Choose the door movement around the bathroom layout, then coordinate glass, hardware and site dimensions.
Sliding panels move along a track and do not need a hinged-door swing area. They suit room layouts where space in front of the shower is limited.
Confirm the clear entry width, panel overlap, handle position and access for track cleaning on the selected system.
A hinged door opens into a planned swing area. Check its path against the vanity, toilet, towel rails and bathroom entrance.
Agree the opening direction, usable entry and threshold with the project team. Accessibility depends on the complete bathroom layout and selected enclosure.
Clear glass gives open sightlines and a transparent appearance. Specify the safety-glazing construction and thickness for the selected enclosure.
Frosted, acid-etched or patterned finishes add privacy and diffuse light. The surface appearance is specified separately from the safety treatment.
A room plan helps us discuss the layout. Confirm final site dimensions and the selected hardware before custom glass is released for production.
Our factory team works with your finished-opening measurements and project drawings to coordinate the glass, hardware and surrounding fixtures.
For repeated rooms, identify mirrored layouts and any different shower bases or wall conditions. This helps keep the room schedule, quotation and production drawings aligned.
Record opening widths at the top, middle and bottom, heights on both sides, wall alignment and curb level after the relevant finishes are in place.[5]
Show the door movement, clear entry, fixed returns, vanity and toilet on the bathroom plan. Keep controls and cleaning access in the review.
Identify the hinge or roller system, glass thickness, door weight, support locations and fixing substrate. Use the selected hardware data and template.[4]
For hotels and apartments, include each room reference, handed layout and quantity. We coordinate the agreed enclosure schedule with your team before production.
Use this schedule to agree the enclosure specification for your project. Product choices and final limits are confirmed for the selected glass-and-hardware system.

| Specification field | Options / reference | Project confirmation |
|---|---|---|
| Enclosure configuration | Sliding, hinged, framed or frameless; fixed panels and returns. | Record layout, opening direction, frame/metal finish and clear entry on the room drawing. |
| Glass appearance | Clear or frosted/patterned appearance, specified separately from safety treatment. | Agree privacy level and the finish sample. Appearance alone does not establish safety performance.[2] |
| Catalog thickness · mm | 6, 8 and 10 mm are listed in the existing catalog. | Select by the actual enclosure system, panel size, support and hardware limits. Thickness is not a stand-alone safety rating.[4] |
| Heavy frameless reference | NGA discusses nominal 10 and 12 mm heavy frameless glass. | The manual excludes framed and thinner systems. This industry reference does not confirm every thickness as a Sibolla offer.[2] |
| U.S. safety-glazing classification | CPSC 16 CFR Part 1201: shower doors and enclosures are Category II (Class A). | Check applicable testing, certification and labeling for the specific supplied glass and destination.[1] |
| Glass dimensions and fabrication | Panel width × height in mm; edge finish; holes, notches and cut-outs. | Confirm the final fabrication drawing. Cutting, drilling and edge work are completed before tempering.[2] |
| Hardware compatibility | Hinge/roller model, permitted glass thickness, maximum door weight and width. | Match hinge quantity, fixings and the exact fabrication template to the chosen hardware; limits vary by model.[4] |
| Water-management details | Seals, sweeps, curb or track, drainage and showerhead position. | Coordinate the complete enclosure. Frameless assemblies manage splashing; they are not fully watertight.[2] |
| Product documentation | Glass product/manufacturer reference, thickness, applicable report and marking. | Where SGCC certification is specified, verify the actual product and manufacturing location against its label/directory scope.[3] |
The references explain specification fields and industry requirements. They do not certify all Sibolla products. Confirm the required evidence for the selected model and destination before ordering.

Source shower enclosures for villas, apartments and hotels through Sibolla, a one-stop project supplier with its own factory and specialist production partners. We coordinate finished openings, wall alignment, door clearance and hardware with your project team.
Our shower glass systems include frameless and framed enclosures, sliding shower doors, corner units, and bathtub screens. Each product is designed for durability, installation efficiency, and long-term performance.
With 19 years of building material supply experience, a 20,000㎡ showroom in Foshan, and multiple manufacturing partners, Sibolla Building helps architects, builders, and contractors source high-quality shower glass products with stable supply and export-ready packaging.
Planning shower enclosures for a building project? These questions cover product selection, site coordination and the information our team needs before production.
Use finished dimensions after the relevant wall and floor build-ups are in place. Measure at several heights and note walls that are out of plumb. Final site measurements should be confirmed before custom glass is produced.
Check the clear opening and nearby fixtures. A hinged door needs swing space; a sliding system needs an appropriate track and panel layout. We can review both options against the bathroom plan.
Send finished openings, wall alignment, door clearance and hardware, together with quantities, the destination and your required delivery date. We identify the details needing approval and confirm the scope, production requirements and quotation for your project.
Discuss the required material or finish samples and any prototype at quotation stage. We confirm availability, cost and timing for the selected products. Record the approved sample and drawing references before production so inspection has a clear basis.
Yes. Sibolla combines its own factory with specialist production partners and one project supply team. We can coordinate this package with bathroom fixtures and shower heads. Confirm quantities, specifications and shipment phases together so the order follows your installation plan.
