A custom frameless shower enclosure is defined by the finished opening. Tile, shower base or curb, wall plumb, ceiling or header conditions and nearby fixtures all influence the door and panel layout.
NY-GoodHome handles frameless shower-door and enclosure requests in Brooklyn and New York City. Call (223) 226-1828 with full-shower photos and the current renovation stage.
Choose the Enclosure Layout
A simple swing door, a door with a fixed panel, a corner enclosure or another custom configuration can each solve a different opening. The layout should be based on usable access and the finished room rather than a generic catalog picture.
Door swing also needs clearance from vanities, toilets, towel bars and other fixtures.
Measure After Finished Surfaces Are Complete
Final measurement should normally happen after tile, pan or other surfaces that define the glass opening are finished. Measuring before those dimensions are stable can create a mismatch that custom glass cannot absorb later.
If shower tile or pan work is still in progress, coordinate those services first.
Out-of-Plumb and Out-of-Level Conditions
Real walls are not always perfectly vertical and shower curbs are not always perfectly level. The custom glass layout should reflect the actual finished geometry.
That is one reason this service should not be reduced to ordering a standard-size door.
Hardware and Glass Requirements
Hinges, handles, clips, channels or other support hardware depend on the enclosure design. Glass thickness and safety specifications should follow the selected system and project requirements.
Glass thickness, hardware and finish should follow the selected enclosure system and project requirements.
Frameless Shower vs Tub Enclosure
Standard framed or semi-frameless tub-door products belong on Tub Enclosure Installation & Repair. For custom frameless shower glass, this is the right service.
