Shower Door Installation Process

Next, your custom door is fabricated using tempered safety glass that meets all building codes. We handle the ordering, timing, and quality control so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple vendors.
Finally, our experienced installers arrive with everything needed for a complete installation. We protect your existing surfaces, install your new door with precision hardware, and clean up completely. Most installations are completed in a single visit, and you’re using your new shower the same day.

How long does frameless shower door installation take in Bellerose Terrace?
Most customers have their new shower door installed within two weeks of the initial consultation. The process starts with an in-home measurement appointment, typically scheduled within a few days of your call.
Once measurements are complete, your custom door is fabricated—usually taking 7-10 business days. Installation itself is completed in a single visit, typically taking 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of your configuration.
This timeline assumes standard glass and hardware selections. Custom etching or specialty hardware may add a few days to fabrication, but you’ll know the exact timeline before any work begins.
What's the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower doors?
Frameless doors use thicker tempered glass (typically 3/8″ or 1/2″) and minimal hardware, creating a completely open look with maximum light flow. The glass panels are secured directly to the wall with discrete clamps and hinges.
Semi-frameless doors have frames on some edges—usually the top and sides—but leave the opening edge clean. They use slightly thinner glass and cost less than fully frameless options while still providing a modern appearance.
For Bellerose Terrace homeowners, the choice often comes down to budget and aesthetic preference. Frameless doors offer the most dramatic visual impact and easiest cleaning, while semi-frameless provides many of the same benefits at a lower price point.
Do frameless shower doors leak water onto the bathroom floor?
Properly installed frameless doors are designed to contain water effectively, though they’re not 100% waterproof like framed doors with rubber seals. A small amount of water may escape during use, which is normal and expected.
The key is proper installation with correct door alignment and appropriate sealing. Professional installers ensure the door closes flush and install water deflectors where needed to direct water back into the shower.
Your existing shower curb and floor slope also play a role. If water pooling becomes an issue, it’s usually due to installation problems or inadequate shower design rather than the door itself. This is why working with experienced installers familiar with Long Island building practices is essential.
Can you install frameless doors on existing tile and shower bases?
Yes, frameless doors can be installed on most existing tile and shower bases, provided the surfaces are structurally sound and properly aligned. The key factors are wall plumb, level surfaces, and adequate support for the door hardware.
During the measurement visit, we evaluate your existing conditions and identify any issues that need addressing. Minor adjustments like shimming or caulk work can usually be handled during installation.
However, if walls are significantly out of plumb or the shower base has drainage issues, these problems should be corrected first. Attempting to install a precision-fit frameless door on compromised surfaces leads to operational problems and water leakage down the road.
What glass thickness should I choose for my frameless shower door?
Most residential frameless doors use either 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered glass. The 1/2″ option provides a more substantial feel, better stability, and enhanced safety, making it the preferred choice for most installations.
Thicker glass reduces flex and vibration when opening and closing the door, which extends hardware life and maintains proper alignment over time. It also provides better sound dampening and a more premium appearance.
The 3/8″ option costs less and works well for smaller doors or budget-conscious projects. However, for standard-sized shower openings in Bellerose Terrace homes, the upgrade to 1/2″ glass is usually worth the additional investment for long-term performance and satisfaction.
How do I maintain and clean my new frameless shower door?
Daily maintenance is simple: squeegee or towel-dry the glass after each shower to prevent water spots and soap buildup. This takes less than a minute but dramatically reduces deep cleaning needs.
For weekly cleaning, use a standard glass cleaner or a solution of white vinegar and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can damage the glass or hardware finishes. A microfiber cloth works best for streak-free results.
Hard water stains, common in some Long Island areas, may require periodic treatment with a calcium and lime remover. If buildup becomes severe, professional cleaning services can restore the glass to like-new condition without risking damage to the door or hardware.
