Bypass Sliding Door
Two glass panels glide past each other on a top rail — best for 44″–72″ openings and tub conversions.
Space-Saving Glass That Glides, Not Swings
When a hinged door would hit your vanity or won’t clear a wide opening, sliding glass is the answer. Two panels glide on a slim top rail — nothing arcs into the room, and no space is wasted. It’s the go-to choice for tub-to-shower conversions and busy family bathrooms.
Every sliding enclosure is built frameless in 3/8″ tempered safety glass, cut and fabricated in our own Ottawa shop, and installed by our team — backed by our 2-year workmanship guarantee. It’s part of the reason we complete more than 1,000 shower installations a year.

Usually yes — that’s their advantage. Because nothing swings out, sliding doors work where a hinged door would hit a vanity or toilet.
Properly measured and installed, no. We confirm final site measurements before fabricating and seal the fixed edges; the panel overlap and bottom sweep manage splash.
Our frameless sliders use a slim top rail and minimal hardware — far less to clean than a framed unit. A quick weekly wipe keeps the rollers gliding.
