• Triplex. This is a multi-layer base, between each layer of which there is a film. This design has a high resistance to various mechanical stress. With a strong impact cracks will occur, but the design will remain.
• Plastic. The main advantage of such products is low cost. However, plastic is easy to scratch, and for this reason such material cannot be considered durable.

For more decorative glass for the shower can be decorated with a pattern that is applied by sandblasting, photo printing, coloring pigments. Shower enclosures can be tinted.
