronze, shade of our brushed gold hardware. However, we may still have some in stock. If you have a specific interest in this color, please contact us to see if it is available.

GS stands for "Glass Shelves." The shelving system offers more rigidity to the glass panel without the need for an overhead support bar. Upon choosing a GS shower door or enclosure, a 2-tiered shelving system will be included to store your soap or shampoo bottles making your shower space more functional.

Many of our shower door models are reversible. The models that are not reversible include our StarCast coating, which is only applied to one side of the glass. Those models have a label on one side of the glass that should face outward from the shower since the coated side does not have a label. These models can still be reversed, but the glass that is reversed will not benefit from the EZ clean features, unless you use an aftermarket product such as Enduro Shield. Frosted glass doors do not include StarCast, so they can always be reversed.The reversibility of our doors means that you have control over where you prefer to enter the shower, near the faucet, or away from it.
