2,500mm Electro Polished Aluminium Glazing Channels

Shower Glazing Channels for Glass Panels

From shower enclosures to wet rooms, glazing channels are an essential piece of kit when it comes to installing fixed panels in commercial and residential bathrooms.

With an aluminium U-channel to anchor a glass screen, you can confidently create a stylish, durable, and safe bathing area with a streamlined look. The glazing channel will hold the glass firmly in position, so it won’t shift even with the vibrations of running water or the movement of getting in or out of the shower.

Made from high-quality extruded aluminium in a range of colours, you’re sure to find a sleek glazing channel to suit your needs here at The Glass Warehouse.

Shower Screen Glazing Channels

Sometimes known as a shower screen wall channel or floor channel, a U-channel is one of the most cost-effective solutions for showers, baths, wet rooms, and more.

Anywhere you need to fix an 8mm–10mm thick glass panel with a secure seal, one of our 1200mm or 2400mm long aluminium U-channels could help you get the job done.

Not only does this material promise durability and longevity, but you can also benefit from a selection of attractive finishes to suit your décor preferences. These include brushed or polished finishes in silver chrome, brass nickel, or matt black or white.

While no glass drilling preparation should be needed, please note that unless your screen is precisely 1200mm or 2400mm in length, your glazing channel will require cutting to the right length, whether it’s silicone-fit with sealant or gaskets.

If you’re shopping for more than just U-channels and also need support bars, mounting brackets, or end caps – or even pivot hinges to create an opening and closing shower door – we have a variety of shower screen mounting accessories to choose from, too.

How are shower glazing channels installed?

After drilling holes to insert fixing plugs, a shower U-channel is typically screwed to a wall or floor surface (e.g. tiles), then the glass screen is inserted into the channel and secured with either silicone sealant or a gasket to achieve a perfect fit.

You should note that while pre-drilling holes in the glass panel usually isn’t needed for this type of glazing channel, the U-channel itself will require cutting to a suitable length for the panel you’re planning to mount.

Please also note that while some glazing channels may be supplied with plastic packers, the fixings are usually not included, meaning you must source these elements yourself separately (ensuring they’re the right fit for your chosen U-channel).

Whether you go for silver, brass, matt black, or white, your shower channel will provide a slimline look while keeping water inside the showering area (and out of the channel).

If you’re looking for a longer length than the 1200mm or 2400mm channels we sell, please contact us to enquire and we’ll see what we can do for you.

Do you offer an aluminium U-channel in matt black?

Yes, we do. From framed glass partitions in living spaces to fittings in bathrooms, matt black (sometimes called matte black) has become an enduringly fashionable look.

That’s why we endeavour to supply more colours than just the classic chrome silver or golden brass – though, of course, these are still available with a polished or brushed finish for anyone who does prefer a more traditional or vintage appearance.

On our site, you’ll find a mix of designs to suit any bathroom, so you can secure your glass screen in a complementary or contrasting style.

For those who want to level up their aesthetic from standard aluminium or nickel-coloured accessories, we not only offer smooth and sophisticated matt black, but also a clean white finish for a bright minimalist look.

Can these glazing channels be used for any fixed glass panels?

It’s important to check the product page for the full specifications of each U-channel or related accessory to make sure it’s suitable for your intended use before buying.

We offer glazing channels and shower support fittings that can also be utilised for general glazing restraint purposes, provided that the measurements are correct.

This means you may be able to use them for floor-mounted or wall-fixed panels like glass partitions, both indoors and outdoors, depending on the product specifications.

In any case, unless they’re already the length you’re looking for, U-channels will still require cutting to size to ensure they fit the glass panels perfectly.

Please consult the item description and any product drawings or downloadable data sheets on the individual product pages to find out whether particular channels are suitable for your needs or not.

Homeowners, builders, interior designers, shower installers and more can make the most of the panel-fixing products available across our full glass fittings range.

I’ve just replaced my wooden staircase balustrades with toughened glass. I used Express Toughening to supply the 10mm thick glass panels. The company is very professional and helpful. The project went well.
