There are many different approaches, everything from a glass door to a full glass enclosure.

Framed or frameless?
The least expensive approach is to creating a glass shower is to install a glass door, these doors and walk in shower stall are available as a framed unit or unframed. A framed unit utilizes glass sections or panels, the panels are joined together using metal hardware. A benefit of this kind of shower is the fact that the door is well sealed, thus avoiding the possibility of water escaping and flooding the surrounding floor. The only possible resistance that a consumer may have is the frame has a tendency to break up the symmetry of the installation.
Frameless glass showers in Monterey use very little metal. The panels as well as the door is attached directly to the wall, the hardware that is used is virtually impossible to notice. The glass that is used for frameless showers is heavier as there is no supporting frame.
Tempered glass:
As bathroom floors can be slippery, glass showers in Monterey are made using tempered glass. Tempered, or “safety” glass will not break into extremely sharp pieces, if it does break it simply shatters into harmless pebbles.
