Shower glass should be planned from the finished opening, not from a rough framing dimension. Tile, curb or shower base, wall plumb, opening width and nearby fixtures all affect the final door and panel layout.
NY-GoodHome serves Brooklyn and New York City with a dedicated service for frameless shower doors and enclosures. Call (223) 226-1828 with full-shower photos and the current renovation stage.
Door and Panel Layouts
A shower can use a swing door, fixed panel, door-and-panel combination, corner configuration or other compatible layout. The available opening and nearby vanity, toilet or wall conditions affect door swing and panel placement.
The Frameless Shower Doors page goes deeper into those layouts and finished-opening measurement.
Finished Tile Before Measurement
Final measurement should normally follow tile and other surfaces that define the glass opening. Measuring before tile, pan or wall work is complete can create a mismatch between the ordered glass and the finished space.
If shower tile or pan work remains, complete or coordinate those services before custom glass is locked.
Hardware and Glass Requirements
Hinges, handles, clips and other hardware depend on the selected enclosure system. Glass type and thickness should follow the engineered/product requirements of the actual system.
Glass thickness and hardware should follow the selected enclosure system and project requirements.
