Start With Your Space

Before choosing a style, take note of your room’s dimensions, door swing clearance, and the placement of nearby fixtures like the vanity or toilet. A good fit ensures smooth operation and avoids awkward gaps.

Best Options by Layout

Small bathrooms benefit from sliding or bypass doors since they don’t swing outward.
Medium and larger spaces can accommodate hinged or pivot doors, offering a clean, open feel.
For unique layouts, options like neo-angle doors or custom steam enclosures ensure every angle lines up perfectly.

Glass & Hardware That Match Your Style

Clear glass opens up the room visually, while frosted or patterned finishes add privacy. Hardware choices—matte black, chrome, or brushed nickel—help tie everything together.

Custom or Standard?

Standard doors work for common openings, but custom doors deliver a precision fit and higher-end look, especially for older homes or non-standard layouts.

What is a Steam Shower?

A steam shower is an enclosed space that features a steam generator, allowing you to enjoy warm, moisture-rich steam in addition to a regular shower. Unlike standard showers, steam enclosures require specific sealing to trap the steam while maintaining ventilation control.

Benefits of a Steam Shower

• Health & Wellness – Steam showers promote relaxation, improve circulation, and relieve muscle tension.
• Skin & Respiratory Benefits – Steam opens pores for a deeper cleanse and helps clear sinuses for easier breathing.
• Energy Efficiency – Unlike a traditional shower, which uses gallons of water per minute, a steam shower only requires a few gallons for a full session.
• Luxury & Home Value – Installing a steam shower enhances your bathroom’s aesthetics and can increase your home’s resale value.

Things to Consider Before Installing a Steam Shower

• Space & Ventilation – A proper steam enclosure is necessary to contain moisture while allowing ventilation to prevent excess humidity.
• Shower Door Selection – A high-quality, sealed glass shower door is essential for keeping steam inside.
• Plumbing & Electrical Requirements – A steam generator must be installed correctly and connected to the right plumbing and power sources.

Maintenance & Cleaning

Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your steam shower in top condition:

• Preventing Mold & Mineral Buildup – Wiping down surfaces and ensuring proper ventilation minimizes moisture-related issues.
• DFI Glass Coating for Easy Maintenance – Our DFI glass coating repels water, reduces buildup, and makes cleaning effortless, ensuring your shower door stays crystal clear and protected.

Is a Steam Shower Right for You?

If you’re looking for a spa-like experience at home and have the space and budget to accommodate it, a steam shower can be a great investment. However, proper planning is key to ensuring the best results.

A steam shower can elevate your bathroom’s comfort and functionality, but selecting the right shower door and enclosure is just as important as choosing the steam system itself.

How should the glass be Cleaned?

For best results, we recommend rinsing the shower enclosure with clean water and wipe down any remaining droplets. You may also towel dry the surface or use a squeegee. Once a month, we also recommend wetting the shower enclosure and using a nylon body puff to go over the surface until clean and smooth. Then rinse and wipe down any remaining droplets.

Can the Diamon-Fusion® coating be washed away?

Absolutely not! Diamon-Fusion® permanently bonds to the glass, so the coating cannot be washed away. As long as no abrasive cleaners or alkali products are used to clean the glass, the Diamon-Fusion® coating will continue to help reduce the buildup of microbes.

What Are Abrasive Cleaners?

Abrasive cleaners contain harsh particles or chemicals designed to scrub away dirt and grime through friction. While they are effective for tough cleaning jobs, they can scratch the glass surface and wear down protective coatings like Diamon-Fusion®.

Examples of abrasive cleaners to avoid:

• Scouring powders (e.g., Comet, Ajax)
• Abrasive scrubbing pads or steel wool
• Cleansers with granules or grit
• Baking soda pastes used with vigorous scrubbing
• Hard-bristle brushes

What Are Alkali Products?

Alkali (or alkaline) products contain high pH levels, making them effective at cutting through grease and soap scum. However, their harsh chemical properties can break down the molecular structure of protective coatings over time.

Examples of alkali-based products to avoid:

• Ammonia-based cleaners (e.g., Windex with Ammonia)
• Bleach-containing products
• Strong degreasers (e.g., oven cleaners, industrial-strength cleaners)
• Drain cleaners
• High-pH soaps and detergents

Recommended Cleaning Methods

To safely clean your Diamon-Fusion®-treated glass and maintain its protective benefits, use the following:

1. Mild, pH-neutral cleaners: Look for glass cleaners labeled as “non-abrasive” and “ammonia-free.”
2. Diluted vinegar solutions: A mild mixture of white vinegar and water (50/50 ratio) can help dissolve minor buildup without harming the coating.
3. Soft cleaning tools: Use microfiber cloths, soft sponges, or a nylon body puff to gently clean the surface.
4. Water and squeegee: Once a month rinsing with clean water and wiping down with a squeegee can prevent buildup before it starts.
