HIPAD manufactures glass clamps that hold fixed glass panels in frameless shower screens, glass partitions and balustrades. The range includes wall-to-glass and glass-to-glass clamps at 0°, 90°, 135° and 180°, T-clamps and D-clamps for 8–14 mm tempered glass. Clamps come in 304 or 201 stainless steel, brass or zinc alloy, in six standard finishes, and can be packed under your own brand. Distributors, shower enclosure makers and glass processors in 60+ countries buy them factory-direct.
A glass clamp is a small metal bracket that grips the edge of a fixed glass panel between two plates, with rubber or PVC gaskets in between. It fixes the panel to a wall, a floor, a post or another panel. Unlike a shower door hinge, a glass clamp does not rotate. It only holds glass that stays still.
In a frameless shower, clamps hold the fixed screen or return panel, and hinges carry the door. The angle in a clamp's name, 90°, 135° or 180°, is the angle between the two surfaces it joins. Glass clamps are also called shower glass clips, shower screen clamps (Australia), glass brackets, glass fixing clamps or clip muro vidrio (Spanish).
Representative clamp models from the HIPAD range. Our catalog covers more than 100 clamp models, all available in your finish and packaging. Ask for the full catalog with drawings.
Choose a clamp by what the panel fixes to (a wall, the floor or another panel) and the angle between the two surfaces. The plan views below show each clamp seen from above.
The standard clamp for frameless shower screens and bath screens. It is available in 0°, 90°, 135° and 180°, single-sided or double-sided, and in T-form.
Round-head and oval clamps give a softer look for shower screens, glass partitions and display glass. They come in 0°, 90°, 135° and 180°, single or double.
D-shaped clamps fix glass to posts and walls in balustrades and partitions. Flat-back versions mount on walls and square posts. Curved-back versions fit round posts.
Clamps with a flat base hold the bottom edge of a fixed panel on a floor, shower tray or ledge. They can be used instead of a U-channel where a lighter look is wanted.
Larger zinc alloy bodies with rounded corners suit 10–14 mm glass in partitions and heavy shower screens. They are available in 90° and 180°, single or double.
Adjustable-angle clamps, clamps for special glass thicknesses, and private-mold designs for your own brand. They are made to your drawing with 2000+ existing mold sets as a starting point.

Quick answer: a typical fixed shower panel up to about 1000 mm wide and 2000 mm tall uses two wall clamps on the wall edge and two floor clamps (or a U-channel) along the bottom. Panels wider than 1000 mm, or free edges longer than about 1200 mm, need a support bar at the top.
| Fixed panel (W × H) | Wall edge | Bottom edge | Top edge |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 400 × 2000 mm | 2 clamps | 1–2 clamps | — |
| 400–800 × 2000 mm | 2 clamps | 2 clamps | — |
| 800–1000 × 2000 mm | 2–3 clamps | 2 clamps or U-channel | Support bar recommended |
| Over 1000 mm wide | 3 clamps | U-channel or 3 clamps | Support bar required |
| Taller than 2100 mm | 3 clamps | 2–3 clamps | Support bar required |

For coastal, pool and spa projects, ask us about 316 stainless steel. Material documents and test reports are available per model.
Clamps can be matched to our shower hinges, handles and sliding systems in the same finish, so a full shower enclosure comes from one factory in one color. Custom plated and PVD colors are available for private-label collections.
Installation should be done by a qualified glazier.
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Panel wobbles or flexes | Add a clamp or a support bar; use larger clamps for 12 mm glass |
| Glass slips in the clamp | Replace worn gaskets; tighten screws evenly |
| Glass chips at the clamp | Always use gaskets; never let metal touch glass |
| Clamps not in line | Mark positions with a laser level before drilling |
| Rust or dull finish | Use 304 stainless in wet areas; clean with neutral cleaner |
The same clamp families are used outside the bathroom. Round, square and D-clamps hold office partitions, shop fronts, stair glass and balcony balustrades. For complete railing systems with posts and handrails, see our stainless steel railing range.
Square and rounded clamps for fixed shower panels and bath screens in 8–12 mm glass.
Round, square and heavy-duty zinc clamps for 10–14 mm partition glass.
D-clamps with flat or curved backs for glass-to-post and glass-to-wall railings.

A glass clamp holds a fixed glass panel and does not move. A shower hinge carries a door and rotates. In a frameless shower, clamps hold the fixed screen and hinges hang the door, usually in the same finish.
A fixed shower panel up to about 1000 mm wide and 2000 mm tall usually needs two wall clamps and two floor clamps or a U-channel. Wider or taller panels need a third clamp on each edge and a support bar at the top.
Depending on the model, HIPAD glass clamps fit 8–10 mm, 8–12 mm, 10–12 mm or 12–14 mm tempered glass. Standard shower clamps fit 8–12 mm glass.
Some clamp models use a through-bolt and need a hole drilled before tempering. Others grip the glass by clamping pressure only. We will tell you which applies to each model you choose.
304 stainless steel is the best all-round choice for showers. 201 is a lower-cost option for dry interiors. Brass suits gold and bronze finishes, and zinc alloy gives large rounded bodies at low cost for thick partition glass.
Yes. D-clamps and heavy-duty square clamps are used on stair and balcony balustrades. For railing systems, check local building codes for glass type and load requirements.
MOQ is 1000 pcs. Samples take 5–7 days and production 20–25 working days. We offer custom sizes, finishes, private molds, logo engraving or printing and custom packaging, and logo and packaging customization is available even for small quantities.
