Classic baseline vs. balanced modern profile
Metro remains the clean everyday benchmark in the sliding family, while Vera is positioned as the more balanced modern alternative. The difference is less about extreme hardware language and more about how the shower should read inside the room.

Metro Installation Overview
Metro Single Sliding Shower Door
A clean, space-saving sliding door with premium glass, smooth daily operation, and installation-focused planning details.
The Metro frameless single sliding shower door is designed for bathrooms where space, clean lines, and smooth daily use matter. Its fixed panel and sliding glass panel save floor space compared with a swinging shower door, while 3/8" tempered glass, stainless steel hardware, and smooth-glide rollers create a quiet, modern shower enclosure.
The frameless construction maximizes visual openness, making your bathroom feel larger and brighter. Unlike traditional framed shower doors, Metro's minimal hardware approach lets the beauty of the glass take center stage. Whether you're upgrading a master bath or refreshing a guest bathroom, Metro delivers an elevated shower experience without overwhelming your space.
The sliding panel operates on precision rollers for quiet, easy motion, while the nano glass coating helps water shed off the surface so the door stays clearer between cleanings.

Q&A
Common Metro installation questions
Answers to the fit, configuration, glass, and installation questions that show up most often before a project moves forward.
Is the Metro shower door good for small bathrooms?
Yes. Metro is a single sliding door, so it opens within its own footprint instead of swinging into the room. That makes it a strong fit for compact bathrooms, powder rooms, and tight tub-to-shower conversions where swing clearance is limited.
What opening width does the Metro fit?
Metro fits standard openings of 46"–48" wide as an in-stock size, with a standard height of 72". Wider, taller, or non-standard openings can be ordered as a custom size — a professional measurement confirms the exact fit.
Can the Metro sliding door open from the left or right?
Yes. Metro's single-slider configuration is reversible — the door can be set to slide open from the left or the right to match your bathroom layout and where the shower controls sit.
What glass options are available?
Metro uses 3/8" (10mm) tempered safety glass and is available in six options: Clear, HD, Gray, Bronze, Rain, and Frosted. Nano glass coating is included to help water shed and reduce cleaning.
How long does installation take?
On-site installation typically takes 1–4 hours. From consultation to a fully installed door, most Metro projects are completed in 5–7 days, including measurement and fabrication.
Is professional measurement required?
We strongly recommend it. A professional laser measurement of your opening confirms whether the 46"–48" in-stock Metro fits or whether a custom size is needed, and it prevents fit and leak issues during installation.
What is the difference between Metro and Vera?
Metro is a frameless single sliding door — one fixed panel and one sliding panel in 3/8" tempered glass — built for smaller openings and a clean, premium look. Vera is a double sliding bypass door in 1/4" glass, where two panels slide past each other so you can enter from either side; it suits wider openings and more budget-conscious projects.
What maintenance does a Metro shower door require?
Metro performs best with regular track cleaning, an occasional check of the vinyl seals and rollers, and a monthly glass-cleaner routine. The nano coating helps water shed off the glass, so buildup is slower and cleaning is faster.
