Corner Shower Solutions
Corner Shower Layouts & Benefits
Canto pairs a hinged glass door with a fixed return panel for a 90-degree corner shower. We build the enclosure to your measured opening, including knee-wall layouts next to a bathtub.
Clean 90-Degree Aesthetic
Two glass panels meet at a precise 90-degree corner. No neo-angle cuts, no awkward geometry - just clean lines.
Neo-Angle Alternative
Prefer straight panels over diagonal cuts? Canto delivers a corner enclosure without the complexity of a neo-angle design.
Flexible Door Placement
Door position and hinge arrangement are confirmed after measurement, with the surrounding walls, bathtub and entry clearance in mind.
Space-Efficient Footprint
Corner placement keeps the shower out of the center of the room while still opening wide for comfortable entry.
Canto Installation Overview
Canto 90-Degree Corner Shower Enclosure
A frameless 90-degree corner shower enclosure with a hinged door and fixed return panel, custom-fabricated to your exact corner.
The Canto 90-degree frameless corner shower enclosure is built for the corner shower - a hinged glass door on one wall and a fixed return panel on the other, meeting cleanly at a right-angle corner.
The return panel can extend to the shower base or sit on a low knee wall, sometimes called a half wall or pony wall. For a shower beside a bathtub, the knee-wall arrangement keeps a glass division between the two areas. Our team confirms the measurements, door swing and mounting details before fabrication.
Because corners are rarely a true 90 degrees, Canto is custom-fabricated to your exact corner rather than sold as a pre-made kit. That is how it sits tight and square against the tile even when the framing is not perfect.
Both pieces are 3/8" tempered glass with solid-brass hardware, joined at the corner with a glass-to-glass or wall-mount hinge. Canto supports options like a knee wall and a steam-shower transom.
Why choose the Canto 90-degree frameless corner shower enclosure
- Built for corner showers. A hinged door and fixed return panel meet at a 90-degree corner - the configuration designed for true corner showers with two finished walls.
- Custom-fit to your real corner. Few corners are exactly 90 degrees; Canto is fabricated to your measured corner so the glass sits tight and square even when the framing is not.
- Solid-brass hardware. Glass-to-glass or wall-mount solid-brass hinges and a support bar carry the enclosure with a substantial, corrosion-resistant feel.
- 3/8" tempered glass. Thick tempered glass gives Canto a clean frameless look with strong, stable everyday performance.
- Knee-wall and steam-transom options. Configure a knee wall the glass mounts onto, or a steam-shower transom above the door for enclosed steam showers.
- Professional fit. Aligning two sheets of glass across a corner is less forgiving than a flat opening, so measurement and installation are available for a clean, sealed corner.

Optional Quote Prep
Optional: Take Rough Measurements for Your Quote
A few approximate measurements can help us prepare a baseline quote. They don’t need to be exact — our installation team will confirm the final dimensions before your glass is ordered.
What to note (rough is fine):
- Approximate width along each wall of the corner
- Approximate height
- Whether the return panel sits on a knee wall, and its rough height
- Preferred door position or swing direction — if you know it
- A photo or two (optional)
Prefer not to measure? That’s completely fine — you can request a quote without measurements, and we’ll explain what we need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Canto installation questions
Answers to the layout, cost, corner fit, hardware, installation, leak control, and comparison questions that come up before a Canto project moves forward.
What is a Canto corner shower enclosure?
Canto is a custom frameless enclosure for a 90-degree corner shower. It combines a hinged glass door with a fixed return panel, made to the measured opening and professionally installed by Dulles Glass. The return panel can extend to the shower base or sit on a knee wall.
What is a California-style shower?
At Dulles Glass, we use California-style to describe a 90-degree corner shower beside a bathtub, with the fixed glass return panel sitting on a knee wall. It is an increasingly requested application of our Canto enclosure.
Can you install a glass corner shower next to a bathtub?
Yes. We can design a Canto enclosure with a fixed return panel on the knee wall between the shower and bathtub. Our team checks the corner, knee wall, mounting surfaces and door clearance before the glass is made. Send photos with your quote request so we can review the layout.
How much do custom corner shower doors cost?
Canto is priced by quote. The cost depends on the opening, glass and panel sizes, hardware finish, knee-wall or transom requirements, and installation conditions. Request a free quote with photos of your space so our team can assess the project.
Does the corner have to be exactly 90 degrees?
Our team measures the actual corner angle and wall alignment, then confirms a suitable enclosure design before fabrication. Canto is made to the measured opening rather than selected from a pre-made corner kit.
What hardware does Canto use?
Canto uses solid-brass wall-mount or glass-to-glass hinges and a support bar, depending on the design. Available finishes include Chrome, Brushed Nickel, Matte Black and Satin Brass. Knee-wall return panels use a U-channel or clamps to suit the installation.
Can Canto include a knee wall or steam-shower transom?
Canto can be designed with a return panel on a knee wall or an overhead transom where suitable. Our team confirms the glass arrangement, mounting details and any additional requirements when reviewing and measuring the project.
How long does a Canto installation take?
The installation visit itself typically takes 2–3 hours. Including measurement, the whole process typically takes 10–15 business days; after measurement, it is typically 7–10 business days. Allow any sealant curing time our team advises before using the shower.
Will a frameless corner shower leak?
A frameless enclosure is built to keep water in the shower, but it is not a sealed, watertight box. We fit clear seals and a door sweep, and plan the door position and panel sealing for your layout. Ask about splash control when you request your quote.
What is the difference between Canto and Prima?
Canto encloses a corner with a door and perpendicular fixed return panel. Prima has a door and side panel along one flat opening. Choose Canto for the corner arrangement; our team can confirm the right layout from photos and professional measurements.
