Bespoke 10mm Bronze Glass Shower Screen Installation in Claygate, Surrey
Specialist Frameless Shower Glass • Brushed Brass Hardware • Ritec Easy Clean
Project Overview
This bespoke 10mm bronze glass shower screen installation in Claygate, Surrey is a perfect example of where specialist glazing meets architectural complexity.
Set within a beautifully converted upper-floor space featuring exposed structural timber beams and angled ceiling lines, the shower enclosure required precise templating, specialist fittings, and careful coordination to achieve a flawless finish without compromising the character of the room.
Hamilton Glass Products were appointed to template, manufacture, and install the frameless bronze glass screen — delivering a solution that feels modern, refined, and completely at home within the structure.

Every element was selected to balance luxury aesthetics with durability and performance.
Designing Around Exposed Timber Beams
One of the defining challenges of this project was working around existing structural oak beams and sloping roof lines.
Rather than boxing in or disguising these features, the glass was designed to:
Follow the natural angles of the ceiling
Terminate cleanly against timber without visual clutter
Maintain symmetry and sightlines from within the space
Preserve the architectural character of the conversion
This level of integration can only be achieved through accurate on-site templating and experience working with non-standard geometries.
Why 10mm Bronze Glass?
Bronze glass is increasingly specified in high-end residential bathrooms, particularly where clients want something more refined than standard clear glass.
Benefits include:
Softer visual contrast than clear glass
Increased privacy without heavy frosting
Warm tones that pair beautifully with brass finishes
A premium feel that elevates the entire room
Combined with 10mm thickness, the glass delivers both structural integrity and visual weight, ideal for frameless applications.
Brushed Brass Hardware – Full Brass Construction
This installation features full brass hardware, finished in brushed brass to complement the bronze glass.
Key advantages:
Solid brass (not plated alternatives)
Improved longevity in wet environments
Consistent colour tone across hinges and fixings
Timeless finish suited to both modern and classic interiors
The hardware was carefully positioned to avoid conflict with timber members while maintaining correct load distribution and safety compliance.
Ritec Easy Clean Protection
All glass panels were treated with Ritec Easy Clean, providing:
Reduced water spotting
Less soap and limescale build-up
Easier day-to-day cleaning
Longer-lasting clarity
An essential upgrade for frameless shower glass, especially in premium bathrooms where appearance matters long after installation.
Precision Templating & Installation
Due to the complex beam geometry and sloping ceiling, this was not a “measure-and-cut” job.
Our process included:
Detailed on-site templating
Allowances for timber movement and tolerances
Controlled manufacturing to exact dimensions
Careful installation to avoid stress points
Final alignment checks and finishing
The result is a shower screen that looks effortless — despite the technical complexity behind it.
Why Specialist Glazing Matters on Projects Like This
Bathrooms like this highlight why specialist glass installers matter.
Off-the-shelf systems simply can’t cope with:
Irregular angles
Exposed structure
Tight tolerances
Premium material combinations
Our experience with bespoke shower screens, architectural glass, and complex residential projects ensures each installation performs as well as it looks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is bronze glass still compliant for shower use?
Yes. This installation uses 10mm toughened safety glass, fully compliant with UK Building Regulations.
Does bronze glass reduce light?
Slightly — but intentionally. It softens glare while maintaining brightness, especially when paired with good lighting.
Can glass be fitted directly against timber beams?
Yes, when templated correctly. Allowances must be made for movement and tolerances.
Is brushed brass suitable for wet areas?
Absolutely — when using solid brass hardware, not plated alternatives.
