Built for Roosevelt's Real Bathrooms
Roosevelt’s housing stock—those classic 1950s and 60s Cape Cods, split-levels, and ranches—presents unique challenges. Many have smaller bathrooms where space efficiency matters most.
Our sliding tub doors are engineered for these real-world situations. We offer both framed and frameless options, with hardware finishes that complement Roosevelt’s traditional and updated home styles.
The glass thickness, track design, and mounting system are all selected based on your specific tub type and wall construction. We work with everything from original cast iron tubs to modern acrylic units, ensuring proper fit and long-term reliability in Roosevelt’s diverse housing landscape.
How much space do sliding bathtub doors actually save compared to hinged doors?
Sliding doors eliminate the need for door swing clearance entirely. A typical hinged door requires 24-30 inches of clear space to open fully—that’s floor space you can’t use for anything else.
With sliding doors, the panels move along the tub opening itself. This means you can place toilets, vanities, or storage much closer to the tub without interference. In Roosevelt’s compact bathroom layouts, this often means the difference between a cramped space and one that feels functional and comfortable.
The space savings become even more significant in narrow bathrooms common in Cape Cod and ranch-style homes, where every inch of floor space affects how the room feels and functions.
Will sliding doors work properly on my existing fiberglass tub surround?
Yes, but it requires the right approach and hardware. Fiberglass has some flexibility, which can make standard installations challenging if not done correctly.
We use specialized mounting systems designed for fiberglass applications. This includes reinforced attachment points and adjustable tracks that accommodate slight movement without affecting door operation. The key is proper measurement and using hardware specifically engineered for fiberglass installations.
Many Roosevelt homes have fiberglass tub surrounds from the 70s and 80s. We’ve successfully installed sliding doors on hundreds of these units. The installation process takes a bit more care, but the results are just as durable and smooth-operating as installations on tile or solid surfaces.
How do I prevent my sliding doors from opening on their own?
Doors that slide open automatically are usually the result of improper track leveling during installation. This is actually a common problem with DIY installations or contractors who don’t specialize in glass work.
The solution involves precise adjustment of the track system. The top rail must be perfectly level, and sometimes we need to create a slight slope toward the closed position to counteract any building settling or minor wall irregularities.
We also check roller alignment and ensure proper weight distribution. Quality rollers with ball bearings and the right track system prevent this issue entirely. When we install sliding doors, we test operation thoroughly and make all necessary adjustments before considering the job complete.
What's involved in maintaining sliding bathtub doors long-term?
Maintenance is minimal with properly installed sliding doors. The main requirement is occasional cleaning of the bottom track to prevent soap scum and hair buildup that can affect smooth operation.
Most homeowners find that a monthly wipe-down of the track with a damp cloth is sufficient. For deeper cleaning, we recommend using a toothbrush with mild cleaner to remove any accumulated debris from the track channels.
The rollers themselves are sealed units that don’t require lubrication. If you notice any sticking or rough operation after several years, it’s usually just track cleaning that’s needed. The glass panels clean just like any shower glass—squeegee after use and periodic cleaning with standard glass cleaner keeps them looking new.
Can sliding doors be installed if my tub has unusual dimensions or isn't perfectly level?
Absolutely. Custom fabrication means we can work with virtually any tub configuration or dimension. Roosevelt homes often have non-standard tub sizes, especially in older homes that have been renovated over the years.
We measure each installation individually and fabricate doors to fit your exact opening. If your tub isn’t perfectly level—which is common in older homes—we adjust the door system during installation to ensure smooth operation and proper water sealing.
Unusual corners, angled walls, or tubs with decorative edges all require custom solutions, but these are challenges we handle regularly. The key is having experienced installers who understand how to adapt standard systems to real-world conditions. That’s why we always do in-home measurements rather than relying on homeowner measurements.
How long does the entire process take from order to installation?
Most sliding door projects are completed within 2-3 weeks from initial measurement to final installation. This includes time for custom glass fabrication, which can’t be rushed if you want precision results.
The process breaks down like this: initial consultation and measurement (1 hour), fabrication time (7-10 business days), and installation (2-4 hours depending on complexity). We coordinate scheduling to minimize any inconvenience to your daily routine.
Rush orders are sometimes possible for an additional fee, but we’ve found that most Roosevelt homeowners prefer to plan ahead rather than compromise on quality. The investment in proper timing ensures everything fits perfectly and operates smoothly from day one.
