Picking a frameless shower door shouldn’t feel like homework. Think of Aston’s three crowd-favorites as personalities:
- Belmore – the flexible, spa-style hinged door that plays nicely with real-world walls.
- Kinkade – the crisp, classic hinged door that shines in narrow openings (and looks fantastic in tall, hotel-height builds).
- Coraline – the smooth, modern slider that saves space and maximizes glass.

The 30-second cheat sheet
| Collection | Door Type | Best For | Adjustability | Height Options | Finish Highlights | Why People Love It |

| Kinkade | Hinged (swing) | Narrow openings; tall, boutique-hotel vibe in XL | Minimal/varies by SKU (plan for plumb walls) | XL (~80″) plus standard | Matte Black, Chrome, Stainless, Bronze | Crisp lines, sizes that dip into tight widths |
| Coraline | Sliding | Small baths (no door swing), modern minimalist look | Fixed-panel channel on select SKUs; primarily for plumb openings | Standard (~76″) and XL (80″) | Matte Black, Brushed Gold, Bronze, Stainless | Space-saving glide, huge size/finish range |

How to pick by space
If your walls aren’t perfectly vertical
Choose Belmore. Its slim vertical wall channel can dial in up to 1″ of out-of-plumb correction—exactly the kind of real-home forgiveness that keeps installs smooth and sightlines clean. You still get a frameless look, plus full-length seals that help with splash control.
If your opening is narrow
That’s Kinkade territory. The Kinkade XL lineup shows just how tight it can go (widths in the upper-20s) while reaching that luxe 80″ height. It gives you the ritual of a swing door without feeling bulky. Just make sure your walls are true or speak with your installer.
If floor space is tight (vanity close to the opening)
Pick Coraline. A framelss sliding door means no swing clearance to fight—and the visual language is sleek and modern. Coraline comes in both standard and XL (80″) heights with a deep size/finish range, including Matte Black, Bronze, Brushed Gold, and Stainless.
How to pick by style
- Spa-calm with a little presence → Belmore
Balanced metal lines, classic swing, and a tidy, made-to-measure look once the wall channel is set. Great with marble, stone, or warm neutrals. - Crisp, gallery-like → Kinkade (especially XL)
Tall, uninterrupted glass and a minimal hinge set read upscale without trying too hard. Pair with stacked tile or micro-cement for a boutique-hotel vibe. - Modern, minimal, and a touch industrial → Coraline
The slider hardware becomes a quiet design accent. Looks amazing with matte black fixtures and light oak or with brushed gold and creamy stone.
Quick scenario playbook
- Older home, slight wall lean: Belmore → out-of-plumb forgiveness up to 1″, full-length seals included.
- Alcove is only ~28–30″ wide: Kinkade XL (check the specific width range on the product page).
- Tiny bathroom, no swing space: Coraline sliding door (standard or 80″ XL).
- Love tall, hotel-style proportions: Both Kinkade XL (hinged) and Coraline XL (sliding) hit that 80″ luxury height sweet spot.
Finishes & glass (keep it easy)
All three collections are offered in designer finishes you can match to faucets and pulls—Matte Black, Stainless/Chrome, Bronze, and on Coraline, even Brushed Gold. Many SKUs also offer Ultra-Bright Frosted glass for privacy that still feels light. Browse by finish and height right on the main category page to quickly narrow choices.
The friendly bottom line
- Pick Belmore if you want a classic swing and a little install forgiveness.
- Pick Kinkade if your opening is on the narrow side and you love that tall, gallery feel.
- Pick Coraline if you want the clean, space-saving glide of a slider and lots of finish/size choices.
