Glass Door Experts Huntington NY
OMG Shower Doors has been solving bathroom problems for Huntington families since day one. Over 10,000 installations later, we’ve seen every challenge these local homes can throw at us.
From the historic properties near Huntington Harbor to the newer developments off Route 110, we understand how Long Island homes are built. Every installation accounts for the quirks that come with local architecture—uneven walls, vintage plumbing, tight spaces.
We’re the team contractors call when they need it done right the first time, and the company homeowners trust when their bathroom renovation absolutely has to work.
Bathtub Door Installation Process Huntington
We start with precise measurements at your home. Not rough estimates—exact measurements that account for your tub’s specific dimensions, wall conditions, and any existing fixtures that might affect installation.
Your doors are then custom-fabricated using tempered safety glass and commercial-grade hardware. Everything is built specifically for your bathroom, not adapted from a standard size that “should” fit.
Installation typically takes 2-4 hours. Our team protects your existing surfaces, installs the complete track system, fits and adjusts the glass panels, seals everything properly, and cleans up completely. You’re using your new doors the same day.

Custom Sliding Tub Doors Huntington
Your sliding bathtub doors use 3/8-inch tempered safety glass that won’t shatter into dangerous pieces if damaged. The track system features precision-engineered rollers that glide smoothly even after years of daily use.
Space is precious in Huntington homes, especially in older properties where bathrooms weren’t designed for modern living. Sliding doors need zero clearance space—you can have fixtures, vanities, or storage right next to your tub without interference.
Choose from frameless designs for a modern, spa-like feel, or framed options that complement traditional bathroom styles. Hardware finishes include chrome, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black to match your existing fixtures perfectly.
How much space do I need for sliding bathtub doors?
Zero additional clearance space. That’s the biggest advantage over hinged doors that swing out into your bathroom.
Sliding doors operate on a track system, so they never extend beyond the tub opening. You can have a vanity, toilet, or storage cabinet right next to the tub without any clearance concerns. This makes them perfect for Huntington’s older homes where bathrooms are typically compact.
Standard 60-inch alcove tubs work perfectly, as do most custom and corner installations. The doors are built to your exact opening dimensions.
What's the difference between frameless and framed sliding tub doors?
Framed doors have aluminum frames around the glass panels. They’re more economical and provide a traditional look that works well with classic bathroom designs.
Frameless doors eliminate visible framing for a sleek, modern appearance. They use thicker 3/8-inch glass and specialized mounting hardware to maintain structural integrity without frames. The result is a cleaner look that makes your bathroom feel more spacious and upscale.
Semi-frameless options provide minimal framing where structurally necessary while maintaining cleaner lines than fully framed designs. Your choice depends on your aesthetic preference and budget.
How long does installation take for sliding bathtub doors?
Most installations are completed in 2-4 hours, depending on your specific bathroom configuration. Standard replacements on typical alcove tubs are usually on the shorter end, while custom configurations or challenging installations take longer.
The process involves mounting the track system securely to your walls, installing and adjusting the glass panels for smooth operation, and properly sealing all connections. Our professional installers bring all specialized tools and handle complete cleanup.
You can shower the same day, though waiting 24 hours allows sealants to fully cure for optimal water protection.
Do sliding bathtub doors leak water onto the floor?
Properly installed sliding doors contain water effectively, but they’re not hermetically sealed like a shower enclosure. Minimal water can escape at the track during heavy shower use, but this is normal and manageable.
Quality installation includes proper sealing at all mounting points and ensuring the track system drains back into the tub. The track is designed to channel any water away from your bathroom floor rather than allowing it to pool.
For households with high-pressure shower systems or multiple shower heads, specific design considerations can further improve water containment during the consultation.
Can sliding doors be installed on any bathtub?
Most standard bathtubs can accommodate sliding doors, but your tub and surrounding walls need adequate structural support for the mounting system.
Standard alcove tubs, drop-in tubs, and most corner installations work well. Clawfoot tubs, some specialty shapes, and installations with structural issues may require modifications or alternative solutions. The walls must be plumb and solid enough to support the track system securely.
During the initial consultation, we evaluate your specific tub, wall conditions, and bathroom layout to confirm compatibility and discuss any necessary modifications.
What maintenance do sliding bathtub doors require?
Maintenance is minimal with quality sliding doors. Regular cleaning with standard glass cleaners keeps the panels clear, and occasional track cleaning prevents soap buildup that could affect smooth operation.
The roller and track systems are engineered for years of daily use without adjustment. If you notice any sticking or unusual sounds, it’s typically resolved by cleaning the track thoroughly or applying appropriate lubricant to the roller mechanisms.
Avoid abrasive cleaners on glass and metal components. Quality hardware finishes resist water spots and corrosion with basic care, maintaining their appearance for years.
