BROOKLYN SHOWER DOORS 

Can i measure and install a frameless shower enclosure or do i need a professional to do it?

With the proper guidance and support from us, there is no reason why you should have any problem measuring or installing. We do insist that the installation must be a two person affair. All of our installation crews have two people per truck to install every frameless shower door enclosure. If measured properly, (our collapse [-] team will make sure you do!) your custom frameless shower enclosure will require no fabrication on your part making the installation process a breeze. Always keep in mind you are working with glass. It is safety tempered but still glass. Go slow, 

 

Is there such a thing as a standard size frameless shower door?

The industry has imported standard size, square cut thick glass frameless shower doors that are 28” X 72” or 28” X 78”. We're here to tell you that they don't work because they are mass produced, cut square, and they do not conform to your wall or sill. our manufacturing facility here in Brooklyn new york where each piece is cut to your own individual specifications for your bathroom. It’s like a custom tailored suit that was hand made by us to fit only you.

 

What hardware style should i use when designing my frameless shower door and/or enclosure?

Typically there are two styles to choose from without getting crazy. Square edge or rounded edge hardware and hinges. Square tends to flow better with a more contemporary flair which as the rounded is a more softer feel to the look. We highly recommend dressing your frameless enclosure up simply by choosing one of our beautiful sculptured handles made by the c.R. Laurence company. We stock just about every style and finish available. This simple upgrade can change the entire look of the enclosure as well as adding a decorative towel bar.

 

Should i use clear glass, frosted (acid mist) or a textured glass?

Nothing opens up a bathroom like a clear glass frameless enclosure, especially if you have a small bathroom. For those of you that want or need privacy or you happen to have old tile you want to hide, than acid etch or a textured glass such as rain glass would be the way to go.

 

How do you make a frameless shower doors?

Glass fabrication or fabrication itself means to make something from raw materials, in our case glass. Our raw glass comes in large sheets that are cut by computer to your exact specifications. After the cutting process, the glass is then high polished by machine and mitered if need be. Next, your glass is marked, specifying where all the notches for all the hinges and clip placements will be attached. Your glass is then drilled on our dual sided diamond hydraulic drill press and custom notches can be made by hand at this point. All edges are polished smooth.

 

How thick is the glass used in a frameless shower door and/or enclosure?

The thinnest glass we use for all of our frameless shower doors and enclosures is 3/8” thick. Some of our textured glass we offer only comes 3/8” thick. We also use ½” thick glass. We usually recommend this heavier glass on larger enclosures for the mere reason of rigidity. We always will lead you in the right direction and will advise every client to use the thickness we recommend predicated on the enclosure design.
