Frameless and framed are the two primary types of shower doors with semi-frameless falling somewhere in between. Most glass shower doors are made with tempered glass for safety, however laminated glass is also acceptable in framed doors. In addition to clear glass, we also offer patterned glass, sand blasting, as well as gray and bronze glass. Don't like the green tint in clear glass? Then consider Starphire glass, a low iron option that removes most of the naturally occurring green tint.
Needless to say shower doors look great when new, but many don't age well. Hard water can make the glass look dull and diminish the wow factor that your shower door once had. To prevent this, a protective coating can be applied at the manufacturing level. Protective coatings reduce maintenance, and help to keep your shower door looking beautiful for years to come.
Finally, we must consider the hardware finish. Typically we match the finish of existing faucets, but for the bold, it can serve as continuity or an accent in the trend of mixing metals in the bathroom. With all the available options, choosing the right shower door layout can be difficult at times. We will guide you through the process with detailed explanations so you're confident in what you're buying.
Here at Glass & Tile Works, we take a minimalist approach to frameless shower doors. While others are adding tons brackets, we skillfully install shower doors with just the right amount of hardware. If it's a cleaner more modern look you prefer, then you've come to the right place.
