A well-placed towel bar keeps a glass shower functional as well as good-looking, and on frameless enclosures it has to earn its spot without weighing down the door. The 24″ back to back tubular towel bar mounts straight through the glass on sliding shower doors and other frameless configurations, giving both sides of the panel a place to hang a towel at the same time.

What Is the 24″ back to back tubular towel bar?
The BM24x24 is a double-sided tubular bar built around a single through-glass mount, with matching towel rails on the inside and outside of the panel. That means one bracket set does the work of two separate bars, which is useful in tight bathrooms where wall space is limited. It fits frameless swing, pivot, and sliding shower doors, wherever one glass panel separates the wet side of the enclosure from the dry side of the room.
Available Finishes
This hardware piece is currently offered in one finish, selected to match the widest range of bathroom fixtures.
Chrome
Chrome is the brightest, most reflective finish IDEAL offers, and it reads clean against both marble and subway tile. It’s the natural choice for classic and transitional bathrooms already built around polished nickel or stainless fixtures, and it stays a popular pick for exactly that reason.
Why Hardware Finish Matters
Towel bars, hinges, handles, and clamps all sit right at eye level on a glass door, so an unmatched finish stands out immediately. Coordinating the towel bar with your faucet, showerhead, and door hardware keeps the whole bathroom feeling intentional rather than assembled piece by piece. We install this same attention to finish on the frameless enclosures we’ve built across the North Shore, including the projects we’ve completed from Ipswich to Saugus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a back to back towel bar be added to an existing shower door?
In most cases, yes — the BM24x24 mounts through a drilled hole in the glass, so it can be added during a new installation or retrofitted onto an existing frameless panel with the right hole placement. Our team can confirm fit during a measurement visit before any drilling happens.
How do I keep a chrome towel bar looking new?
Chrome holds up well to daily use — a quick wipe with a soft cloth and mild glass cleaner after showers keeps water spots from building up on the bar and the glass around it. If you’re comparing hardware finishes in person, our Danvers showroom lets you see chrome and our other options near me before you decide.
What does it typically cost to upgrade shower door hardware?
Most complete frameless shower door installations, hardware included, run between $800 to $2,500 depending on size and configuration. Stop by our Danvers showroom to see finishes in person, or contact us to schedule a free in-home measurement.
