Bypass Sliding Glass Shower Doors

Two glass shower doors that slide from a top-mounted concealed roller system within a steel or metal header. There are typically two metal wall jambs for support and a bottom rail to keep water where it belongs. The towel bar and handle-knob options will vary based on the manufacturer but most bypass sliding glass shower doors have either two towel bars or a towel bar on one side and a knob on the other. The edges of the glass panels are typically polished heavy glass without a metal frame.

At Elite Showers, we often use this configuration when a client wants to upgrade a guest bathroom and get rid of the shower curtain look or cheap builder-grade sliding doors. This is one of our most popular guest bath options in 2021.

Features

Customizable

Today, a “standard” bypass even has several options to customize your shower enclosure, from the height, the hardware finish, the hardware selections, the glass thickness, and even the glass type. Return panels and inline panels can also be added to bypass shower doors. Each shower door manufacturer offers varying standard options and our team at Elite Showers in Dallas will guide you to pick the perfect option for you.

Applications

These are common on bathtubs but are also an option for a walk-in shower where a swinging door may not work due to space limitations. Typically, you will find these in second baths or kids’ bathrooms.
