Custom Shower Door Systems for Hospitality, Multifamily, and Commercial Projects
The Contract Division of HMI Glass delivers custom glass shower enclosures and bath glass solutions for hospitality, multifamily housing, senior living, student housing, luxury condos, and commercial projects. We specialize in architectural-grade systems and offer end-to-end support - design consultation, technical submittals, delivery logistics, and post-installation service coordination - to meet demanding brand standards, building codes, and construction schedules.
Since 1946. With over 75 years of experience in U.S. manufacturing, HMI Glass has built a national reputation for quality craftsmanship, engineering precision, and responsive service across hospitality, multifamily, and specialty glass markets.
All products are made in the USA at our three facilities:
Yes. HMI Glass is an approved vendor with Hilton Supply Management, with multiple product lines approved across Hilton’s brand platforms. We also exceed the performance, durability, and design standards of other major hotel flags - including Marriott, IHG, Hyatt, and Choice Hotels - with a track record of completed installations nationwide.
Frameless and semi-frameless enclosures, sliding barn-style and bypass systems, hinged and pivot doors, ADA - and senior-friendly options, tub and shower combos, digitally printed panels, and artisan cast glass.
Yes. We offer fully customizable solutions that align with brand specifications, design intent, and space constraints. We work closely with designers, procurement teams, and ownership groups to ensure alignment from submittals to delivery.
We offer C.10® surface protectant - resistant to staining, buildup, and UV etching - as well as Guardian ShowerGuard® for long-term clarity and ease of cleaning. These upgrades help maintain appearance and reduce housekeeping burden in high-use settings.
Our hardware finishes include matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, champagne bronze, and others to match nearly any interior palette.
Yes. Our enclosures are designed to exceed performance expectations for hospitality and multifamily brand platforms. We have executed nationwide programs across top-tier hotel flags and are happy to consult on meeting specific brand criteria or design goals.
Yes. All HMI shower glass is SGCC® certified, meets ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety standards, and is fabricated in our U.S. tempering plants. We voluntarily test through third-party labs to ensure consistent, code-compliant performance.
SGCC® certification assures hotel owners, developers, and designers that the glass has been tested for impact resistance, thermal shock, and compliance. It minimizes liability and ensures smooth passage through inspections. Certification details are available at sgcc.org.
We adhere to a strict quality mantra: Complete. Correct. On-Time. Every Time. Each enclosure undergoes multiple QC checkpoints. By owning the process from tempering to metalwork, we keep field errors to a minimum.
We offer a 3-year warranty on hardware - 2-years beyond most hotel brand requirements - and a limited manufacturer warranty on glass. Extended or custom warranties may be available for long-term rollouts.
Typical lead time is 4–6 weeks from final drawing approvals. We also support faster timelines for model room or prototype orders. Standard shower doors may ne eligible for quick-ship. Ask a Contract Division Specialist for availability.

We do not self-perform installation but provide full submittals, coordination support, and referrals to qualified glaziers and installers in your region.
Glass installation - especially for sliding systems and large formats - requires specific skills. Poor installs can lead to leaks, damage, or warranty issues. We recommend experienced professionals to protect both appearance and performance.
