Safety-Tempered Shower Glass Doors & Panels | Certified for Bathroom Use

Product Name: Shower Glass / Shower Enclosure Glass

Core Definition: Glass products specifically designed for shower spaces, featuring safety, water resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetic appeal. They are the core component of integrated shower cabins or shower partitions.

I. Core Characteristics & Standard Requirements

1. Mandatory Safety Standards:

①Must use safety glass: Both Chinese National Standards (GB) and mainstream international standards mandate that shower glass must be tempered or laminated glass.

②Safety certification marking: Compliant products must bear a permanent CCC certification mark (China) or an equivalent safety certification mark.

2. Excellent Physical Properties:

①High Strength & Impact Resistance: Withstands accidental impacts during daily use.

②Superior Thermal Shock Resistance: Tolerates rapid temperature changes during showering, preventing thermal breakage.

③Surface Performance: Requires good cleanability, resistance to water spots,   and durability against cleaning agents.

3. Design Compatibility:

①Must perfectly match hardware components (hinges, rollers, handles) to ensure smooth operation and long-term stability.

②Primary Application Forms: Straight-line partitions, 90-degree corner enclosures, diamond-shaped enclosures, curved enclosures, square enclosures, sliding doors, swing doors, etc.

II. Detailed Industry-Standard Dimensions, Thickness & Tolerances

Shower glass specifications are highly customizable but follow these general industry standards.

1. Standard Thickness

*Note: Thickness tolerance is typically ±0.2mm (for 6-8mm) or ±0.3mm (for 10-12mm).

2. Common Standard Sizes

Dimensions are directly related to the shower shape and opening style.

*Note: The above are common glass sizes for pre-configured shower enclosures. Custom sizes can exceed these ranges but are limited by tempering furnace size (generally max. edge ≤ 2440mm or 3000mm).

III. Standard Colors, Surface Treatments & Functional Options

IV. Key Technical Considerations & Purchasing Advice

1. Safety is Paramount: Certification & Spontaneous Breakage:

①Always verify the permanent safety certification mark on the glass (e.g., CCC).

②Understand that tempered glass carries a very low risk of spontaneous breakage (~0.3%). For applications where safety is paramount or for public spaces, specify Heat-Soaked Tempered Glass, which reduces this risk to below ~0.01%.

2. Compatibility of Glass & Hardware System:

①The glass thickness and the precision of its holes/notches directly determine its fit with hinges, rollers, and handles, affecting longevity and performance. A high-quality hardware system is key to smooth, quiet, and durable operation.

3. Installation Determines Success:

①Professional installation is critical. The glass must be perfectly vertical and level, with all connectors sharing the load evenly. Proper waterproof sealing between the glass and walls (using high-quality silicone structural sealant) is the final defense against leaks.

4. Maintenance Guidelines:

①Use dedicated glass cleaners and soft cloths. Avoid strong acids, alkalis, or abrasive cleaners.

②Periodically check the tightness of hardware and the integrity of sealants.

Summary：

Shower glass is a precise integration of safety, function, and aesthetics. 8mm thick tempered glass is widely considered the current "gold standard" in the market, offering the optimal balance of safety, feel, and cost. Upgrading to Ultra-Clear glass significantly enhances visual quality, while an Easy-Clean coating greatly improves the user experience. When selecting, consumers should follow the principle: "First, verify safety certification; second, choose thickness and material; third, select hardware and design." Prioritize brands or suppliers that offer professional measurement and installation services to ensure the final result is both safe and reliable for long-term use.
