Custom Shower Glass: Choosing the Right Glass for Your Dream Shower
A custom shower glass enclosure is one of the best ways to elevate your bathroom, and the glass you choose plays a major role in the finished look. From crystal-clear low-iron glass to protective coatings that make cleaning easier, the right options can enhance both the beauty and longevity of your shower.
At Atkinson’s Mirror & Glass, we custom-build shower enclosures to fit your space, style, and budget. Whether you’re looking for a modern frameless shower or a more decorative design, we offer a variety of glass options to help bring your vision to life.
Standard Clear Glass
Standard clear glass is the most common choice for shower enclosures. Although it appears clear, it naturally contains iron, which gives the glass a subtle green tint. The thicker the glass, the more noticeable this green hue becomes—especially along the exposed edges.
In many bathrooms this isn’t a concern, but if you’ve invested in beautiful white, gray, or light-colored tile, the green cast can slightly change the way those colors appear.


Low-Iron Starphire® Glass
If you want the clearest possible view of your tile and shower design, Starphire® low-iron glass is an outstanding upgrade.
By removing much of the iron during the manufacturing process, Starphire® glass offers exceptional clarity with virtually no green tint. Your tile colors remain true, the edges of the glass look crystal clear, and your entire shower feels brighter, cleaner, and more luxurious.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that upgrading to Starphire® glass doesn’t add a significant amount to the overall cost of a custom shower. It’s one of the most impactful upgrades you can make, transforming the look of your bathroom while allowing your carefully selected tile and finishes to be the focal point.
Keep Your Shower Looking New with Diamon-Fusion®
A beautiful shower deserves protection. That’s why Atkinson’s Mirror & Glass offers Diamon-Fusion® protective coating on our shower glass.
Diamon-Fusion® is an invisible coating that bonds to the surface of the glass, filling microscopic pores that normally trap minerals, soap scum, and hard water deposits. Water beads up and rolls off more easily, helping prevent buildup before it starts.
The benefits include:
• Easier routine cleaning
• Reduced hard water spots and soap scum buildup
• Greater resistance to staining and etching
• Glass that stays cleaner and looks newer longer
While no shower is completely maintenance-free, Diamon-Fusion® significantly reduces the time and effort needed to keep your shower sparkling.

Custom Shower Glass Designed for Your Home
No two bathrooms are exactly alike, and neither are the shower enclosures we build. At Atkinson’s Mirror & Glass, every shower is custom measured and fabricated to ensure a perfect fit.
We offer a wide selection of shower glass options, including:
• Standard clear glass
• Starphire® low-iron glass
• Frosted and obscure privacy glass
• Decorative patterned glass
• Frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures
• Custom hardware finishes to complement your bathroom design
Whether your style is modern, traditional, or somewhere in between, we’ll help you choose the perfect combination of glass, hardware, and protective coating to create a shower that’s both beautiful and built to last.
