Profile
The ‘I’ handle is a straight bar with both ends open — the most minimal of JWL’s shower configurations, a single vertical line on the visible face. 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; the center-to-center (18″, 24″ or 30″) follows the length ordered. Have the glass drilled to the DWG pattern before tempering. Suitable for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass. Optional backplates 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 order for my shower door?
The 18-1/2″, 24-1/2″ and 30-1/2″ sets have 18″, 24″ and 30″ center-to-center respectively. Match the C/C to the hole spacing in the glass; if the glass is not drilled yet, 24″ is the usual choice on a 72″–80″ tall frameless door and 30″ on full-height panels.
What glass thickness does the I+U set fit?
The set is intended for 3/8″ and 1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered glass, the standard for frameless shower enclosures, and connection hardware for the glass is included. If your panel is thinner framed glass or thicker architectural glass, contact JWL before ordering. Holes must be cut before tempering; do not drill tempered glass.
How does I+U differ from J+U and L+U?
All three have a ‘U’ towel bar inside. The outside handle differs: ‘I’ is a straight bar with open ends, ‘J’ has one rounded end and one squared, and ‘L’ has both ends squared. Choose I for the most minimal line, or J or L to match those profiles on JWL door handles and cabinet pulls elsewhere.
Can I get the handle in one finish and the towel bar in another?
Each set ships in a single finish — Brushed, Polished, Matte Black, Satin Brass PVD or White. For a two-tone look, JWL sells optional colour-matched or split-finish backplates separately; they fit between the hardware and the glass and add 3/8″ of projection per side.
What are the shipping and warranty terms?
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.
