Profile
The ‘J’ handle has one rounded end and one squared end — the rounded end is usually set at the top where the hand lands. The ‘U’ towel bar inside returns to the glass at both ends. Both are 1″ x 1/2″ D-profile bar, hand-welded, in Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD or White.
Installation
Handle and towel bar mount as one assembly through two holes in the glass with the included connection hardware; center-to-center follows the length ordered, see the DWG file. Have the glass drilled before tempering. Suitable for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass. Optional colour-matched or split-finish backplates are sold separately and raise projection to 2 3/8″ (60 mm) per side.
Care
Rinse and dry after use; clean with mild soap on a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads and chlorine or acid cleaners on coated finishes. Limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms: jwlhome.com/warranty
Frequently asked
Which length should I choose?
The set comes in 18-1/2″, 24-1/2″ and 30-1/2″ lengths, and the hole spacing in the glass changes with each. If the glass is already drilled, match the center-to-center on the PDF spec sheet. If not, 24-1/2″ suits most 72″–80″ frameless doors and 30-1/2″ suits full-height panels.
What glass thickness does the J+U set fit?
The set is intended for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass, which covers standard frameless shower doors, and connection hardware for the glass is included. Contact JWL before ordering if your glass is outside that range. Holes must be cut before tempering; do not drill tempered glass.
J+U or L+U — which should I pick?
Both sets have a ‘U’ towel bar inside and are the same price and sizes. The J+U handle has one rounded end, softer where the hand grips; the L+U handle has two squared ends for a fully rectilinear look. Pick the one that matches the door handle profile used elsewhere in the home.
Which finishes are available and do they match other JWL hardware?
Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD and White, all on solid 304 stainless steel. The same five finishes run across JWL’s thru-bolt door handles, barn door handles and cabinet pulls, so the shower set can match the bathroom door handle and vanity pulls exactly.
How fast does it ship, and what is the warranty?
In-stock sets ship in 1–3 workdays from Vancouver, BC to Canada and the US; orders over ship free. The set carries a limited lifetime residential warranty on materials and workmanship (commercial: 5 yr brushed stainless, 2 yr coated). Full terms are at jwlhome.com/warranty.
