Custom Shower Glass in NYC
Shower glass is fabricated to the completed enclosure. Tile, curb, walls, plumbing trim and waterproofing should be finalized before the opening is measured.
Shower configurations
- Frameless hinged shower doors.
- Fixed panels and walk-in shower screens.
- Sliding glass shower systems.
- Tub enclosures and door-and-panel combinations.
- Corner and neo-angle layouts where geometry and hardware allow.
Glass options
- Clear tempered glass for an open look.
- Low-iron glass for reduced green tint.
- Frosted or patterned privacy options.
- Different thicknesses selected for the hardware and span.
- Protective surface treatments where available and appropriate.
What must be complete before measurement
- Tile and stone surfaces are permanently installed.
- The curb, threshold and walls are finished.
- Shower fixtures and handles will not interfere with the door swing.
- The opening has been checked for plumb, level and square.
- Waterproofing and drainage have been completed by the responsible bathroom contractor.
Hardware and operation
- Hinges, clamps, channels and handles should match the glass thickness and layout.
- Door swing must clear toilets, vanities, towel bars and the bathroom entrance.
- Fixed panels need suitable support and attachment surfaces.
- Gaps and seals reduce water escape but frameless systems are not aquarium-tight.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should shower glass be measured?
After tile, stone, curb and other surfaces that define the opening are fully installed.
Is low-iron glass required?
No. It is an appearance option that reduces the green tint of regular clear glass, especially noticeable on thicker panels and white tile.
Can a frameless shower be completely watertight?
Frameless systems use controlled gaps and seals, but they are not designed like a sealed aquarium. Layout and showerhead direction affect water containment.
Who handles waterproofing?
The bathroom contractor or waterproofing trade should complete and verify the enclosure before glass measurement. Glass installation does not correct failed waterproofing.
Can the door swing inward and outward?
Some hinge systems allow both directions, but clearances, code considerations, hardware and the bathroom layout determine the final operation.
