What changes the price of a frameless shower
Layout and glass area. This is the biggest factor by far. A door plus a panel uses more glass, more hardware and more install time than a single door, and a corner enclosure adds a return panel on top of that.
Height. Ceiling-height and steam showers use much more glass, and often thicker 1/2 inch glass instead of the standard 3/8 inch. Those projects land above the typical ranges.
Glass type. Clear tempered glass is our standard. Ultra Clear low-iron glass removes the green tint you see on the edges of regular glass and pairs especially well with white tile and marble. It costs more, and rain and other textured glass cost more again. See more glass and style options in custom glass showers for Treasure Valley homes.
Hardware finish. Matte black is the most popular finish on our showers, followed by chrome, brushed nickel and bronze. Finish changes the price only slightly, so choose the one that matches your fixtures.
Clamps or a U-channel. Fixed panels can be held with small clamps or a slim U-channel along the bottom. The price difference is minor, so pick the look you like.
Walls that aren't square. Almost no bathroom is perfectly plumb. We measure after your tile is finished and build each panel to the actual opening, because tempered glass can't be trimmed once it's made. That's part of how we work, so crooked walls don't turn into surprise charges. Here's how a custom glass shower goes from measurement to installation.
Frameless, semi-frameless or sliding?
Semi-frameless sliding doors generally cost less than a frameless enclosure, and they work well in tight bathrooms where a swinging door would hit the toilet or vanity. Frameless barn-door style sliders cost more than a standard frameless swing door. Most of our customers choose frameless swing doors because they give the cleanest look, have no bottom track to collect grime, and let the tile be the star of the room. Our shower door installation guide walks through each style in more detail.
Boise's hard water and your glass
Treasure Valley water is hard, and the minerals leave spots on shower glass. A quick squeegee after each shower goes a long way. Ask us about protective glass coatings during your consultation; they help water sheet off and make spots easier to wipe away.
