We provide custom glass shower door and mirror installation for homes and businesses across Chicago and its suburbs. We install glass exclusively, so every measurement, cut, and installation gets our full attention, and it shows in the fit: frameless and semi-frameless doors that seal properly and hardware that is aligned right the first time.

Every project begins with accurate measurements and a clear understanding of the space. We consider the bathroom layout, surrounding tile, available clearance, glass thickness, hardware placement, and how the finished installation will be used every day.

Common Questions

Glass & Shower Door FAQs

Answers to common questions about custom glass, installation, pricing, and care.

Thickness is a structural decision, not a style preference. Frameless enclosures usually need three-eighths inch or half inch glass because the panel carries its own weight with no framing supporting it. Semi-frameless can run thinner, often quarter inch or three-eighths, since the perimeter framing takes the edge load. Panel size pushes the number up as well, so a wide fixed panel may need half inch glass where a smaller door in the same bathroom would be fine at three-eighths. We specify thickness at the measurement based on your actual panel dimensions.

Tempering puts the glass under internal stress, which is what makes it strong and what makes it break into small blunt fragments instead of sharp shards. Cutting or drilling a tempered panel releases that stress and the whole piece shatters. This is why every cut, notch, and hinge hole has to be made before the glass goes through tempering. It also explains why the measurement matters so much on a custom job. A panel that comes back a quarter inch off is not something anyone can trim on site. It has to be refabricated.

A frameless enclosure controls water through design rather than through a watertight seal. Panel placement, the direction the door swings, the position of the showerhead, and the slope of the shower floor toward the drain all work together to keep water inside. When a frameless enclosure does leak, it is almost always a layout or installation issue rather than a limitation of the style. A worn or missing bottom sweep is the most common single cause, and that is an inexpensive part to replace. Planning the layout properly at the measurement is what prevents the problem in the first place.

Heavy frameless panels transfer all of their weight into the wall through a small number of hinges, so the hardware has to anchor into studs or solid blocking rather than drywall anchors alone. If your bathroom is still in the framing stage, adding blocking behind the future tile is inexpensive and permanently solves the problem. If the walls are already closed and tiled, we locate the existing structure during the measurement and lay out the hardware around what is actually there. Occasionally that means recommending a different configuration, and we will tell you if so.

After the tile and grout are finished and cured. The finished tile surface is what determines the real opening, and measuring off bare framing produces glass that will not fit the completed space. Bring the glass conversation up early though, at the framing stage, because that is when blocking for heavy panels needs to go in. So the sequence is: talk to us early, template late. If you are working with a contractor, we coordinate with them directly on when to come out.

The silicone sealing the perimeter needs time to cure before the enclosure gets wet, and using the shower early can compromise that seal. The exact wait depends on the product used and on the temperature and humidity in the room, so we give you a specific number at the end of the install rather than a general rule. It is worth respecting. A seal that was rushed is a leak that shows up weeks later, and by then it is difficult to trace back to the cause.

Spontaneous breakage in tempered glass is uncommon but it does happen. The two usual causes are a nickel sulfide inclusion, which is a microscopic impurity trapped during manufacturing that can expand over time, and an edge chip that has been quietly stressing the panel for months. In both cases the glass breaking into thousands of small blunt fragments rather than sharp shards is the safety design working correctly. If it happens, keep people and pets out of the room, wear shoes, and do not try to pull remaining pieces from the hardware, since fragments still held in the clamps are under tension.

Squeegee the glass after every shower. That single habit does more than any cleaning product, because it removes the water before the minerals in it have a chance to dry onto the surface. Use a non-abrasive glass cleaner for regular cleaning and avoid scouring pads, which leave fine scratches that then hold deposits even better. Water in the Chicago area is hard enough that spotting sets in faster than people expect. A protective coating applied during fabrication gives the minerals less to grip and makes routine cleaning easier, though it is not permanent and it does not replace the squeegee.

Often yes. If the frame, the hardware, and the wall anchoring are all sound and only the glass is damaged, we can template that opening and fabricate a replacement panel to fit the existing setup. The complication is usually hardware rather than glass. If the enclosure is old enough that the hardware line has been discontinued, matching components can be genuinely unavailable, and building a workaround around unobtainable parts tends to fail within months. We will tell you honestly at the visit which situation you are in.

It depends on clearance more than on looks. A hinged door needs roughly its own width of open floor to swing, so if your vanity or toilet sits close to the shower, a sliding enclosure is usually the only configuration that works without something making contact. Where a hinged door does fit, frameless is worth considering specifically because the room is small. Metal framing creates visual lines that break a compact space into sections, while frameless glass lets the eye read the whole room including the tile behind it. The bathroom does not gain a square foot, but it stops feeling closed in.

Edgework is the finish applied to the exposed edges of the glass, and on a frameless enclosure you see it every day. A polished edge is ground flat and smooth, which reads clean and modern and is the standard choice. A beveled edge is cut at an angle around the perimeter, creating a visible border that catches light and gives a more traditional look. Beveling costs more because it takes additional fabrication. Both are finished so there are no sharp or chipped edges, which is a safety requirement rather than an option.

No. Glass is the only trade we work in, and that is deliberate. Demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, and tile are handled by your contractor, and we come in once the space is finished and ready. If you are managing the project yourself, we will tell you at the measurement exactly what has to be complete before we can fabricate. If you are working with a remodeler, we coordinate with them on sequencing so the glass does not hold up the rest of the job.
