Framed and Frameless Bypasses

The bypass is a traditional unit with 2 sliding doors that can “pass by” each other.

Most designs will have a towel bar on each slider, one facing out and the other facing in.

The bypass is an economical unit with ease of entry. The bypass also allows a great amount of flexibility for bathrooms with a toilet or other obstruction making a fixed door and panel problematic.

The bypasses are divided into 4 categories:
 
  • Framed Bypass; each slider door has a frame around it
  • Frameless Bypass; each slider door has no frame around it
  • Shower Stall Bypass; either framed of frameless but typically 71 inches and taller
  • Tub Deck Bypass; either framed or frameless but typically 64 inches tall
 
Any of these styles will have a header and a sill with door jambs making up the structure. The slider doors, either framed or frameless will have rollers at the top that sit in the header and allow them to slide. We have very nice low priced units that are superior to the big box store offerings. We always recommend 3/8 or 8 millimeter glass for the frameless units as the ¼ inch glass is wobbly at the taller heights. There are many color options available but the most common are:
 
  • Silver (chrome like but aluminum)
  • Brushed Nickel
  • Gold
  • Oil rubbed bronze
We can make solid brass units for those who require a special finish. We also can make units without side jambs. These are very sleek units with only a header and sill. The wall will have a clear jamb to receive the glass. Please take a look at these examples.
