U-channels are metal tracks shaped like the letter "U" that secure glass panels along a shower enclosure's floor, walls, or ceiling. Common in frameless showers, they provide a stable base without bulky framing. Aluminum U-channels are durable and corrosion-resistant, using silicone or adhesive for a secure fit. Their classic, stable setup makes them ideal for high-traffic commercial spaces. On the other hand, dry glaze U-channels use compression gaskets instead of adhesive, making installation faster and adjustments easier. This flexibility is perfect for residential or custom installations.

Shower saddles and water dam thresholds help keep water within the shower area, maintaining a dry, safe bathroom environment. Shower saddles are typically flat or slightly raised strips made from durable materials like stone or metal. They sit at the shower entrance to guide water back into the shower. Water dam thresholds are usually smaller and more flexible. They create a watertight seal along the threshold’s edge, making them ideal for curbless showers. Shower thresholds are available in a range of shapes, like half-round for guiding water flow and tapered designs for creating a slight incline to contain water. This makes them a practical option for frameless shower enclosures.

Shower headers and support bars are essential for stabilizing frameless shower enclosures, especially in larger designs where extra support is needed. Headers run horizontally across the top of the shower enclosure, adding strength and preventing glass panels from flexing. They come in various finishes and styles to match bathroom designs and glass thicknesses.

Support bars work alongside headers to stabilize individual glass panels, enhancing the structure's overall durability. Options include full shower support bar kits for complete setups, individual shower support bars to mix and match, and shower support bar brackets for flexible installation. Shower headers and support bars create a safe, long-lasting installation that preserves a frameless shower's sleek, open look, offering stability and style for both residential and commercial applications.
