Custom Built Shower Doors & Enclosures
Are you ready to replace your glass shower door? Whether you are replacing an old, outdated door or remodeling your entire bathroom, find the perfect custom shower doors for your needs. With various styles of tempered glass and modern European styles, you can eliminate the metal that make even an otherwise well-designed shower look clunky. The best part is that you can do all of this at an affordable cost.
Framed Versus Frameless
One of the first things to consider is what shower style you’d like to see in your bathroom, as there are two main types: framed and frameless. Frameless glass shower doors comprise sturdy, thick glass panels, eliminating the need for metal support frames. This results in a cleaner, more modern appearance, making the shower the focal point of your bathroom. They allow you to highlight unique design elements and are generally lower maintenance.
Framed glass shower doors include heavy-duty framing around the door opening and each panel. Framed glass shower doors are a great option if you’re looking to upgrade from a traditional shower curtain closure for your shower. They are generally a more cost-effective option.

Types of Shower Door Enclosures
Pivot Doors
The most common custom glass shower door choice is probably a pivot door design. In addition to being the most affordable alternative, simple designs frequently are chosen over sliding door types since they are much less likely to stick and provide easy and quick access into your shower. However, one thing that you need to consider before you choose this kind of glass shower enclosure, is to make sure there is sufficient space in your bathroom to allow the door to fully open without there being any type of obstruction from sloping walls or adjacent walls.
For en-suite bathrooms, this is frequently the case. If you do happen to have limited space in your bathroom, then you should consider the two following options instead of a pivot door design.
Sliding Doors
Whenever you have limited space, the traditional pivot door design is often not an option that you can use in your bathroom. In this situation, many homeowners choose a shower enclosure with a sliding door. Glass sliding doors still offer easy access into the shower without needing additional space right next to the enclosure for swinging the door open.
Several kinds of glass sliding door enclosures are available for you to choose from, including both double and single door configurations in addition to smart corner entry designs. Should you choose to go with this kind of enclosure, be sure to keep your sliding mechanisms clean so that the doors don't have a tendency to stick.
Folding Doors
Custom shower doors that fold offer a pivot door's simplicity combined with a sliding door design's space-saving features. These clever contraptions are often called concertina doors. As they open, they collapse into themselves. The door's center pivot runs across the guard rail. This is similar to the way sliding doors work and provides smooth opening action. However, just like sliding doors, the slide rail and folding mechanism need to be kept free of debris and clean for maintaining a tight seal and to prevent sticking as well.
Shower Enclosures
Openness, fluidity, and flow define modern bathroom design. Even with large glass shower enclosures, you should enjoy seamless designs with a contemporary flair that will never go out of style. When you take advantage of features like seamless glass designs, high-quality glass, and other modern amenities to open your bathroom design, you significantly improve your home value and the feel of your bathroom for less.
