Shower Hardware - Glass Clamps and Transom Clamps

Stainless steel horseshoe-shaped clamps hold glass panels firmly and securely in place. The adjustable springs on the back of these clamps secure even pressure across the flange area, facilitating assembly. Various sizes and designs of the mounting screws are also available. For maximum safety, the installation screws must be installed with the glass in place, rather than in the corners. For better safety and efficiency, use a glass clamp with a locking mechanism, not the traditional one-hand style.

Clamps are recommended for fixing two-inch glass panels together, and should be used on all three sides of the panel. If the glass is tempered, silicone should be used to reinforce joints. The structural backing of a wall or panel will determine how the glass will be held. If the backboard is made of wood or concrete, the glass clamp should be placed on top of the backing material. If the mounting surface is metal, then the mounting screws must be made of wood or plastic.

Besides glass clamps, movable transom clamps are a good choice for installations where more glass is needed. The metal used is high-quality and plated to match the rest of the structure. They are designed to prevent rusting in a damp environment. The company offers over a thousand products and offers custom sizes. The mounting screw should be evenly spaced. It is important to check the installation procedures before installing a glass clamp.
