Shower Doors
Sliding Shower Doors
Doors that travel on a track, including the two-panel bypass used in many alcove baths.
A sliding shower door, often called a bypass when two panels pass each other, stays in the plane of the opening. It is the usual request for an alcove shower or tub where a hinged door would swing into the room.
Bypass is a sliding layout, not a separate material. State the panel count. A three-panel slider is a different quote from a two-panel bypass.
Where it is specified
- Alcove showers and tubs
- Unit baths with limited floor clearance
- Plans that note bypass or sliding doors
Style names
Doors that fit this operation.
A style is listed here when its name or its collection includes this operation. Styles whose names omit the operation are included so they are not dropped, and the quote still has to say how the door moves.

Glass and hardware that can be named
- Domestic collections: 8 mm or 10 mm tempered glass. Eastern listings add clear or frosted.
- Hardware finishes named: chrome, brushed silver or nickel, matte black, and oil-rubbed bronze.
- Hardware material named: corrosion-resistant stainless or aluminum.
- Wall profiles for out-of-plumb adjustment are a stated feature of the domestic doors.
- GlassShield is the name of an optional film on the eastern collection, described as bonded to tempered glass so pieces stay together if the glass breaks.
- An import program is described as the same doors with a 14-to-16-week lead time. Confirm that lead time on the quote. It is not a promise on this site.
- The domestic copy says the glass is ANSI-certified tempered glass. The test report is not published here.
Confirm before pricing
- Malibu, Marla, Strata, and Ibiza do not state a single operation in the style name. Send bypass, single sliding, hinged, or pivot with the style.
- Import titles that differ only by the words home, hotel, or modern are not listed as separate products, because no separate size or hardware schedule was published.
- HX421-CH is the only model number printed on the import list that was reviewed.
- Opening width, height, and handing were not published as a catalog matrix. They still come from the drawings.

Questions
Before you price this item.
Is a bypass door a sliding door?
Yes. Bypass describes two panels that slide past each other. Say so on the quote if that is the layout.
What width should I send?
The finished opening width the door must cover, plus the height if the documents show it.
