What this service covers.
A fixed glass panel, the European-style walk-in screen, is the simplest shower enclosure there is: one sheet of tempered glass, no door to swing, nothing to go wrong. It also means less hardware to clean and less to wear out over time.
We design and install fixed panels and European-style screens, made to your opening. If an existing enclosure is leaking at the base or the walls, we can also redo the caulking and silicone.
The simplest enclosure, and the easiest to live with.
-
Nothing to fail
No hinges, no rollers, no closer. A fixed screen is one panel and its supports, which is why it is the lowest-maintenance option.
-
Very easy to clean
Minimal hardware means minimal places for soap and mineral deposits to collect.
-
Open, walk-in feel
Without a door the shower reads as part of the bathroom rather than a separate cubicle.
-
Re-sealing too
If your existing enclosure leaks at the base or walls, we can redo the caulking and silicone. A cracked or chipped tempered panel cannot be repaired, so it is replaced with a new panel made to measure.
Measured, made and fitted.
Our designer measures and draws up your job, the glass is made to those measurements by trusted local glass manufacturers such as Garibaldi Glass, and one of our own installation teams fits it.

Site measure
Our designer measures the opening, checks how the base drains away from the open end, and agrees the panel length and support detail with you.
- 02
Fixed written quote
You get an itemised quote covering glass, hardware, finish and installation, with the options priced separately so you can see exactly what each choice costs.

Made to your measurements
The panel is cut, tempered and edge-polished to those measurements by a trusted local glass manufacturer, and the supports are prepared in your chosen finish.

Installation & walkthrough

What clients said after we finished.
They were excellent. They arrived on time. Did really good work. Cleaned up after themselves. Went above and beyond looking after another shower door we were having trouble with. I would highly recommend this company. Thank you so much for the great service!
Alpha Glass was really phenomenal in all aspects of us working with them from design to installation to responding to anything we needed. We are very grateful for their help and recommend them to anyone!! Thank you Alpha Glass for your help in making our home complete- thank you for helping us with our stairway railings and glass, all of our bathroom glass, and more-!
Alpha Glass provided exceptional service, demonstrating attentiveness throughout the project. They clearly explained available finishing and design options, along with project timelines. Multiple quotations were provided to accommodate our budget, and a quality check was performed post-installation. Furthermore, the installers were professional and maintained a clean work environment. We are entirely satisfied.
Common questions about fixed panels and European-style screens.
Something not covered here? Call +1-778-69-ALPHA (25742) or send us a photo of the job.
Will a walk-in screen keep water off the bathroom floor?
It does when the panel is long enough and the shower base is set up to drain away from the opening. Getting that right is a measuring question, and it is what we check on site.
Can a cracked glass panel be repaired?
No. Tempered glass cannot be repaired: if it breaks it shatters into small pieces, and a chip or crack cannot be patched safely. The panel is replaced with a new one made to measure, and where the existing hardware is sound we reuse it.
My enclosure leaks at the base. What can you do?
Usually that is the caulking or silicone, not the glass. We can remove the old seal and redo it, and if the leak comes from how the base drains we will tell you honestly.
Can a fixed panel have a return or a hinged flipper?
Yes. A short return panel or a small hinged flipper at the end can help contain splash in a narrower walk-in. We will suggest it at the measure if your layout needs it.
