Frameless Glass Showers FAQs
Q: What is a frameless glass shower?
A: A frameless glass shower is constructed using thick tempered safety glass and minimal hardware, eliminating bulky metal framing. This design provides a clean, modern appearance while maintaining structural stability and long-term durability.
Q: What thickness of glass do you use for frameless showers?
A: We typically install 3/8" or 1/2" tempered safety glass. Glass thickness is selected based on panel size, layout, mounting method, and design intent to ensure proper support, performance, and longevity.
Q: Are frameless glass showers custom-made?
A: Yes. Every frameless shower we install throughout Georgia, is custom-measured and fabricated to fit the exact dimensions and conditions of the space, including benches, knee walls, niches, transoms, and unique architectural details.
Q: Do you offer sliding, hinged, and steam shower configurations?
A: We design and install hinged doors, sliding glass doors, fixed panels, and fully enclosed steam shower configurations. Each system is engineered based on the client’s layout, usage requirements, and aesthetic goals.
Q: Can frameless glass showers be installed in zero-threshold or curbless bathrooms?
A: Yes. Frameless glass showers are well suited for zero-threshold and curbless designs when properly planned. Panel sizing, door seals, and water management are carefully considered to ensure performance without compromising accessibility.
Q: What hardware finishes are available for shower installations?
A: Shower hardware is available in a range of finishes including matte black, brushed nickel, chrome, brushed gold, and bronze. Hardware selection is coordinated to complement surrounding fixtures and overall bathroom design.
Q: Is your shower glass treated or protected?
A: Yes. We offer both hydrophobic glass and optional glass surface coatings. Hydrophobic glass is manufactured with a water-repellent surface built into the glass itself, providing long-term resistance to water spotting and mineral buildup. We also offer aftermarket protective coatings, which are applied after installation to help reduce maintenance and improve ease of cleaning.
