Custom Shower Doors Explained
What makes a shower door custom?
A custom shower door is measured and configured specifically for the bathroom where it will be installed, rather than relying on a predetermined enclosure size.
The glass dimensions, opening system, fixed panels, hardware and finishes can therefore respond to the actual space. This is particularly useful in renovations, larger bathrooms, unusual openings and projects where the enclosure needs to integrate precisely with the surrounding design.

When Custom Makes Sense
Some bathrooms simply do not fit a standard box
Custom becomes valuable when the room, opening or design introduces conditions that a fixed-size enclosure cannot resolve cleanly. These are some of the most common scenarios.
Limited door clearance
Sanitaryware, vanities or circulation space restrict how far a conventional hinged door can open.
Existing renovations
Tiles, walls and existing fixtures are already in place and the enclosure must work around what exists.
Larger shower spaces
Oversized openings may require multiple glass panels or a specific support and door configuration.
Unusual wall conditions
Walls and openings may not be perfectly square, particularly in existing buildings and renovations.
Design-specific requirements
Architects, designers or homeowners may need a particular panel layout, opening arrangement or visual result.
Choose the Configuration
The right door depends on how the room works
There is no single best shower-door configuration. Available space, door movement, glass layout and the intended aesthetic determine which system is most suitable.
Frameless
Frameless Shower Doors
Minimal framing for bathrooms where glass and architectural simplicity are part of the design.
Best suited to: clean, contemporary bathroom designs

Best suited to: larger open shower areas
Space Efficient
Sliding Shower Doors
Sliding systems allow access without requiring additional swing space outside the shower.

How Custom Works
The final measure matters
Bespoke glass needs to be based on the finished space. The process therefore moves from understanding the bathroom to confirming dimensions, configuration, hardware and installation requirements.
Understand the space
We review the bathroom layout, project stage, intended opening system and the design requirements before confirming the right route.
Final site measure
The actual installation dimensions are established so that the glass and configuration respond to the finished walls, openings and surrounding fixtures.
Configure the enclosure
Door movement, fixed panels, glass layout and suitable hardware are considered as one complete system.
Prepare the solution
The glass and required components are prepared according to the confirmed project specification.
Professional installation
The enclosure is fitted in the completed space with attention to alignment, hardware and the overall finished result.
Glass, Hardware & Finish
The enclosure is more than the glass
Glass panels, hinges, handles, brackets and profiles all need to work together as part of the selected configuration. Available specifications depend on the shower system and project requirements.
Glass layout
Door panels, fixed panels and supporting glass are determined by the opening and chosen configuration.
Hinges & brackets
Hardware is selected according to the glass system, required movement and structural arrangement.
Handles
Handle selection contributes to both usability and the final visual character of the enclosure.
Finishes
Finish availability varies by hardware and shower range and is confirmed as part of the specification.
Privacy detailing
Selected projects can incorporate suitable privacy treatments or detailing where the design requires it.
Real Installation Evidence
Custom becomes clearer when you see the space
Different bathrooms create different constraints. Real projects demonstrate how glass configuration, privacy, opening systems and hardware are applied in completed spaces.

Custom Shower Pricing
What affects the price of a custom shower door?
Made-to-measure projects are quoted according to the actual specification rather than one universal price. The major cost factors include:
Glass size and panel configuration
Larger or multi-panel enclosures require different specifications.
Opening system
Hinged, sliding, fixed and multi-panel systems differ in hardware.
Hardware and finish
The selected system and finish influence the final specification.
Installation conditions
Site access and installation complexity form part of the quote.
Custom Shower FAQs
Questions before you start
Practical answers to common questions before a made-to-measure shower moves into measurement and specification.
Are custom shower doors made to measure?
Yes. A made-to-measure shower enclosure is
configured from the actual dimensions and
requirements of the bathroom rather than a
predetermined standard product size.
When should I choose custom instead of a standard shower door?
Custom is particularly useful where openings are
non-standard, door clearance is restricted, the
bathroom has unusual wall conditions or the design
requires a specific glass and panel arrangement.
Does RONAL measure the bathroom before the shower is made?
Custom projects can include site measurement so the
enclosure can be specified according to the actual
installation dimensions of the finished space.
Can I have a frameless custom shower door?
Yes. Frameless shower doors are one of the
configurations available for suitable made-to-measure
shower projects.
Are custom sliding shower doors available?
Sliding configurations are available for suitable
projects and can be particularly useful where there
is limited clearance for a swinging shower door.
What should I send when requesting a quote?
Your project location, photographs of the bathroom
and approximate dimensions are a useful starting point.
Plans or drawings can also be supplied for new-build,
architectural or larger projects.
