Luxury Glass Shower Enclosures — Southlake’s Premier Choice
When you envision an upscale bathroom renovation in Southlake, it likely includes a glass shower enclosure that marries function and beauty. At Gatsby Glass Southlake, we specialize in crafting custom glass showers that transform ordinary bathrooms into spa-like sanctuaries — elevating the aesthetic, maximizing light, and ensuring performance that lasts.
Why Choose a Custom Glass Shower?
A well-designed glass shower does more than contain water. It can:
- Open up the space — Clear glass lets light flow freely, making baths feel larger and more inviting.
- Highlight your tile and finishes — No bulky frames or opaque panels means your tile work, stone, or feature walls remain visible and showcased.
- Reduce maintenance — With the right glass treatments, water, mineral deposits, and soap scum are easier to manage.
- Enhance value — In luxury markets like Southlake and surrounding areas, a high-end glass shower is a visual upgrade that appeals to homeowners and buyers alike.
Our Process: From Vision to Installation
We believe that a smooth, transparent process is as important as the finished product. Our approach ensures your shower project runs efficiently and delivers outstanding results.
1. In-home consultation and design
We begin with a detailed meeting at your home. We’ll listen to your goals — whether you want frameless, semi-frameless, pivot doors, sliding, curbless entry, or ceiling-hung panels — and assess the space. At this stage, we offer suggestions tailored to your layout, lighting, drainage, and style preferences.
2. Hardware and glass selection
With precise measurements in hand, we guide you through selecting glass thickness, edge profiles, hardware finishes (e.g. brushed nickel, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze), door styles, and hardware configurations. We also present options for glass coatings or treatments that resist stains and simplify cleaning.
3. Fabrication and preparation
Using state-of-the-art cutting and tempering techniques, we manufacture each component to exacting tolerances. We double-check all specifications and prepare the pieces so installation is seamless and secure.
4. Installation day
Certified technicians install your new shower enclosure with care, protecting surrounding surfaces and minimizing disruption. We align and calibrate hardware, check for smooth operation, and seal where necessary to prevent leaks. Typically, installation occurs a few weeks after final measurements, though timing can vary with complexity.
5. Post-install follow-up
Once installed, we walk you through care tips and cleaning routines, and we remain available should adjustments or services be needed. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we stand behind our work.
Styles & Configurations We Offer
We tailor glass showers to suit any architectural vision. Popular configurations include:
- Frameless showers — Minimal hardware for a sleek, modern look.
- Semi-frameless designs — Subtle framing paired with glass to soften transitions.
- Pivot or hinge doors — Elegant swing doors where space allows.
- Sliding (bypass) or bypass-style doors — Ideal for tight or compact bathrooms.
- Curbless / barrier-free entries — Seamless transitions, ideal for accessibility or luxe aesthetic.
- Ceiling-hung or top-supported panels — For dramatic effect and uninterrupted visibility.
We also accommodate custom shapes: angled walls, slope ceilings, curved enclosures — whatever your layout demands, we find a solution.
Glass Options & Treatments
Selecting the right glass and treatments ensures your enclosure is both beautiful and durable. Typical options include:
- Tempered safety glass — Standard safety requirement for shower installations.
- Thicknesses — 3/8″, 1/2″, or 3/4″ depending on span and structural demands.
- Edge finishes — Polished edges, flat edges, beveled, or custom treatments.
- Coatings & sealants — Hydrophobic or oleophobic layers that repel water, reduce spotting, and simplify cleaning.
- Glass textures or patterning — Frosted bands, etched stripes, matte glazing for privacy or accents.
We will help you select combinations that balance light, privacy, maintenance, and aesthetics.
Maintenance & Care Tips
A few best practices will keep your glass shower looking pristine for years:
- Squeegee after each use — Removes water droplets that can leave mineral deposits.
- Use mild, nonabrasive cleaners — Avoid harsh acids or abrasive pads that may degrade coatings or scratch glass.
- Reapply protective coatings (if applicable) — Some hydrophobic treatments benefit from occasional reapplication per manufacturer recommendations.
- Check seals and caulking periodically — Inspect the perimeter and hardware to catch small leaks before they escalate.
- Avoid hard impacts — Refrain from dropping heavy items or tools onto glass surfaces to reduce the risk of chips.
