FAQs
How long does a shower door installation take?
Most standard shower door installations take about 2–4 hours once the glass and hardware are ready. More complex frameless or custom multi-panel enclosures can take a full day. If you order a custom glass door, fabrication and scheduling can add 2–4 weeks before installation day.
Do you offer custom-sized shower doors?
Yes. Custom-sized shower doors are commonly available and are ideal for unique layouts, oversized openings, walk-in showers, corner units, and remodeled bathrooms where standard sizes will not fit properly. Custom options also allow you to choose the glass thickness, hardware finish, and door style that best matches your space.
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower doors?
Frameless shower doors use thick tempered glass with minimal metal hardware for a sleek, modern appearance. They are easier to visually showcase tile work and are generally easier to clean because they have fewer metal tracks. They are usually the most premium and expensive option.
Semi-frameless shower doors combine thicker glass with some metal framing around portions of the enclosure. They offer a cleaner look than fully framed doors while typically costing less than frameless systems. They may also provide slightly better water containment in some layouts.
How do I keep my glass shower doors clean?
To keep shower glass looking clear and spot-free:
- Use a squeegee after each shower to reduce water spots and soap buildup.
- Clean regularly with a vinegar-and-water solution or a non-abrasive glass cleaner.
- Avoid harsh scrub pads that can damage protective coatings or hardware finishes.
- Keep the shower well ventilated to reduce mineral deposits and mildew.
How much does a new shower door installation cost?
Pricing depends on the door style, glass thickness, size, and whether the installation is custom.
