Frosted Glass Aluminium Shower Doors for House

Product Overview

The frosted glass is crafted via two premium processes: acid etching (creating a smooth, uniform matte finish) or sandblasting (delivering a textured, tactile surface), both of which diffuse light while obscuring visibility. Paired with lightweight yet durable aluminum frames (treated for moisture resistance), these doors create a spa-like atmosphere in any bathroom, elevating aesthetics without sacrificing practicality. They are particularly popular among homeowners seeking to maximize space (no bulky curtains), improve hygiene (easy to clean), and enhance light diffusion (making small bathrooms feel larger)—a versatile solution for master baths, family bathrooms, and guest suites.

Product Features

Privacy & Light Diffusion: Acid-etched or sandblasted frosted glass provides 80% light transmission (compared to 90% for clear glass) while ensuring complete privacy—even when the shower is in use. Unlike frosted film (which peels off over time), the glass’s frosted finish is permanent, resisting scratches and fading. It also diffuses harsh bathroom lighting, creating a soft, warm glow that enhances the spa-like ambiance.

Moisture Resistance: Aluminum frames with 1.4mm thickness (6063-T5 alloy) undergo a powder-coating process (RAL 9003 white, RAL 9005 black, or custom colors) that creates a barrier against rust and mildew. The frames are also fitted with EPDM rubber seals (resistant to water and chemical degradation) along the edges, preventing water from leaking onto bathroom floors and reducing slip hazards.

Easy Maintenance: Frosted glass has a non-porous surface that shows 50% fewer water spots and soap scum than clear glass—thanks to its matte finish, which hides minor residue. Cleaning requires only mild vinegar (diluted 1:1 with water) or dish soap and a soft cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners (e.g., scrub brushes) that can scratch the frosted surface. The aluminum frame needs only occasional wiping to remove moisture, with no repainting or refinishing required.

Safety Design: Tempered glass panels (8mm - 10mm thick) meet ANSI Z97.1 and EN 12150 safety standards. If broken, they shatter into small, rounded pieces (≤ 5mm in size) that pose no sharp hazards—critical for family bathrooms with children or pets. The glass also undergoes heat soak testing (630°C for 2 hours) to eliminate nickel sulfide inclusions, preventing spontaneous breakage.

Space-Saving Options: Available in sliding (bypass) or hinged designs. Sliding doors are ideal for small bathrooms (saving 30% of floor space compared to hinged doors), while hinged doors (with 90° or 180° swing) suit larger master baths. Both designs feature soft-close mechanisms to prevent slamming and reduce wear.

Product Applications

Master Bathrooms: Create a luxurious, private shower space that complements high-end fixtures (e.g., rainfall showerheads, marble countertops). Frosted glass in a sandblasted texture adds a premium touch, while black aluminum frames pair with modern black hardware (e.g., faucets, towel bars) for a cohesive look.

Small Bathrooms: Enhance light diffusion to make compact spaces (≤ 5m²) feel larger and brighter. Sliding frosted glass doors eliminate the need for curtain rods, freeing up wall space for storage (e.g., floating shelves) or decorative elements (e.g., plants).

Family Bathrooms: Combine safety (tempered glass) and practicality (easy cleaning) for busy households. The moisture-resistant aluminum frame resists mold growth from frequent use, while the frosted glass ensures privacy for both children and adults.

Guest Bathrooms: Make a lasting impression with a sleek, low-maintenance shower door. Neutral-colored frames (e.g., white, silver) match most guest bathroom decor, and the frosted glass hides minor water spots—ideal for spaces that aren’t cleaned daily.

FAQ

Q: How do I prevent soap scum buildup on frosted glass?

A: Wipe the door with a squeegee immediately after each use to remove excess water—this reduces soap scum formation by 70%. Once a week, apply a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then wipe with a soft cloth. For stubborn scum, use a non-abrasive sponge (e.g., microfiber) and avoid harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia) that can damage the frosted finish.

Q: Can the aluminum frame be customized in color?

A: Yes, frames are available in standard colors (white RAL 9003, black RAL 9005, silver RAL 9006) or custom powder-coated shades to match bathroom decor. Popular custom options include matte gray (RAL 7040) for modern bathrooms, bronze (RAL 8001) for traditional styles, and even pastel colors (e.g., light blue RAL 5012) for children’s bathrooms.

Q: Are these doors reversible for left/right opening?

A: Most hinged door models are reversible, with installation hardware (hinges, handles) included for both left and right swing orientations. Sliding doors are also reversible—they can be configured to slide left or right by adjusting the roller brackets. Our installation manual includes step-by-step instructions for reversing the door, or professional installers can handle it during setup.

Q: Do frosted glass doors require special hinges to support their weight?

A: No, the tempered glass panels (8mm - 10mm thick) weigh approximately 2.5kg/m², which is within the weight capacity of standard aluminum door hinges (supporting up to 10kg per hinge). Each door is fitted with 2 - 3 hinges (depending on height) that are reinforced with steel inserts for added strength, ensuring smooth operation and long-term durability.
