Ideal for straight openings with a bench, curb return, or tiled obstruction.
Built frameless in tempered safety glass, cut and fabricated in our own Ottawa shop and professionally installed — backed by our 2-year workmanship guarantee.
Select a configuration, enter the measurements that apply to that layout, then choose glass and hardware options. This keeps the original Centennial workflow while making it easier to expand.
An inline swing door with a notched panel is a straight-line door-and-panel layout where one fixed panel has a rectangular notch cut from its base to clear a bench, curb, or tiled ledge.
The notch lets the glass sit down over a built-in bench, seat, or curb without leaving a gap. Rather than stopping the panel short, we cut it to wrap the obstruction for a clean, finished fit.
In most cases, yes — tempered glass is cut and notched to shape in our shop before it’s tempered. We measure the bench or curb precisely so the notch matches the tile.
Every enclosure is made from thick frameless tempered safety glass, paired with your choice of hardware finish — chrome, brushed nickel, matte black and more — and matching hinges. For help deciding, see our frameless vs. framed guide.
